This is a simple matter which any person of average intellect can understand. But many people misinterpret the concept of Shifaat and think that the Prophets and Imams will save them from the hell-fire even if they were disloyal and disobedient to Allah (swt). Quran has made it very clear that no Prophet or Imam will do Shifaat without the consent of Allah. Sirat Sirat is an Arabic word which means path. Pul-e-Sarat is a bridge over the Hell. All people have to cross it.

Quran confirms "Not one of you but will pass over it. This is an established decree of the Lord. Then we shall save, those who guarded themselves against evil, and we shall leave the wrong- doers therein to their knees." (19:71-72) this world is inferior and of lesser value comparing to the bounties of Jannat. Quran has described the Jannat in 76 verses just to give some idea of the Jannat's blessing. But the actual Jannat is beyond our imagination.

Mulla Hassan Yazdi has described some of the bounties of the Jannat from Quran and ahadith in his famous book Anwar ul Hidayah. They are as follows: 1 - The greatest bliss in the Jannat will be Allah's proximity. 2 - The people in Jannat will get married with 70000 beautiful women and will enjoy their company. 3 - The people in Jannat will get in abundance numerous kinds of foods, drinks, fr uits and tasty things. 4 - The people in Jannat will have full comfor t, security, stability.

There will be no pain and fear of anything. No death and no disease, no pover ty and no distress. 5 - The people in Jannat will live in big castles. These castles will have beautiful big gardens, streams, rivers and many other things which we can not imagine. 6 - The people in Jannat will have many kinds of enter tainment. 7 - The people in Jannat will get anything they will like to have.

8 - The people in Jannat will be allowed to visit the Holy Prophet (sws) and Imams(as) and any other person they would like to meet. 9 - The people in Jannat can invite The Holy Prophet, Imams and billions of other people at a time.
