Organization Name:

The name "Gardens of Jannah" is inspired from a saying of God's last messenger, Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him).

While in a gathering with his companions, Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) said: "When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, take from them." The Companions asked: "What are the gardens of Paradise, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "The circles of dhikr. There are roaming angels of Allah who go about looking for the circles of dhikr, and when they find them they surround them closely" (Source: Ahmad and Tirmidhi).

The word dhikr means remembrance of Allah. The circles of dhikr are when people gather together to talk about Allah, His religion and all things He loves. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) referred to such gatherings as “Gardens of Paradise” and encouraged us to attend and benefit from them. Hence, we have chosen to name this organization “Gardens of Jannah” (Jannah meaning Paradise).
