An Appointment in Paradise
When the people of paradise enter paradise and the people of hellfire enter hellfire, somebody will call out:
"Oh people of paradise — Allah has an appointment with you that you have to attend."
They'll say: "What an appointment? Nobody told us about an appointment! Didn't Allah make our scales heavy, and he brightened our faces, and he brought us to Jannah, and he saved us from the fire? What more could there be?"
Then the veil that covers between us and Allah will be lifted:
Then they will see Allah:
Nothing that they ever experienced before that would be greater for them than the experience of seeing — of being in the company of Allah.
