(Explanation that the highest part of Paradise is al-Firdaus and its description) But its highest part is al-Firdaus, covered by the Throne of the Creator, the Most Merciful, in the midst of the Gardens and their height, so that is why
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"But its highest part is al-Firdaus, covered *** by the Throne of the Creator, the Most Merciful"
Covered, meaning: its ceiling is the Throne of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and His Throne (Glorified and Exalted is He) is above His heavens like a dome. A dome means: a tent. He says:
"In the midst of the Gardens" meaning: it is in the midst of the Gardens
"And their height, so that is why *** it was a dome of the most beautiful construction"
Meaning, al-Firdaus—may Allah make me and you among its people—is like a dome above which is the Throne of the Lord (Mighty and Majestic)
"And from it gush forth all the rivers *** so the spring from it descends to the Gardens"
It descends, because this is the highest level of Paradise.
The Shaykh : I want to verify that its levels are one hundred, and that the distance between each level and the next is like the distance between the sky and the earth, the most noble, the two, right?
