PEOPLE OF PARADISE

 PEOPLE OF PARADISE

Those who live by the Book of God receive God's special favours in this world, and are promised heaven in the next world. But they will not be granted them solely on the basis of their own actions. People of the Book tend to forget this difference: they take it for granted that, whether they follow God's commandments or not, God's promise unto them will be fulfilled, and they will surely enter the kingdom of heaven.

True religious spirit makes one realistic, as long as the followers of revealed religions possess this spirit they will realize that God is just, and will reward people according to their actions alone.

On the other hand, when people lose the true religious spirit, they take to wishful thinking. Real actions give way to false hopes. They think that they will be admitted into paradise because they belong to a certain community, whether they do good deeds or not.

Success in the hereafter is for those who conform to divine justice on earth; who live according to the will of God; who fear hell before confronting it, and long for heaven before seeing it.


ETERNAL BLISS

ETERNAL BLISS

God's acceptance of righteous actions is marked by wonderous sensations which introduce one to the heaven which has been promised God's true servants in the life to come. Thus believers discover the fragrance of the garden of paradise in this world. They hold such sensations dearer than all worldly pleasures.

When one gives true charity to a needy person and finds the rewards with God: when the recitation of the Koran brings tears into one's yes: when one experiences moments of anguish which make one feel close to God; when one's voice trembles and one's heart throbs as one utters the prayers which God has put into one's heart; then one is partaking of the provision of the Lord in spiritual form. One is tasting of the fruits of paradise which God has kept in store for his righteous servants.

The thrills of true faith are the form which the fruits of paradise take in this world. In eternity they will take the form of the everlasting blessings of heaven.

If one is not close to God in this world, then how can one hope to be close to Him in the next world? If one does not derive joy from one's worship in this world, then how can one hope to be rewarded with eternal bliss in the hereafter?
