CONVERSATIONS IN PARADISE














                They will say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has removed all
               sadness from us. Truly our Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Ever-
               Thankful: He Who has lodged us, out of His favor, in the
              Abode of Permanence, where no weariness or fatigue af-
                                        fects us." (Surah Fatir, 34-35)


               The Qur'an contains detailed accounts of conversations
            among believers, to whom Allah has given an exalted position
            in Paradise. These conversations are important, because they
            provide a good example for believers in this life. The verses:
