Paradise: Man’s Destination
English book, p. 108
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Now, who are those people who will qualify for Paradise? These are the ones who, using their intellectual capacities, attain the realization of God. Coming out of intellectual confusion, they discover the truth. They devote themselves to God alone and worship none but Him. Despite possessing freedom, they let themselves willingly be regulated by divine discipline. Faced with adverse conditions, they build in themselves a positive personality. They deal with others in the same ethical way they want others to deal with them. All these qualities are the criteria set according to God’s creation plan for an individual to be eligible for being settled in eternal Paradise after death. Those who fail to meet this standard will face eternal deprivation and frustration. It is said that an opportunity knocks on your door only once. This saying is also perfectly true concerning the issue of lasting success because no one will get this opportunity again. Therefore, those who lead their life on Earth the right way will have won lasting success by finding entry into Paradise—man’s destination, while those who live their lives in this world in the wrong way, will live in eternal frustration and failure in the Hereafter.
