Origins of the word Ferdows (paradise) The Achaemenid Dynasty built over the entire Persian Empire, especially in Asia Minor, pairi-daēzas, or paradises, which consisted of extensive Gardens and Parks. According to Oxford English Dictionary, as well as Dehkhoda, Xenophon was the first to use the word paradeisos in the meaning of enclosed park, orchard, or pleasure ground. Dehkhoda writes that the Hebrew word pārdēs entered into this language in the 5th century BC, following the arrival of Jews in Babel, Babylonia. In the sections of the Old Testament that predate this arrival, the notions of Heaven and Hell are not specific; only later has pārdēs, originally meaning garden and orchard, been endowed with the spiritual meaning that is signified by this word (as well as paradise) in later times, up to the present date. Dehkhoda notes that pārdēs has been used synonymously as the Hebrew word gān in the meaning of Garden of Eden. He continues that the word Ferdows, that has been used twice in Quran, has its root in Judaism and Christianity and that the Islamic scholars are generally united in considering that the word Ferdows has been used in Quran in the meaning of garden and orchard; there is, however, no consensus amongst these scholars as to the nature of this place.
