Conversations In Paradise 75

This verse continues:

It will be proclaimed to them: "This is your
Garden, which you have inherited for what you
did." (Surat al-A'raf, 43)
In another verse, the believers' thanksgiving in Paradise is
described as:
Their call there is: "Glory be to You, O Allah!"
Their greeting there is: "Peace!" The end of their
call is: "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the
worlds!" (Surah Yunus, 10)
Another verse says:

They will say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has re-
moved 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 affects us." (Surah
Fatir, 34-35)

The conversation between believers in Paradise is related
as follows:
They will turn to one another, asking each other
[about their past lives]. One of them will say: "I
used to have a friend who would say to me: 'Are
you one of those who say that it is true, that after
we have died and are turned to dust and bones, we
will face a Reckoning?'"

[And] he will add: "Would you like to look [and
see him]?"
