in an ultimately ideal form that were available in this world in an imperfect state. According to the Quran, man has been given everything in this world, but only in accordance with his needs (14:34). However, in the Hereafter, all this will be given according to man’s desire. (41:31) Man is an idealist by birth. All men and women are, by their nature, perfectionists. But experience shows that no one in this world can find the ideal. Every man is seeking something unattainable in this world. In other words, man is a Paradise-seeking animal. This Paradise will be available to man only in the Hereafter and only to those who prove themselves deserving of being lodged in Paradise. The present world allows us to prove our eligibility for Paradise, and the Hereafter is the period in which we will be granted Paradise.
