Two Categories Of Paradise

TWO CATEGORIES OF PARADISE The Quran has this to say about people who have attained God-realization: “those who believe love God most.” (2:165) These realised souls have discovered God as the most superior Being, and acknowledge Him as such in the innermost recesses of their hearts and minds. They have truly dedicated themselves to God and God has become their supreme concern.Their thinking has become God-oriented in the full sense. Those who develop this kind of relationship with God begin to live in the presence of God, that is, they begin to live in the vicinity of God in this world itself, apprehending such proximity at a psychological level. In the hereafter they will have the same experience but as a material reality. If they have been experiencing closeness to God in the life of this world itself, in the hereafter they will be blessed with a far greater degree of closeness to Him.
