Reflections on Life and Death

Towards the Most Noble Companion that they are right, they are fond of admitting their own mistakes. Paradise is a place that has real existence. You can enter Paradise if you possess the right qualities and have led the right sort of life while on earth. Only those people who have developed in them the divine qualities will be settled in Paradise. Entry into Paradise is not on the basis of any mysterious factors. Rather, it is only possible if during your life in this world you were able to cultivate a personality based on divine attributes. Paradise is a land of the true, of people who have lived in and by the truth. In this world, these people are being selected for entry into Paradise after they die. Those who prove themselves to be true alone will be considered eligible for being settled in that eternal world. Towards the Most Noble Companion T he Quran (66:11) says that when the king of ancient Egypt issued an order to kill his wife, Asiya, who was a believer, she prayed to God thus: My Lord, build me a house in nearness to You in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his misdeeds. Save me from all evildoers.
