Shaping the Souls for Eternal Paradise
English book, p. 50
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Every day, the darkness of night is dispelled by the spreading light of the sun. So, likewise, the darkness of life will get over one day, oppression will end, the arrogant and the defiant shall have to bow down, and those who remain on the path of the Truth will be rewarded. All this will happen in its fullness, but it will happen after death, in the Hereafter, and not before it. THE CREATION PLAN OF GOD This life is a journey to Paradise, not Paradise itself. We should make ourselves deserving of Paradise by developing a divine personality within us in this world. For seekers of truth, a reason-based understanding of the creation plan of God is the only solution. God, according to His will, created a perfect world called Paradise. A world as per all of our desires as human beings in that it is free of all limitations and disadvantages, free of fear and pain, and free of all imperfections. An eternal world where there is no death or old age. An ideal world where we can achieve complete fulfillment. As a less-than-perfect being cannot inhabit a perfect Paradise; so, God has created a perfection-seeking being— man. God intended that man must spend a period of trial in this present and imperfect world; and after this, according to man’s deeds, he can earn the right to inhabit the perfect and eternal world of Paradise, or live in eternal deprivation.
