spent his entire life trying to acquire, in the knowledge that the rights of<br />

All\h I can never be fulfilled; he strived on obeying His every<br />

comm<strong>and</strong> at every given opportunity. Finally this Jannat|’s joy will<br />

know no bounds when he gets to raise his eyes to see the<br />

overwhelming presence of the Almighty in His Infinite glory. No<br />

written word in any language will be able to grasp the indescribable<br />

ecstasy experienced by the Jannatis at being granted the honour as<br />

well as the feeling of being able to see the splendour of the All<br />

Magnificent.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sighting of All\h I will be like the sighting of the full Moon or, the<br />

Sun, in the sense that there will be no difficulty in trying to see Him.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Jannat|s will, while seated on thrones of pure light, gold, silver,<br />

pearls, diamonds <strong>and</strong> rubies, see the Greatest in all His glory. <strong>The</strong> result<br />

will be that the faces of those who are present will be filled with N[r<br />

(light).<br />

All\h I in His limitless generosity will then make certain that everyone<br />

of those present will feel that they had spoken to All\h I, as though<br />

they were speaking face to face.<br />

at-Tirmidh| <strong>and</strong> Ibn M\jah<br />

‘O heaven’s dweller,’ the Noble Lord calls: ‘What more do you desire?<br />

I shall grant you all that you want, your life will never again expire.’<br />

“Thou hast given me all, my Lord, Thou hast filled my heart with glee,<br />

“I regret not doing more in the world, to prove that I adored thee.”<br />

All\h proclaims ‘My servant there is one thing you have yet to ask.’<br />

“What can this be O Lord? What is this all important task?”<br />

‘You have not asked for my happiness, but that I shall grant for free,<br />

No doubt I am pleased with you, for now, forever, for all eternity.’<br />
