The next great event which will be discussed in this blog series is when muslims reach and drink from the celestial pool granted to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, by Allah, the Exalted, on Judgment Day. There are many Hadiths which discuss the celestial pool such as the one found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6579, which advises that it takes a month to cross its entire length, its smell is nicer than perfume, its water is whiter than milk and the one who drinks from it once will never feel thirsty again. The last point is extremely important as on Judgment Day people will experience an extreme and unimaginable thirst. For example, the Sun will be brought within two miles of the creation which will cause people to sweat excessively. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2421.
There is no doubt that every muslim desires to drink from this pool irrespective of the strength of their faith. But it is important to note, that a muslim should strive to make themselves worthy of drinking from it instead of simply hoping to achieve this. This is achieved by fulfilling the commands of Allah, the Exalted, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience according to the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
In addition, muslims must avoid disobedience to Allah, the Exalted, especially those things which prevent one from reaching the celestial pool. For example, a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 5996, warns that some muslims who innovated evil things in Islam will be detained and prevented from reaching the celestial pool. Another Hadith found in Sunan An Nasai, number 4212, warns that those who support and believe the lies and wrong actions of the unjust rulers will not reach the celestial pool. So it is important for muslims who desire to reach and drink from the celestial pool to avoid disobedience to Allah, the Exalted, and strive in obedience to Him.
