            that Allah places upon them. The servants mentioned above,
            who attend immediately to the believers' every wish and give
            them free and interrupted service, are described in the Qur'an
            as ageless young men:
                Ageless youths will circulate among them, serving
                them. Seeing them, you would think them scat-
                tered pearls. (Surat al-Insan, 19)
                These servants, whose sole purpose is to attend to the
            believers' wishes, and the fact that the blessings are freely of-
            fered with such perfect service, are other examples of glori-
            ous beauty. The gadgets used in this service also have great
            value and are of high quality, for:
                Platters and cups of gold will be passed around
                among them, and they will have there all that
                their hearts desire and in which their eyes find de-
                light. You will remain in it timelessly, forever.
                (Surat az-Zukhruf, 71)
                While in this world, believers attend to many things, among
            them getting as close as possible to the blessings of life in
            Paradise. We can learn about the magnificent material used for
            clothing there. Allah teaches people in this world to wear fine

            clothing, as stated in:
                O Children of Adam! We have sent down clothing
                to you to conceal your private parts, and fine ap-
                parel. But the garment of the fear of Allah – that is
                the best! That is one of Allah's Signs, so that hope-
