Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... the great blessings in Paradise ... is the visit of the Lord of the Worlds, and this visit is as they request it continuously, meaning their supplication is answered.
The Shaykh : Yes, a good question.
The student: What is here?
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: We did not understand the question.
The Shaykh : He says, if they take pleasure in this visit, why do they not ask for its continuation? We say, if it continued, it would not have this longing. If it continued, it would not have this longing, is that not so? Yes.
The questioner : How, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I say, if it continued, it would not have this longing; it would become customary.
The student: Yes, even if it became customary, but ...
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not certain. If there is an appointment, they long for it and look forward to it, and then when it happens, it becomes sweeter. Try this with something you are promised and something that is constant with you.
The student: This is true, O Shaykh, in this world.
The Shaykh : No, the nature is approximately the same. Everyone knows that the completion of pleasure, longing, and enjoyment is that the matter comes at intervals. Yes.
The reader: "And the Jannah destroyed it and destroyed its people *** Woe to that ignorant, seducer"
The Shaykh : And for this reason, Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned in the same poem that it is Allah who says to them This indicates that if the matter were up to them, they would have remained had we not turned them away. Yes.
