Jannah is the Islamic name for paradise. According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yaum al-Qiyamah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven.

Muslims believe that it is only God's will that determines who may enter Jannah and who may not.

In contrast to Jannah, the words Jahannam and Nar are used to refer to the concept of hell.
