Do muslims have a garden of eden? Or something similar? is it the same thing as Jannah?

Muslim believe 7 heaven, the best (highest) is Firdaus (heaven for The Prophets)
one oh heaven called Adden, kind a similar to Eden, but i'm not sure the same one or not. because i haven't been in there
 
The literal translation of 'Jannah' is Garden. Jannat 'Adn (Garden of Eden) is specifically mentioned by name in the Qur'an in two places: Gardens of Everlasting Bliss (At-Tawba:72, Ar-Ra'd:23).

Al-Jannat are also mentioned by other names:

:: Firdaws — The Highest Gardens of the Paradise (al-Kahf:107, Al-Muminun:11)
:: Dār al-maqāmah — The Home (Fatir:35)
:: Dār al-salām — Home of Peace (Yunus:25)
:: Dār al-akhira — The Home in the Hereafter (al-Ankabut:64)
:: al-Jannah — This is the most commonly used term in the Qur'an and Hadith.
:: Jannat al-‘adn — Gardens of Everlasting Bliss (At-Tawba:72, Ar-Ra'd:23)
:: Jannat al-khuld — The Eternal Gardens (Al-Furqan:15)
:: Jannat al-ma’wá — Garden of Abode (An-Najm:15)
:: Jannat al-na‘īm — The Gardens of Delight (Al-Ma'ida:65, Yunus:9, Al-Hajj:56)
:: Maq‘ad al-ṣidq — Assembly of Truth (Al-Qamar:55)
:: al-Maqām al-amīn — The House of Security (Ad-Dukhan:51)

In Islam, Al-Jannat are incomprehensible except from what God has told us and you can find the Quranic description of Paradise in this link:

It is the permanent abode for the believers.
May we all return to Our Lord and abide in the home of the believers, Ameen.
 
If you understand, the Garden of Eden does not come from anywhere but the Quran, where we say Jannah Al-Adn.

And Adn is a word meaning Bliss, the Garden of Bliss.

So obviously the Bible adopted the name "Adn" which they translated into "Eden" meaning "Bliss"
Tsk tsk tsk.
