outlook. Therefore, in this world where we are limited
to five senses, we cannot imagine what kind of bless-
ings there may be that may be beyond our ability to
conceive.
With our limitations of sight, thought and imagi-
nation, we are like people in a windowless house who
never come out. Such people are unaware of the beau-

tiful things outside the house – mountains, rivers, trees,
beautiful flowers, animals, clear skies, bright sun-lit
days – and so cannot be aware that they live deprived
of many blessings. In addition, the comparison we
make is based on the good things of this world. The
blessings of this world are extremely lacking when
compared with the blessings of the Garden and a per-
son of faith must avoid the error of interpreting even
the limited things he knows about the Garden from a
narrow viewpoint. Apart from the things our Lord has
revealed about the Garden, a person has no idea of
what surprises have been prepared for the people of the
Garden. Here is one of the verses of the Qur’an that tells
us about this: “They will have there everything they
want and with Us there is still more.” (Surah Qaf: 35)
It is said that our Prophet described the blessings
of the Garden in these words:

Isn’t there anybody hastening to the Garden?
Because in the Garden there are unimaginable
blessings. (Mukhtasar at-Tadhkirah, al-Qurtubi,
pp. 306-307/499)
