Or did you know where her dwelling is? You would have made your striving for her upon the eyelids (The dwelling of the Houris and the urging and striving to seek her)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: "If only you knew what you did"
We know, but we do not know the reality, the reality of what is in Paradise is known by no one
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرة أعين
[As-Sajdah 32:17]
, and then, as for our deeds, we ask Allah to treat us with His forgiveness, our deeds are those of one who was ignorant, even in their meaning, we did the deeds of an ignorant person, and for this reason he said:
Then indeed, after that, you are going to die ثم إنكم بعد ذلك لميتون
So he emphasized death with "in" and the lam, although it is clear, and everyone acknowledges it, because the deeds of people are the deeds of one who does not believe in death and one who considers this unlikely, therefore we know what is in Paradise of bliss, but it is as if we are ignorant, we did not work for it, we ask Allah to treat us with His forgiveness and His goodness. He says:
"If only you knew where her dwelling is, you would have made *** your striving for her upon the eyelids"
Allah is the Greatest! Not upon the feet, the striving for the beloved and the sought one is upon the feet, but if you knew where her dwelling is, her dwelling is in the Gardens of Eden, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, Exalted is His Majesty, the greatest dwelling and the highest dwelling, and the sweetest dwelling, if you knew this dwelling, you would have made your striving for her upon the eyelids, the eyelids of the eye which are the softest thing in a human being, but they bear this hardship of striving upon the eyelids, in order to reach this dwelling.
