Status Updates From In the Voice of Jannah

I will always be more than you imagine.

I will always be more than you imagine.

I will always be more than you imagine.

When you raise your hands with prayers and pleas,
O believer in need-don't forget to ask for me.
I am never more than a du'a away,
so let me tell you what to say:
ask for words and deeds matter.
Ask for blessings never ceasing,
ask for joys that keep increasing.
Ask for forgiveness, ease, and pleasure-
beg to be rewarded without measure.

All of creation was built by one word:
"Be," said He, and it was-except four.
His Throne, the Pen, Adam, and I-
lovingly created by His own Hands,
topped with al-Firdaus, the highest of me,
decorated with His Speech, telling me:
"Be more, O paradise, be more,
more pleasant, more pretty, and more;
you are the gift My friends are waiting for."

Noise-endless noises everywhere.
Clanging, crashes, gossip, slander,
traffic, screams, and idle chatter.
Not here, weary soul, not here.
I have peace and quiet and clear
angelic voices singing praises,
chimes and dhikr and private spaces.
So rest, rest deeply in my quiet
with no clamor left to break the silence.

I saw you down on Earth, serving all you knew,
your elders, your neighbors, the hungry, too.
You refused no one who knocked at your door.
worked long hours, helped the poor.
You took care of the ill, both human and pet;
in service of others you strained and you sweat.
And now it's all over-your rest will be sublime
among those who will serve you for the rest of time.

rise through the ranks of Heaven with your deeds.
Call out to your Lord at night, and rise.

You are with those you love
rising up through skies above.
Family, friends, and the Companions alike

Paradise is not just our final destination-it is home, the eternal home that our souls long to return to.

"With each ‘SubhanAllah,’ you planted a seed, and my soils, rich and deep,
heard you and took heed. Now look, O righteous one,
and see the immortal forests you’ve raised with your deeds."
