THE MAIN BOUNTIES OF PARADISE (VERSE NO. 45 - 50)

      In the previous verse, Allah has explained the consequences of Satanic Temptation, and the fate of Satan's followers, and how the seven doors of the Hell shall be opened to them.

      Now to observe the principles of comparison and contrast which are main factors in training and purifying; the argument goes to PARADISE and the gardens of bliss which can be entered in through eight different gates.

      First of all stress is put on piety and virtue if one is willing to enter the promised abode of bliss qualified by peace and security.

      Then mention is made of other bounties in Paradise. These are more or less spiritual; that Allah will remove all the rancours and malignity from the hearts of the inhabitants of Paradise, (NO.47) making them real and truthful brothers. There in Paradise, no discomfort or trouble will ever touch them and they abide therein for ever. There will also be no sense of toil, fatigue, or weariness.

      In the next verse (NO.49) Allah says to his prophet:ِ

      ``Inform my servants that I am All-forgiving, Compassionate.''

      God's Grace and Mercy, always precedes His wrath and punishment. But if we deliberately reject our Lord's Mercy and Forgiveness, we have then to accept His justice, and await his painful punishment for our sins and oppressions, which is hard to endure. We therefore must beware of defying God's Law; or else, we have to await His Justice.

LET US CONSTRUCT A PARADISE HERE

      The principle bounties of Paradise are the main bounties of this life here too. It seems that the above verses want to notify that, we too can make a Paradisiacal life here for ourselves, by observing the principles valid in the Divine kingdom, which are as follows:ِ

      If we remove the hatreds and enmities from our heart; If we support the principles of brotherhood and friendship among us;

      If we get rid of extra formalities which are the causes of disunion and separation among us;

      If we return the peace and security to our communities; And if we assure all people that no one bothers their fame, prestige, personality, and social positions, as well as their lawful income;

      Then we all will find ourselves living in a PARADISE.
