A question regarding the pleasure of sleep in this worldly life and the wisdom behind the fact that the people of Paradise do not sleep in Paradise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Death. Sleep is the brother of death. Therefore, since there is no death in Paradise, there is no sleep. Also, sleep in this world is something we are compelled to do because it removes previous fatigue and renews energy for what follows, providing relief from prior work and renewing energy for subsequent work. As for the Hereafter, the matter is not so.
The questioner : Shaykh, if there is... sleep of enjoyment
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : If it is another name, sleep of enjoyment
The Shaykh : There is no enjoyment except in this world. There is no sleep of enjoyment except in this world, because the body becomes tired and takes pleasure in sleep, just as one who is hungry takes pleasure in eating and drinking. Yes.
