Master of Majesty and Generosity
Blessed be the name of your Lord, Master of Majesty and
Generosity. (Surat ar-Rahman, 55:78)
People enjoy countless blessings, for Allah has adorned this
world with many details that are pleasing to His servants. However,
Allah will show His infinite generosity in Paradise.
One of the most telling attributes of the Paradise is that believers
will have all that their hearts desire, without any limit. There will be
gardens with rivers flowing underneath and cool, refreshing shade.
By the grace of Allah, devout believers will be amid shaded gardens
with spreading branched, flowing springs, and whatever kind of fruit
and meat they desire. In addition, they will have high-ceilinged halls
with rivers flowing underneath, where they will recline on couches
ranged in rows and take pleasure from the surrounding beauty.
Circulating among them will be youths like hidden pearls, passing
among them vessels of silver and goblets of pure crystal. Meanwhile,
“... they will be adorned with gold bracelets and pearls, and where
their clothing will be of silk.” (Surat al-Hajj, 22:23)
No doubt, the Qur’an’s descriptions of Paradise are far more
elaborate than what we could convey above. The verses below give a
detailed description of Allah’s infinite generosity in Paradise:
… they will have there all that their hearts desire and their
eyes find delight in. You will remain in it timelessly, forever.
(Surat az-Zukhruf, 43:71)
Seeing them, you see delight and a great kingdom. (Surat al-
Insan, 76:20)
