On the Threshold of Paradise
English book, p. 170
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
From the scientific and academic standpoint, the facts mentioned above make the ideal age of the future—the “spiritual civilisation”—understandable in terms of being a super-industrial age. This fourth phase of civilisation is yet to be completed, but in this phase, that ideal world—in religious terms, Paradise—will most probably take shape in the world Hereafter. Paradise: Final Phase of Man’s Journey Paradise is the final period of the journey of civilisation. By the law of Nature, such a world will exist in due course. All limitations and disadvantages will end: there will be no fear or grief, nor will there be any noise or pain. All those potentialities which have been apparent to a man from the very first day will be fulfilled in the world of Paradise. Moreover, the human personality will also attain new heights of development. It will be the culmination point for man: he will become the perfect man. He will find an eternal life in which old age, accidents, disease, and death are absent. This will be the ideal world where a man can utilise the full potential of his personality, thus experiencing complete fulfilment. Paradise will be the culminating point of the evolutionary process of human civilisation. Paradise will be the dawning of the perfect and ideal world man has always dreamt of. On reaching Paradise, man will be eternally free from all
