Paradise: The Ideal World of The Hereafter

English book, p. 11

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

PARADISE: THE IDEAL WORLD OF THE HEREAFTER situated amidst abundant beauty. However, traveling in that area, they also repeatedly faced bitter experiences. This area seemed very beautiful from afar, but one faced many challenges traveling on the roads there. The author explained it thus: ‘Every Paradise has its serpent’. This symbol is based on a story from the Bible. According to this story, a serpent was also present in Paradise, where Adam had been placed. However, this story is not true. There is no ‘serpent’ in the eternal Paradise made by God. However, in all the temporary ‘paradises’ that man seeks to make on his own in this world, ‘serpents’ do exist. No ‘paradise’ made by man is free of ‘serpents’. Difficulties and challenges beset the human world. The eternal Paradise made by God is an ideal abode. There is no sorrow, regret of the past, fear, or apprehension about the future. There are neither disadvantages nor limitations nor any pollution, strife, or violence. It is, in the total sense, an ideal realm.
