PARADISE
Question:

What is paradise?

Answer:

Paradise is a place which God Almighty has prepared for the believers who perform righteous deeds and which man enters after his soul returns to the body he had in this life.  In paradise there is every kind of pleasure: gardens and mansions and pure breezes, vitality, chaste wives, delectable foods and delicious beverages.

If man enters paradise he shall remain there forever and there does not exist in it anything that troubles mankind in this life like poverty, disease, fatigue, jealousy, tribulations, oppression,  incapacity, hunger, nudity, thirst, distress, enmity and animosity. The inhabitants of paradise shall remain young forever, in a state of bliss and happiness.

Paradise is extensive and vast, so much so that every man is given a palace bigger than the whole world. He will be put in charge of companies of angels, but greater than all those blessings is that God will be pleased with him: “and best of all is God's goodly pleasure”[9:72].

In this way, it is incumbent upon man throughout his life to strive for that place and that he should only get from this world what suffices him, and on no account should he perform impious deeds or disobey God, so that he does not lose that eternal and everlasting recompense.
