Question:
In my dream I thought I was in jannah. I was filled with love of Allah, I then looked around and saw my friends playing volleyball in the distance. I didn’t join them. I saw a crack in the wall so I said this isn’t jannah, it’s barzakh
Answer:
You saw the goal of those seeking Allah’s Pleasure, Ridwanullah, a special Paradise where only the love of Allah (swt) is important. Others, seeking all kinds of rewards, are likened by the Sufis to “traders,” “give me this and I give you that.”
“O my people! This worldly life is but a brief enjoyment, whereas, behold, the life to come is the home abiding.” (Surah Ghafir, 40:39)
Allah knows best,
