Will you eat birds in Jannah?
This morning, we were listening to an audio lecture on Jannah. The sheikh was describing how in jannah, wanting for anything and having it will be instantaneous. He said how when you see a bird flying in jannah, and if your appetite for it is whetted, you will just point to it and there it will be, cooked and ready to eat just the way you like it.
My dad was sitting there with us in the living room, listening, and goes, “Will you eat birds in Jannah, DigiN?” 
I am not a meat-eater, so I am guessing that consuming birds won’t figure in my jannah…but only Allah knows. I might change my tastes for the birds of Jannah!
What do I want in jannah? I have literally no idea. I think a really nice quiet lushly green spot, with a big waterfall and beautiful fish (not to eat!) where I can entertain the people of my heart sounds like jannah. But Allah knows, if I ever make it to the gates of jannah, I will want more, eh? 
Somehow, jannah always equals trees and greenery for me…
What does it take to plant a tree for yourself in Jannah? The single recitation of SubhanAllah walhamdulillah wa laa ilaaha illallahu wAllahu Akbar; wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billahil aliyil adhim gives us a tree of our own in Jannah, no watering, no fertilizer, no pruning required.
InshaAllah, we will all have acres of trees waiting for us, by just doing this dhikr whenever we are bored out of our minds sitting around waiting for class to begin, or on our way to the mall, or whatever it is that is otherwise just empty time in our day.
What will be the centerpiece of your jannah? Share and inspire
as-Salaamu`alaykum
Insha’Allaah you and your family are doing well.
The centerpiece of my Jannah would be my family being present before me, smiling and laughing, feeling no sadness and running around on beautiful green fields, next to beautiful lakes and rivers.
May Allaah guide us and our families so that we can make it to Jannah, aameen
Assalamualaikum my dear sister!
Thank you so much for the tip! Inshahallah I will recite it more often so I can have a Forest!!!
Somehow, my Jannah is white, cloudy and everyone is happy. I think I’ve been influenced by the movies too much!
Need to keep dhikr-ing so I can have a green jannah, inshahallah.
Ameeeen to the dua.
I hope I can visit you in Jannah.
You know what I’ll do…go by your fish pond, and point at a lil fishy and say I wanna eat it. 
You’ll let me, right?
Then, you and our mother can come back with me to my special house, and I’ll have the wives and daughters of Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) there too…imagine that.
Er, I can keep the whole day dream goin, but I’ll stop here. 
Btw, will our dad eat birds?! You shoulda asked him.
Umm Layth, Wa Alaikum aSalaam, ya Ukhti…all well with the grace of Allah, alhamdulillah; and hoping the same for you! Ameen to your duaa; may you and yours enjoy eternal happiness! Ameen! Thanks for sharing
Sumaya, Wa Alaikum aSalaam, sister from down under
Inshallah, your forest is growing larger everyday! Thanks for sharing, and keep dhikr-ing!
DigiJ, Excuse me missy–you better be visiting me in Jannah! And you eating my fishies sounds like a deal–you eat em and I’ll keep getting em replaced with better ones
