Chapter on What Allah the Exalted Has Prepared for the Believers in Paradise: Allah the Exalted said
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then the author concluded his book—may Allah have mercy on him—by mentioning what Allah has prepared for the people of Paradise of abiding bliss—may Allah make me and you among them, and we hope this is a good optimism, and that Allah will conclude for us and for you with Paradise, and we hope that Allah the Exalted will make this a conclusion for the author of the book, may Allah have mercy on him and forgive him, by the deeds of the people of Paradise.
Allah the Exalted mentioned in His great Book many verses explaining what Allah has prepared for them, the people of Paradise. And the most comprehensive of the verses is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Fussilat 41:31-32]: Whatever a person desires of bliss, it is in Paradise; whatever he seeks, it is in Paradise; indeed, more than that: Allah the Exalted said: [Qaf 50:35].
And He, Glorious is His mention, said:[As-Sajdah 32:17]: meaning that it is not possible for a person to fully comprehend the reality of what Allah has prepared for the people of Paradise therein, because it is beyond what a person can imagine. The bliss that exists in this world is a model, a model, a model that is not comparable to any of the bliss of the Hereafter. But Allah the Exalted showed His servants some of the bliss and some of the punishment in this world so that they may take heed from it only; otherwise, between the bliss of this world and the bliss of the Hereafter, there is a difference that cannot be grasped or felt.
And we will speak, if Allah wills, about the verses, verse by verse, in upcoming lessons. And Allah is the One who grants success.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
He said—may Allah have mercy on him:

And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish] (32) As accommodation from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful."
ولكم فيها ما تشتهي أنفسكم ولكم فيها ما تدَّعون * نزلاً من غفور رحيمThey will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more.
لهم ما يشاءون فيها ولدينا مزيدAnd He, Glorious is His mention, said:
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.
فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرة أعين جزاء بما كانوا يعملونAnd we will speak, if Allah wills, about the verses, verse by verse, in upcoming lessons. And Allah is the One who grants success.
