We should keep in mind not to take the descriptions of heaven too literally. The akhira is out of the reaches of our earthly perception and senses. The descriptions given in the Quran of heaven (and hell) are there to connect to our current senses and give us an idea of how blissful or tormenting the afterlife is.

Peace
