Lahm tayr (Flesh of birds)
One of the bounties of paradise is the flesh of birds, as mentioned in verse (56:21): "And the flesh of birds that they relish." The ta'wili wisdom of this verse is that there are no dense foods of this world in paradise, therefore the flesh of birds is the example of the fact that the people of paradise will have the vision of pure souls and angels, which will give them extreme delight and happiness. Further, they will know the azali and abadi unity and monoreality, by which the concept of alienation will come to an end and everybody will be sure that he is a whole and the rest are his parts.
