To learn everything about history. I want to learn how life started and how it came to an end.
To become a six year old boy again.
What are the things you would wish for in Jannah?

Thank you, brother for a brilliant suggestion. I've never liked growing up!!! My second wish is to become a six to eleven year old kid (my age changes according to my mood) with a huge, gigantic library of books. Books that I can enter and explore, go on many exciting adventures and have the time of my life. Imagine being able to enter fairy tale books like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin. Or adventure story books like Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, The Jungle Book or classics like Anne of Green Gables. The sky is the limit!!!!

wonderful thread Flame.
1. To see Allah(swt) *sigh*
2. To meet all the Prophets and Sahabahs and listen to their stories.
3. To be reunited with my family.
InshAllah.
May Allah(swt) make things easier for us. May He guide us to the straight path and keep us far away from evil.

I'm going to refrain from telling you about the obvious wishes, as some people have done... (Like the peace of mind, worship, meeting Allah, etc... All of those things are good, but kinda obvious, and not really fun for a thread like this... Well, imo. 
)
Anyway, I'd love to go to different worlds... And by that I mean fictional worlds that I may have read about/seen in movies/or even imagined in this world. Also, maybe go back in time to learn about interesting historical events in person... And... A bunch of other things that I can't quite think of right now...
Agreed. They seem to contain a kind of... Lighthearted quality to them... Or something like that. It's a refreshing change of pace from the overly serious/depressing stuff we get here sometimes.

Ummmmm. I'm soooooooo sorry sister. But you won't be able to do that in Jannah.
Allah won't allow it since you would be His guest. So you might wanna do all your prostrations here in this world while you can. Why, come to think of it, you know what that means? It simply means that Jannah is here on earth as well.

Asalaamu Alaikum, just to correct you sister we will be able to prostrate to Allah in Jannah. Rasulallah (Sallallahu ALaihi Wasallam) was approached by a man who asked if it will be possible to do Salaah in Jannah because he loved Salaah so much and Rasulallah (Sallallahu ALaihi Wasallam) replied yes it will be possible for him to do so. But of course we should prostrate in our life in this world as much as is possible so that we may be be closer to Allah and please him and be elevated into the high ranks of Paradise.
May Allah instill so much love into our hearts for prostration and Salaah so that we may desire to continue to do so in Jannah. Ameen

I do not doubt that at all, brother Hamza81. It wouldn't be Jannah if we weren't granted our heart's desire.

A very nice article I found which I think would delight our readers here.
The blue highlighting done by Flame, coz it's relevant to this thread. :statisfie
--------------------------------
A Paradise Beyond the Imagination
They will have there all that their hearts desire and in which their eyes find delight. You will remain in it timelessly, forever. (Surat az-Zukhruf: 71)
We can get a general idea of what Paradise is like from the fact that the blessings of Paradise are similar to those in this world (Surat al-Baqara, 25) and from the descriptions and comparisons found in the Qur'an. Allah said in the Qur'an that He "will admit them into Paradise, which He has made known to them." (Surah Muhammad, 6)
So we can, with Allah's permission, glean some information while still living this earthly life. However, Allah bestows this knowledge only to give us"an idea of what Paradise is like, for in reality its beauty and blessings are beyond our conception. For example, the verse "in it there are rivers of water that will never spoil, and rivers of milk whose taste will never change, and rivers of wine, delightful to all who drink it, and rivers of honey of undiluted purity" (Surah Muhammad, 15) shows us that Paradise contains excellences that cannot be compared with things in this world. A hadith also indicates this unimaginable beauty:
Allah said: "I have prepared for My pious servants things which have never been seen by an eye, nor heard by an ear, or (even) imagined by a human being." (Muslim)
In one verse, Allah says that believers will live in Paradise as His welcome guests:
But those who heed their Lord will have Gardens through which rivers flow, to live in for ever as a welcome from Allah. What is with Allah is better for those who are truly good. (Surah Al 'Imran, 198)
In this verse, Allah describes Paradise as a place of celebration. The end of the world, passing the test, and reaching one's true homeland is certainly a reward worth celebrating. This celebration's duration, dimensions, and content will be too glorious to compare with anything on Earth.
An eternal life full of such never-ending blessings brings a joy that belongs only to Paradise: not to grow tired. Believers in Paradise speak of this excellence as "no weariness or fatigue affects us" (Surah Fatir, 35).
Of course, this includes mental fatigue. People living under this world's prevailing conditions tire easily, because their bodies are created weak. When they get tired, their minds begin to get cloudy, they lose concentration and find it hard to think and conceptualize. But this does not happen in Paradise, for its people's minds are always open, and their consciousness is clear so that they can perceive Allah's blessings perfectly and take pleasure from them. Since this sense of fatigue, which comes from the world's imperfections, is eliminated, believers can have the uninterrupted benefit of endless blessings. People will find perfect joy in Paradise's blessings and go from one blessing to another.
In an environment with no fatigue or boredom, Allah rewards believers by creating "whatever they wish" (Surat ash-Shura, 22; Surat al-Furqan, 16; Surat az-Zumar, 34). There, they have everything that their hearts want. In Surat al-Kahf, 35, Allah says that He will give believers more than they can desire or imagine, and that these blessings will be increased several-fold in Paradise. One hadith paints the beauty of Paradise as follows:
I asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Of what was the creation made?" He replied: "Of water." We asked: "(As for) Paradise, what is its foundation?" He said: "One brick of gold and one brick of silver. Its mortars are of musk of strong scent, its stones are pearls and emeralds, and its soil is of saffron. Whoever enters it will be in bliss and not in want, live in bliss and not die, their clothes will not get old, and their youth will not end." (Ahmad, Tirmidhi)
Allah, Who created human beings, certainly knows better than they what their hearts desire, and so will create these things for believers as a reward in Paradise. The Qur'an announces some of these blessings; the rest are left to the pleasure and desire of the believers' imagination. Generally speaking, all believers delight in the same things, with only slight differences in details. A person can ask the Lord for blessings that appear impossible under this world's conditions, or for blessings of which they have no knowledge. Another verse describes the incomparable beauty of these things:
Platters and cups of gold will be passed around among them, and they will have there all that their hearts desire and in which their eyes find delight. You will remain in it timelessly, forever. (Surat az-Zukhruf, 71)
From this verse, we can understand that believers expect surprises in Paradise; that they will be pleased with, and derive pleasure from, what they see. They also feel happiness when they see the pleasure and happiness experienced by other believers.
Also, we must not forget that one of the greatest blessings of Paradise is protection from the agonies of Hell (Surat ad-Dukhan, 56). All of these things provide a great means of thanksgiving for believers, who can see Hell when they desire and speak with its inhabitants. The Qur'an describes how believers give thanks to Allah, as follows:
They will say: "Beforehand we used to live in fear among our families. But Allah was gracious to us and safeguarded us from the punishment of the searing wind. Beforehand we certainly used to call upon Him because He is the All-Good, the Most Merciful." (Surat at-Tur, 26-28)
In the Qur'an, Allah uses different names when referring to the gardens of Paradise, such as Gardens of Eden, Gardens of Refuge, Gardens of Firdaws, and Gardens of Delight. These names may express the different sections in which various pleasures are to be experienced. (Allah knows the truth.) It is also possible that Paradise may have various degrees or different sections. We can infer this from the following verse:
But as for those who come to Him as believers, having done right actions, they will have the highest ranks. (Surah Taha, 75)
The Qur'an describes Paradise as: "Wherever you look, you will see pleasure and great dominion." (Surat al-Insan, 20)
The following hadith indicates that every detail found in Paradise holds great beauties and blessings: "There is no tree in Paradise that does not have a trunk of gold" (Tirmidhi). Every corner is furnished with countless blessings, thanks to Allah's incomparable knowledge. These things are prepared only for believers, whom Allah forgives in His mercy and accepts into His Paradise.
In the Qur'an, Allah describes the believers' state in Paradise as follows:
We will strip away any rancor in their hearts - brothers, resting on couches face-to-face. (Surat al-Hijr, 47)
Remaining in them timelessly, forever, with no desire to move away from them. (Surat al-Kahf, 108)

Of course, sister! Of course you will be able to do that if that is what you wish. After all it's Jannah.
But Allah doesn't expect us nor require us to prostrate to Him in Jannah. There's more meaning to it if you prostrate to Him when you can't see Him at all, like in this dunya. So that encourages me to increase my prostrations now, while I can.And besides there's more reward for us each time we prostrate to Allah, while unable to see Him. You can prostrate to Allah in Jannah if you like, but one can't expect that to increase our reward. Making it to Jannah is a reward in itself!!!
You know, there's also a strange case of a man who liked hard work. He wanted to continue farming because of the pleasure it used to give him in this dunya. So in Jannah, he insisted that he wanted to continue his hard work. Well, guess what? He would sow the seeds and immediately there would be a huge harvest. LOL.
Well, that's Jannah! You get whatever you want. Even work. ;D

What a beautiful thing you have asked for me, sister. Going to the highest level of Paradise and that too without reckoning? :thankyou:
Sigh! I wish I could go to Jannah without reckoning. But if wishes were horses beggars would ride. There's a very strong possibility that I'm gonna be held up at the check post for questioning and not let off so easy. :'(
So please everyone! Does anyone know how this feat can be accomplished? How can we go to Paradise without reckoning? I wanna know!!!!

Husain b. 'Abd al-Rahman reported: I was with Sa'id b. Jubair when he said: Who amongst you saw a star shooting last night? I said: It was I; then I said: I was in fact not (busy) in prayer, but was stung by a scorpion (and that is the reason why I was awake and had a glimpse of the shooting star). He said: Then what did you do? I said: I practised charm. He said: What urged you to do this? I said: (I did this according to the implied suggestion) of the hadith which al-Shu'ba narrated. He said: What did al-Shu'ba narrate to you? I said: Buraida b. Husaib al-Aslami narrated to us. The charm is of no avail except in case of the (evil influence) of an eye or the sting of a scorpion. He said: He who acted according to what he had heard (from the Holy Prophet) acted rightly, but Ibn 'Abbas narrated to us from the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) that he said: There were brought before me the peoples and I saw an apostle and a small group (of his followers) along with him, another (apostle) and one or two persons (along with him) and (still another) apostle having no one with him. When a very large group was brought to me I conceived as if it were my Ummah. Then it was said to me: It is Moses and his people. You should look at the horizon, and I saw a very huge group. It was again said to me: See the other side of the horizon, and there was (also) a very huge group. It was said to me: This is your Ummah, and amongst them there were seventy thousand persons who would be made to enter Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. He then stood up and went to his house. Then the people began to talk about the people who would be admitted to Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. Some of them said: They may be those who (have had the good fortune of living) in the company of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and some of them said: They be those who were born in Islam and did not associate anything with Allah. Some people mentioned other things. Thereupon came forth the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) before them and he said: What was that which you were talking about? They informed him. He said: They are those persons who neither practise charm, nor ask others to practise it, nor do they take omens, and repose their trust in their Lord. Upon this 'Ukkasha b. Mihsan stood up and said: Supplicate for me that He should make me one among them. Upon this he (Messenger of Allah) said: Thou are one among them. Then another man stood up and said: Supplicate before Allah that He should make me one among them. Upon this he said: 'Ukkisha has preceded you.

Here's the hadith regarding the man who loved to work.
Narrated Abu Huraira (ra) that the Prophet (saws) was narrating a Hadith while a Bedouin was in his company: One of the inhabitants of Paradise will seek permission from his Lord for cultivation. Allah will ask him: What do you wish? He will reply in affirmative and say: But I like to cultivate (the land). (When the man is permitted) he will soon sow the seeds. The plants will grow up, get ripe and be ready for harvesting. Then the yield will develop into conglomeration like huge mountains then Allah (swt) will say: O son of Adam! Nothing can satisfy you. At this, the Bedouin remarked: O Allah's Messenger! This man must be either from Quraish (i.e. an emigrant) or an Ansari (resident of Al-Madina) because they are cultivators whereas we are not. (on hearing it) Allah's Messenger (saws) laughed.
(This Hadith is sound and reported by Bukhari.)

True,
As a baby we have wants that we outgrow as we become toddlers. We out grow our toddler wants when we enter childhood. We find new wants and desires as we enter adolescence and when we enter adult hood we have new wants and needs while forsaking things from our Childhood. As we approach old age, we again have new desires and loose interest in things we wanted in the past. Finally in our last years we see a new world with a new set of wants, needs and desires. Based upon this it seems if we are fortunate enough to mature to Jannah we will enter into a life of wants and desires we can not understand while we are still in this dunya, Just as a Child can not understand the wants of an Adult.
