In Islam, what is the highest level of Jannah, the Islamic paradise?

In Islam, Jannat al-Firdaws is traditionally identified as the highest level of Jannah, or paradise. The name appears in hadith literature, including a report that describes al-Firdaws as the highest and most central part of paradise.

Jannah is portrayed in the Quran and Islamic tradition as a place of reward for the faithful. Descriptions include gardens, flowing rivers, peace, and nearness to God. Islamic sources use several names and descriptions for paradise, so translations and classifications can differ in detail.

Jannah is distinct from Jahannam, the Islamic term commonly translated as Hell. Al-Barzakh is also different: it refers to an intermediate state or barrier associated with the period between death and resurrection. The exact arrangement of paradise’s levels is discussed through Quranic passages and hadith rather than a single universally diagrammed map.
