            This is also described in another verse:

                O self at rest and at peace, return to your Lord,
                well-pleasing and well-pleased! Enter among My
                servants! Enter My Paradise. (Surat al-Fajr, 27-30)
                By then, Allah has forgiven the sins of those servants upon
            whom He has mercy, transformed their wrong actions into
            good, and given them permission to enter Paradise. These ser-
            vants say:
                ..."If my people only knew how my Lord has for-
                given me and placed me among the honored
                ones!" (Surah Ya sin, 26-27)
                In another verse, Allah announces this good news to the
            people of Paradise:

                This is the Day when the sincerity of the sincere
                will benefit them. They will have Gardens with
                rivers flowing under them, remaining in them
                timelessly, for ever and ever. (Surat al-Ma'ida,
                119)
                My servants, you will feel no fear today; you will
                know no sorrow. (Surat az-Zukhruf, 68)
