Hey behlu gahlu.


The life of this world is only temporary, and it is a trial from Allaah. We don't have to be extravagant in this life, and we should use our wealth to support the poor, needy, weak etc.


However, in paradise there will be places to live.

"In Paradise there are dwellings whose inside can be seen from the outside,and the outside can be seen from inside. Allâh [swt] has prepared them for those who feed the hungry, and speak softly and gently, fast continuously and pray at night whilst the people are asleep." [Sahîh al-Jâmi' as-Saghîr, 2/220, no. 2119]

Allâh (swt) will build good and beautiful dwellings for the people of Paradise:

"and beautiful mansions in Gardens of everlasting bliss" [9:72]

In some places in the Qur'ân, Allâh (swt) described these dwellings as ghurafât [chambers or dwellings]:

"and they will reside in the high dwellings [Paradise] in peace and security." [34:37]

The reward for the slaves of the all-Merciful will be:

"Those will be rewarded with the highest place [in Paradise] because of their patience. Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect" [25:75]

The reason why paradise is so rewarding is because the real life is the afterlife. Those who work hard in this world while submitting to Allah and obeying His messengers will be rewarded with a greater reward because of all that they did. Allaah is Rich and he will reward the believers, and He knows that mankind does desire good things. So by working hard, He rewards the believers and those who have submitted to Him in a paradise where they can have all that they desire.



Allaah Almighty knows best.



Peace.
