Tasbeehaat and Tasbeeh

Tasbeehaat are trees in Jannah. The land of Jannah is extremely fertile. It is an vacant flat land. Allah Ta'ala makes a tree grow for every Tasbeeh that a person does. It is as if Allah Ta'ala has granted us a land to cultivate. But is it not a way of saying that someone who makes Tasbeehaat will enter Jannah? Allah Ta'ala is full of grace, pity and immense goodness. It is not possible that Allah Ta'ala grows trees for someone in Jannah due to his Tasbeehaat and then He prevents him from entering.

If Tasbeehaat has such value, then anything that will help one to practice it will also have value. One of the most effective ways is to keep a Tasbeeh in one's pocket which serves as a reminder from time to time. This is something which the Sahaabah-e-Kiraam (Radiyallahu Anhu) made use of in order to do Tasbeeh. There is no reason to prevent or discourage something so effective. People can say whatever they want but someone who has Ilm-e-Deen and believe in the principles of Hadith established by the scholars of Hadith, will not be able to say anything besides accepting it. And beware! It should not be called 'counting seed'. One must not make such fun of it. It is very serious. One can lose our Imaan by such a declaration.

The path to Allah Ta'ala does not only become easy but delicious when it is crossed in the company of the pious just as a journey at sea goes safely under the guidance of those who know the path well.

Deen makes Insaan become an Insaan so that Insaan can live with Amaan (peace).
