With the regard to the Qur'anic sentence "For them there will be therein whatever they desire ..." some persons ask this question that if we consider the extensive meaning of this sentence, its result is that if the people of the Paradise ask the rank of prophets and Allah's friends, they will be given [^1] Sura Al-Mu'min, No. 40, verse 8 what they have asked; or if they want that their sinful friends and relatives to be freed from the Hell (which they deserve), they will be freed.
And there are things the like of them. Regarding a matter its answer will be made clear there will be no curtains before the eyes of the Paradise inhabitants, they (curtains) will be put away. They perceive the truths very well and see all proportions well. Such a thought that is to ask Allah such demands does never come to their mind. This is just like the time that in this life we ask a school boy to become a professor of university, or a criminal thief to become judge of court.
Do such thoughts come to the mind of a wise person here? In the Paradise it is so. Moreover, all their demands are overshadowed by Allah's will, and they desire what Allah desires.
Some traditions about the Paradise: The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) says: "Everyone who dies while he believes that Allah is true, he enters Paradise."[^1] The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) says; "In the Paradise there are blessings (and favours) which no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and no mind has ever imagined."[^2] Imam Ali (a.s.) says: "Your price and value is nothing but the Paradise.
Do not sell yourself but for the Paradise."[^3] The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) says: "Only Muslim will enter the Paradise."[^4] [^1] TauHud by Saduq, p. 29 [^2] Kanz-ul-'Ummal, Vol. 14, p. 455 [^3] Kanz-ul-'Ummal, Vol. 14, p. 645 [^4] Kanz-ul-'Ummal, Vol. 1, p.
