They will have whatever they wish therein [paradise],
and with Us is more
[Qaaf 50:35]
“Gabriel came to me with something like a white mirror in his hand,
on which there was a black spot.
I said:
‘What is this, O Gabriel?’
He said:
‘This is Jumu‘ah (Friday);
it is the master of days
and we call it Yawm al-Mazeed (the day of more).’
I said:
‘O Gabriel, what does “more” mean?’
He said:
‘That is because your Lord has allocated a valley in Paradise
that is more fragrant than white musk.
When Friday comes, among the days in the hereafter,
the Lord, may He be blessed and exalted, will descend from His Throne (‘Arsh) to His Kursiy,
and the Kursiy will be surrounded with seats of light
on which the Prophets will sit.
These seats will be surrounded with footstools of gold on which the martyrs will sit.
The people of the chambers will come down from the chambers and sit on sand hills of musk,
and those who sit on the sand hills will not think that those who sit on the footstools and seats are any better off than them.
Then the Owner of Majesty and Honour will appear and say:
‘Ask of Me.’
They will say:
‘We ask for Your good pleasure, O Lord.’
He will say:
‘It is because I am pleased with you that you are in My Paradise, and you are honoured.’
Then He will say (again):
‘Ask of Me.’
They will say all together:
‘We ask for Your good pleasure.’
He will ask them to testify that He is pleased with them. Then He will say (once more):
‘Ask of Me,’
and they will ask of Him until each one of them is finished.
Then He will grant them that which no eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
and it has not crossed the mind of any human.”
[al-Mu‘jam al-Kabeer (6717)]
“Some faces that Day shall be shining / radiant.
Looking at their Lord”
[al-Qiyaamah :22-23].
“When the people of Paradise enter Paradise,
God – may He be blessed and exalted – will say:
‘Do you want anything more?’
They will say:
Have You not made our faces bright?
Have You not admitted us to Paradise and saved us from Hell?’
Then the veil will be removed and they will not be given anything more beloved to them than looking at their Lord, may He be glorified and exalted.”
