God and His Creation Plan
22 The Quran says that those who dwell
in Paradise would say that in Paradise
what we got was similar to what we
: )
(
received in the world. Quran 2 25
What does this mean?
e should be a seeker of Paradise in this world and
Wwe should be able to discover Paradise in everything
we have here. We are sitting here – around us is pleasant
weather, green meadows, nice people – a small sample
of Paradise can be seen by us here in this world itself.
When you have this realization in the present world, it
would make you a deserving candidate for Paradise. If
you live in this world with complaints, you will risk your
entry to Paradise. Everything in this world gives you a
glimpse of Paradise. A person must understand that
he has to discover Paradise before he can be settled in
Paradise. Complaining, stooping to negative thinking and
developing hatred are not simple matters. By doing all of
this, you are risking Paradise in the world Hereafter. The
Quran says about those who will find a place in Paradise:
He will admit them into the Garden He has
already made known to them. (Quran 47:6)
If in this world you discover only negativity, then you are
risking Paradise.
