The Story of Jannat
Jannat (also Jannah) comes from the Arabic root 'j-n-n' meaning to cover or conceal, from which also comes 'garden.' In Islamic theology, Jannah is the paradise promised to the faithful—described in the Quran as gardens beneath which rivers flow. The word evokes lush gardens, flowing waters, and eternal peace. Naming a daughter Jannat expresses the hope that she will be as beautiful and precious as paradise itself.
