Will Heaven Be Boring?

26 October, 2022
Q Won’t living eternally in the Hereafter and doing almost the same things over and over become boring?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Responding to the question in point, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:

Heaven is an abode of perfect bliss; it is incomparable to anything we could conceive of or hear or see in this state of existence.

Allah says, “No soul knows what joy is kept hidden in store for them as a reward for their (good) works.” (As-Sajdah 32: 17)

And the Prophet (peace be upon him) reported from his Lord in a sacred tradition: “I have prepared for My righteous servants such bliss the like of which no eyes have ever seen, and no ears have heard about, or no mind could ever conceive of.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

So, you need to stop comparing the experience that lies beyond our ken of perception or that which transcends our usual mode of thinking based on our limited senses or faculties we possess now.

I would advise you, therefore, to focus on higher priorities since the time allotted to us is too precious to waste on such frivolities.

I pray to Allah to bless us all with the entry into the state of bliss in the next world.

Almighty Allah knows best.
