them… (Surat al-Ma’ida, 119)
Countless gifts are awaiting the believers in Paradise, for:
They will enter Gardens of Eden in which they will be adorned
with gold bracelets and pearls, and where their clothing will be of
silk. They will say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has removed all sad-
ness 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, 33-35)
The blessings of Paradise are indescribable. As the verses reveal, in
Paradise our five senses will experience the greatest pleasures and joys. But
the greatest gift of all in Paradise is Allah’s good pleasure. Real happiness is
the peace and happiness of having won Allah’s good pleasure, of being
pleased with everything that He has given, and of being grateful for it all.
Allah says of the people in Paradise:
… Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That
is the Great Victory. (Surat al-Ma’ida, 119)
