What is the interpretation of the noble verse, "But for he who has feared the station of his Lord, there will be two Gardens," from Surat Ar-Rahman, and what are these two Gardens, where are they located, what are their names, and how does the fear that leads to them come about, and is one of them on Earth?
Paradise is above the seven heavens and beneath the Throne. Evidence of its elevated position is found in the : "Indeed, in Paradise there are a hundred levels which Allah has prepared for those who strive in His cause. The distance between any two levels is like the distance between the heavens and the earth. So, if you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaws, for it is the best and highest part of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it spring forth the rivers of Paradise."
The names of the two Gardens mentioned in Ar-Rahman are Jannat 'Adn and Jannat Na'im. Attaining these two Gardens is for those who fear the station of their Lord and abandon sins and desires.
It was also said: one of the two Gardens is a reward for abstaining from prohibitions, and the other for performing righteous deeds.
