No, according to Islamic teachings, Allah does not reside in Jannah (paradise).
While paradise is the eternal dwelling place for righteous believers, it is not the place where Allah resides. Instead, Allah is considered to be transcendent, existing beyond the limitations of physical locations, including Jannah.
Here is a breakdown:
- Allah's Transcendence: Islamic theology emphasizes that Allah is unlike anything in creation. He is not bound by space or time. Therefore, saying that Allah "lives" in a particular place like Jannah would be anthropomorphizing Him, which is not consistent with Islamic belief.
- Jannah as a Creation: Jannah is a creation of Allah, a place of reward and bliss. As the creator, Allah is separate from His creation.
- Christian Perspective The provided reference also mentions that, in Christianity, God does not reside in heaven currently but will dwell with humans in the new heavens and the new earth. This contrast further highlights the distinct understanding of divine presence in Islam.
- In Islam, Allah is not confined to a specific location.
| Concept | Islamic Perspective |
|---|---|
| Allah's Location | Transcendent, beyond physical locations |
| Jannah | A created place of reward for believers |
| God’s presence | Not location specific, present in all places |
Therefore, to reiterate, Allah does not live in Jannah, as He is beyond the limitations of physical existence.
