On the Threshold of Paradise

PARADISE: THE DESTINATION OF MAN sorrows and hardships. Paradise will be the perfect realm of joy, peace, and eternal happiness. It should be borne in mind that Paradise is not a place of stagnation. In Paradise, man will make discoveries, and this series of findings will be unending. For this reason, there will be no boredom in Paradise because boredom prevails only where discoveries do not occur. To man, fresh experience is the most significant source of happiness, and in Paradise, the doors of eternal Truth will continue to open every day. Therefore, the pure bliss of Paradise will not be fleeting but genuinely eternal. Paradise is just as possible as the making of the Earth and the development of different civilisations. In the ancient Stone Age, a developed agricultural period lay hidden, which emerged later. Similarly, the far more developed industrial period was hidden in the agrarian period and appeared at the proper time. So we can say that there lies hidden in this industrial period, a far more developed, refined, and spiritual period, which will appear in time for all to see. In practical terms, the emergence of this spiritual or heavenly period is as possible as that of previous periods of history. In the industrial period, the Earth has once again been beautified. Its construction has been meticulously planned. Developments in science and technology have made the world a far better place to live in. Similarly, with the dawn of the final period, the spiritual age, the Earth will improve, becoming an ideal world. There are several verses in the Quran that give clear indications of this.
