Flying high
Squaak! Zarqawi wants a bisquit!
Marwaan said: “We asked `Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood, may Allaah be pleased with him, about the following verse: (which translates as): “And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allaah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.” (Aal-`Imraan: 169).’ He, may Allaah be pleased with him, replied: “We asked the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam about this verse and he replied: “Their (i.e., the martyrs’ souls) will live inside green birds that dwell in designated lamps which hang on the throne of Allaah, they will roam freely in Paradise as they please, then return to these lamps”” (Muslim).
As to the 72 delectable ‘virgins’, they turn out to be, well, white grapes.
Of course, this is the best-case scenario.
Thank you very very much! You made my life so much easier!
