Songs of paradise.
The different types of pleasures of this world are nothing when compared to
the bliss and pleasures of the hereafter. There it will be in it's true and
pure form. Songs in sweet and pleasant voice will be heard in paradise. If the
voice of these songs are heard by the people of this world, they would perish.
Prophet Dawood (A.S.) had been blessed with a pleasant voice in the world. It's
effect was such that when He sat to recite the zaboor', animals and beasts
gathered around Him and entered into a trance. When people heard it, they fell
unconscious while some even died.
Imam Ali (A.S.) in one of His sermons in Nahjul Balagha' says while describing
the state of Prophets in paradise that : In paradise prophet Dawood will
entertain it's inhabitants with His pleasant voice, and will be a recitor of
paradise.
It is clear that Prophet Dawood will entertain the dwellers of paradise with
good songs, and the prophet therein will have the strength to bear it. In
"Majma'ul Bayaan" it is related from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) that the best
song from amongst the songs of Paradise will be the one which the houries' will
sing for their husbands (the believers), it will be such that no man or jinni
will ever have heard it.
But these songs will be free of music. It is also related that the birds of
Paradise will sing songs.
Imam Ja'far-as-Sadiq (A.S.) was once asked as to whether there would be music
and melody in Paradise, to which He replied, "In Paradise there is a tree, by
the command of Allah when the breeze will shake it a sound will emanate from
it, such that no man has ever heard such a pleasant and melodous tune. This
blessings will be for the one who in the world kept away from (vain) music and
songs because of fear of Allah"
