Describing Paradise by Limited Human Imaginations: Difference between revisions

Why is everything that Arabs imagined 1400 years ago as a utopia or their aspirations introduced in the Qur'an as Paradise? If, nowadays, these descriptions of Paradise in Islam are given to the inhabitants of the beautiful regions of the world, what will they say? Do not they say that we have many of these paradises in our country and we do not need the Paradise of Islam?

True Paradise is beyond human imagination, and the Qur'an and hadiths have had to use perceivable examples for people so that they can understand. The Qur'an, however, provides a general criterion that whatever you wish will be available to you in Paradise. More importantly, the Qur'an does not consider the blessings in Heaven as the ultimate goal of human beings; rather the main goal is to achieve the pleasure of God.

Therefore, it is possible to talk about Paradise, which introduced in Islam, to all human beings and consequently invite them to Islam; without any contradiction between the earthly gardens and landscapes and the Divine Paradise. As we see, Muslims live in these countries and do not see a contradiction between earthly paradise and the Divine Paradise.
