To Those In Paradise Who Desire To See It, God Can Show The

Past Just As It Happened

If a servant of God in Paradise wishes, God can show
him things from the earthly life just as they happened.
(Surely God knows best) For example, if a person in
Paradise asks God to let him see his dead dog
alive again, his burned house before it was de-

stroyed, or the Titanic before it sank, God
can show it all to him even more vivid that it
was before. For example, as the Titanic

makes its way on the sea, the fish surrounding it
will all be in the same place as at that moment and the
passengers will be discussing the same things using the same words. Or ancient great civilizations can be
seen in the high point of their splendor and wealth. A person who is curious about the Inca civilization
can see any period of this civilization whenever he wishes. Because every event continues to be lived

eternally with the same vividness in God's memory, the person who wants to see an event will find
everything present the same as it was.
In one verse, God reveals that in Paradise people will have everything they desire:

... You will have there all that your selves could wish for. You will have there everything you demand.
(Surah Fussilat: 31)
If those in Paradise wish it, God will show them every worldly image and occurrence that will give

them sorrow but will make them happy and joyous. This is a great blessing that God has prepared for His
worthy servants in Paradise.

The Importance Of This Matter For Human Beings

This matter is of great importance for human beings because everything that happens to us in a day,
even things we have forgotten by the time evening comes, the way we act, our attitudes and every

thought that crosses our minds are unforgotten and kept in God's sight.
For example, a person gossiping with his friend forgets this; it is not important to him. But that mo-
ment when he gossiped remains forever in God's sight. Or if a person has a negative thought about
Muslims, that thought, the moment he thought it, the expression on his face and the sentences he used all

remain forever in God's sight. Or the self-sacrifice with which a person feeds his friend although he him-
self is hungry will remain eternally in God's sight together with the circumstances of that moment, and
the attitude and the thoughts that were expressed. Or a person who remains patient in a difficulty for
God's sake and speaks kind words to the one who is troubling him will not have his fine moral behavior

lost, but kept for eternity. And on the Day of Judgment, God will question all the good and evil deeds
that a person has committed; those things which people have done but forgotten will confront them un-
forgotten and unchanged. Some people will even be surprised that the book they are given in the course
of the reckoning is so detailed and they will say,

The Book will be set in place and you will see the evildoers fearful of what is in it. They will say, "Alas for
us! What is this Book which does not pass over any action, small or great, without recording it?" They will

find there everything they did and your Lord will not wrong anyone at all. (Surat al-Kahf: 49)
For this reason, a person aware of this reality must never forget that his every act and thought are
locked for ever in God's memory and will continue to exist there; he must take care and fear the Day of
Judgment.
