To give a proper description:. All that I can say is this. That of love for Him. There is a veritable river. Flowing in my heart. ”. It is true, of course, that in the life hereafter there would certainly be a Paradise as well; and the Believers and Un-believers will have their place in Heaven or Hell. according to the quality of their deeds; but for the Apostles and Prophets of God, the real Heaven lies in the joy which they experience in their love for God. In fact, even for the people of ordinary degrees of righteousness, the real Paradise lies in the pleasure of God. . This is the reason why, in the Holy Quran, in the context of the bliss in Paradise, the pleasure of God is mentioned separately and specially, after other joys and blessings to be experienced there have been referred to. Therein we read written very clearly: "And the pleasure and approval of God is the highest bliss. " (Sura. Tauba, verse 72). This is the position, indeed, of every True Believer, that instead of hankering after "hur-o-qusur", he should seek sojourn in the sublime spheres of the most sincere and unselfish love of God. 72
