and enheartening is such good news in the ears of ephemeral jinn and men, who thus supposed themselves to be condemned to eternal annihilation. If, at the moment he is to be executed and sent to non-existence, a man is pardoned and given a palace in proximity to the king, what great joy this would cause him. So, gather up all such joy and happiness to the number of jinn and men and then evaluate this good news.

Just as Muhammad (UWBP) himself sampled the fruit of the vision of divine beauty, so did he bring to jinn and men the gift of this fruit’s being attainable by all believers. You may understand from the following how delightful, pleasing, and exquisite a fruit this is.

Everyone of fine perception loves a person who possesses beauty and perfection and is benevolent, and their love increases proportionately to their degrees; it reaches the degree of worship and a pitch whereat they would sacrifice their very lives. On seeing such a person only once, their love becomes such they would sacrifice the world. However, in relation to the beauty, perfection, and benevolence of God Almighty, the beauty, perfection and benevolence of all beings are not the equivalent of even a few tiny sparks in relation to the sun.

If then he is told that he will make excursions and tours with the speed of imagination and breadth of the spirit in an eternal never-ending Paradise within the mercy of One Compassionate, Generous, and Merciful, and journey in the mind in accordance with all the desires of his heart in both the outer dimensions of things and those dimensions that look directly
