Allah's Promise

To those who will come into His Presence as believers, Allah gives the
promise of Paradise, wherein they will remain forever. As there is no
doubt that this promise will be fulfilled, those whobelieve with
certainty will never doubt its truth. Moreover, if they have
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 theAll-Merciful has promised to His servants in
the Unseen. His promise is 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 to punishment?
(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 toAllah 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 whomAllah has promised Paradise, 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
throughout their lives, prayed to attain, and striven to be worthy of
is Paradise -"the best place to be," and"the most beauteous of
allgoals." This perfect place was prepared for believers, and its
doors areopened to them.
The following verse gives a unique view about their entrance 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
them from 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 prepared for believers and
endowedwith every kind of blessing.
