Discovery of Man

to enjoy pleasure. For man, everything can potentially be a source of pleasure. God has created man with unique abilities. God has also made a beautiful world, Paradise. Paradise is a perfect world where every form of pleasure is present in its ideal form. Man and Paradise are counterparts of each other, as it were. Man is for Paradise, and Paradise is for man. Paradise is that place where man will acquire complete fulfilment. Paradise is thus a place where human nature finds its perfection. Without Paradise, man is meaningless; without man, Paradise is also meaningless. Without Paradise, man’s life is incomplete; without man, Paradise is also incomplete. Man is a potential inhabitant of this Paradise, but no one will obtain Paradise as a birthright or as a result of being a member of a particular social group. The condition for entry into Paradise is that man should prove eligible for it, based on the qualities he develops in himself while living in this world of test. God has made the present world for this purpose. It serves as a selection ground. The conditions of this world have been made so that everything is an examination paper for man. Here, at every moment, man is being tested. God is preparing a record of every person’s word and deed here. Based on this record, on the Day of Judgement, it will be decided who will be eligible to be settled in Paradise and who will not.
