Activities in Paradise: Similar or Different?

maulana, agla sawal khwaja kaleemuddin sahib ka hai, jo dilli mein hain abhi. unhone likha hai: "what kind of activities will we do in paradise? are they similar to what we do here or different and at what level?" iske baare mein bataein. jaise quran se maloom hota hai ke ke jannat jo hai, wahan bhi wahi activities hongi jo is duniya mein hain. quran mein surah al-baqarah mein yeh aayat hai ke: "kul min min

to log isko lete hain sirf mewa ke maene mein ke jab woh khane peene ki cheez milegi to kahenge wahan bhi aisa mila tha hum ko." matlab wahan ka safe bhi is tarah ka milta julta hoga. yeh khane peene ki baat nahi hai. arabi zabaan mein rizq bahut hi zyada yaani جامع lafz hai, bahut hi comprehensive lafz hai. saari activities is mein aati hain, saari activities. to main yeh kahunga ke is aayat, is quran ki is aayat ka matlab yeh hai ke jannat ki zindagi is poori ki poori isi duniya se milti julti zindagi hogi. lekin farq kya hoga?

farq yeh hoga ke wahan ki zindagi mein aaj ki zindagi mein farq yeh hoga ke wahan koi limitations nahi hongi. limitation yahan limitation hoti hain, wahan koi disadvantage nahi hoga. yahan advantage, disadvantage hote hain. wahan perfection hoga, yahan perfection nahi hota. wahan ideal hoga, yahan ideal nahi hota. yeh yeh farq hai.

yahan pleasure ke saath pain mila hua hai. duniya mein har pleasure ke saath pain mila hua hai. wahan sirf pleasure hoga, sirf pleasure hoga. isi liye jannat mein jab jayenge log, jannat wale, to woh kahenge: "alhamdulillah alladhi adfa'a 'anna al-huzn." allah ka shukr hai ke is ne huzn ko nikaal diya hamari zindagi se. yeh yeh nahi kahenge ke ek aur hi dunya de di rehne ke liye jo is se mukhtalif thi. yeh aise koi quran mein nahi, aisa koi reference hai ke jannat wale yeh kahein ke yeh to doosri dunya hai. bilkul aisa nahi kahenge. woh kahenge: "is dunya mein hum huzn ke saath rehna padta tha.

wahan bila huzn ki zindagi hai." huzn ka matlab yeh hai ke har qism ka pain, har qism ki takleef, har qism ka dard, har qism ka displeasure, woh hai huzn. to is dunya mein aap jante hain ke har phool ke saath kanta hai, har masarrat ke saath pareshani hai. isi ka naam dunya hai. to akhirat mein yeh hoga ke allah taala wahan huzn ko nikaal denge. wahan par har cheez perfect hogi, har cheez ideal hogi.

isi wajah se wahan par hamein kamil fulfillment milega. woh koi aur okhi dunya nahi hogi, koi koi jinnaaton wali. jo farq jo hoga, woh perfection imperfection ka hoga. perfection imperfection yeh hai imperfect world, woh hai perfect world. maulana, agla sawal tamil nadu se hai. maulana iqbal umri ka,
