money, wealth, opulence? What if you were told about a place where you
could get everything you wanted and keep it forever? What would you
say? Of course you would be very excited and want tosee this perfect
place right away. Surely no one would ever object to living in such a
wonderful place.
Now just think. Has anyone ever talked to you about a place filled
with a countless array ofblessings, where beauty is spread out at your
feet? Surely someone must have done so, telling you and all other
people about the existence of a life - the life of Paradise - where
everything that you want will be prepared for you. Everyone knowsthat
after death there is an endless Paradise. Everyone judged worthyto
enter it will find everything they desire there; they will receive
their rewards and blessings, and live in a perfect place surrounded by
beauty forever. To those faithfulservants who pass the test of this
earthly life, Allah has promised an unprecedented land. Thelimited
time one spends in this world, on the other hand, is an opportunity to
attain these beauties.
So what keeps people from being overcome with joy at the good news of
Paradise? What stops them from longingfor it, from expending every
effort to attain it? Why do people, knowing that they will receive
these blessings as a divine reward, not prepare for Paradise? Surely
the most important reason is that some people do not have an assured
faith that it exists; others are not convinced. There may be other
reasons why people do not believe in or have doubts about it. But the
basic thing that we mustconsider is that this doubt sometimes arises
from a lack of knowledge.
The only remedy for this lack of knowledge is the Qur'an.
In the Qur'an, Allah describes a wonderful life of perfect and endless
beauty in Paradise. Someone who does not know this beauty's extent or
how the Qur'an describes it may have difficulty envisioning Paradise
and the kind of life there.
This book tells people about Paradise, which Allah offers to them,
describes its great blessings, and proclaims its beauties to everyone.
It informs people that Paradise is one of two ways of life prepared
forthem in the afterworld, and that every good thing will be theirs in
Paradise to a degree that surpasses our present ability to imagine. It
also shows that Paradise, is a place where all blessings have been
created perfectly and where people will be offered everything their
souls and hearts will desire; that people will be far removed fromwant
and need, anxiety or sadness, sorrow and regret. Every kind of beauty
and blessing exists in Paradise and will be revealed with a perfection
never seen orknown before. Allah has prepared such blessings there as
a gift, and thesewill be offered only to people with whom He is
pleased.
This book describes everything about Paradise in the light of the
Qur'an's verses. So, as you read this information and try to envision
that blessed place, remember that the Qur'an is the truth. Based on
this information, consider the perfection of the real land that is
waiting for you, and make every effort to be worthy of it. Be aware
that Allah will give you all of these things by His grace, and that
they can be yours forever. Given all of this, if you still cannot
decide in favor of eternal beauty, remember that the only choice left
is Hell, a place full of anguish from where youwill observe the
comfort of those in Paradise and experience eternal anxiety, sadness,
misery, and sorrow.
