This il the stage where man finds the paradise in this very world and it is here that he enjoys hazallazi roziq_na min qablo wa otoo bihee motashabiha this is what we were given before; and they were given their kind. In short, the real stage of worship is lbadat (worship in the real sense of the word). (M. alfoozat Vol. II, p. 64-65) 59
