promise of Paradise, wherein they will remain forever. As there is no
doubt that this promise will be fulfilled, those who believe with
certainty will never doubtits truth. Moreover, if theyhave surrendered
their souls to Him as believers, they know that their sins will be
forgiven and that they will be accepted into Paradise. The following
verse makes this clear:
Gardens of Eden which the All-Merciful has promised to His servants in
the Unseen. His promiseis always kept. (Surah Maryam, 61)
The fact that Allah has promised Paradise to believers brings them an
indescribable joy and enthusiasm. They know that Allah wills Paradise
for His faithful servants, and that He has made them its heirs. Here
is another verse that mentions this promise:
Is someone to whom We have promised good and who then obtains it like
someone to whom We have given enjoyment in the life of the world and
then, on the Day of Rising,is one of those brought topunishment?
(Surat al-Qasas, 61)
If Allah has promised Paradise to any individuals, they will attain
eternal blessings with Allah's permission. And when believers enter
Paradise, they will certainly express their thanks to Allah in this
way:
They will say: "Praise be to Allah Who has fulfilled His promise to us
and made us the inheritors of this land, letting us settle in Paradise
wherever we want. How excellent is thewage of those who work." (Surat
az-Zumar, 74)
Believers who have been given the good news several times during their
earthly lives, and to whom Allah has promisedParadise, will receive at
the end of their lives that for which they hoped. Finally, that
long-awaited moment will come. The place that they have contemplated
throughouttheir lives, prayed to attain, and striven to be worthy of
is Paradise -"the best place to be," and"the most beauteous of all
goals." This perfect place was prepared for believers, and its doors
are opened to them.
The following verse gives a unique view about theirentrance into Paradise:
Gardens of Eden that they will enter, and all of their parents, wives,
and children who have acted honorably. Angels will enter in to welcome
themfrom every gate: "Peace be upon you because of your steadfastness!
How wonderful is the Ultimate Abode!" (Surat ar-Ra'd, 23-24)
They will be welcomed into Paradise "with greetings and [words of]
peace" (Surat al-Furqan, 75), and enter there "in peace, in complete
security!" (Surat al-Hijr, 46). There is only one thing left to do: to
discover the beauties of this eternal land preparedfor believers and
endowed with every kind of blessing.
