Shaping the Souls for Eternal Paradise
English book, p. 149
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
PARADISE: THE DESTINATION OF MAN between himself and the Creator. He should recognise that engaging in action is man’s domain while producing its results is the Creator’s domain. In line with this, the period before man’s death is, for him, the period for action, while the period after death is the period of obtaining the result of his actions from God. If man acknowledges this reality, he will simultaneously obtain two benefits. Firstly, his tension will get over forever. Tension is the name of the difference between action and its result. When this difference is eliminated, tension is automatically relieved. The second benefit of this would be that man would find a definite guarantee that if he leads a genuinely righteous life, after death, he will receive the desired result of his action in that he will become the owner of an ever-verdant garden of joy—eternal Paradise. INTRODUCING PARADISE To enter Paradise in the Hereafter, man in his life before death must realise his Creator while He is in the unseen, submit to Him, and develop a Paradisiacal personality in himself. On a trip to Switzerland, I had a chance to experience a unique ride on a yacht that had two floors. The yacht moved gently on the lake’s waters, the pace suitable for people to view the beautiful scenery. I took this opportunity to prepare some portions of my travelogue.
