Wanting to be a doctor is a desire of this dunya. Why do people want to be doctors? Some for the status, some for the money, and some merely for the satisfaction of helping others. These things aren't needed in jannah. Same with detective. However, Allah hasn't clearly answered in regard to these things in the Quran, so it isn't black and white or cut and dry a "NO." if Allah can create the world and all that is in it, without any fatigue, do you think it would be difficult for Him to make you your own "dummy" if you will, type of people for you to be a doctor to? Anything is possible with Allah as long as you believe in Him, and if you truly want something, it will happen. I have prayed to Allah for things in this dunya, and He has granted them to me. Sometimes he closes one door but he opens another one so don't lose hope. I know u understand that some Of ur examples apply to this dunya but get a load of this. I read a hadith about a man who will go to jamnah and will be asked if he wants anything, and he says he wants o cultivate land. This man was a farmer in this world. Now, if u think of it, what need is there dor that in jannah when all the fruits and food arw readily available while people relax? Well, it was something he liked in this world and Allah didnt question it or say it was a stupid wish. He granted him his wish and all the wheat (or whatever he planted, I don't remember) grew to enormous heights. Allah asked him if he was happy and he said he was. Therefore, I believe that while jannah is different and thse things arent needed there, we still will be the same person deep down and will get what we want inshallah. I hope that helps. Sorry for the informal writing and grammatical errors, my fingers are swollen for some reason. Lol. Good point, Amira. Wanting to be a doctor is a desire of this dunya.

No exceptions" Correct me I'm wrong, but I don't think that's entirely true. As I've said before, I always wanted to be a FBI agent/ homicide detective or something of the like. I highly doubt Allah is going to recreate a murder scene in Jannah or the murderer and everything that comes with. Or if like if someone always wanted to be a doctor, how are they gonna do that? There aren't any sick people in Jannah. And what if a woman wants more than one husband? “you get what you want. No exceptions”

I too focus on those aspects about jannah that encourage me to do good things, like meeting family, friends, having good company and surroundings, building gadgets (i'm an engineer), exploring etc. In jannah I'd love to have loads of pets as well like siberian huskies (no najas saliva there)! and of course seeing Allah subhana wa ta aalas face will be the ultimate blessing! ^^ yeah!

That world is different. For instance, in this world, I start as a baby and grow into a toddler, then an adolescent, then an adult. Finally, I become a parent (if Allah wills it), and then my child goes through the stages I went through. My point is, I am the older one. I guide my child and finally I age so that my child is the one who plays the parental role. In jannah, everyone is the same age. My mom, dad, and I will all be the same age inshallah. This is lengthier than it should have been, but basically all I am saying is that this dunya and jannah differ drastically. There are rules here that we MUST obey for the benefit of humankind, but Jnnah is a reward. You get what you want, no exceptions! Personally, I want to see Allah s.w.t.'s Face. It would be amazing if I could speak to my Creator. That is my first wish. My second wish is to be able to see my family members, and I definitely want my pet canaries!! It would be cool if I could talk to my pets! It sounds stupid, but I do wonder how they feel in a cage all the time. My last wish is for Allah to create for me a companion that I can do everything with! Walk through gardens, fly on clouds! Hey, we can have what we want! How awesome is that?

This applies for other issues as well. Don't brood over things you can't figure out (like Islamic questions which many scholars will explain differently), and don't worry about other things in this life which you cannot control. I just see which explanation fmakes the most sense. If none of them do, leave it to Allah and know that nothing is forced in jannah. There are rules set by the Quran but that is for THIS world to ensure that our lives pass by with integrity and harmony, not chaos. Jannah isn't the same world so we don't need all these Good point, Randomguy! This applies for other issues as well.
