56:49
On the Day of Resurrection, all of the earlier and later generations, gather in the personal world (56:49-50) But in this greatest gathering there will be two categories of people: those with the spiritual eye (basirat) and those without the spiritual eye (17:72; 20:124). Those with the spiritual eye will have the vision of God and by the blessings of knowledge and the recognition of it, the greatest secret will be disclosed to them that both in azal and abad thay have always been merged in the origin. Thus, return to God is in the form of knowledge.
If someone asks: What are the things that are attainable in Paradise, the answer is in the above-mentioned verse. That is, all those bounties are available in Paradise that man desires. The first and foremost bounty which man cherishes is his own language, in which he will converse with the first and the last generations of his country and nation (56:49). In short, in the personal and collective paradise, one hears and sees one's own and others’ words and deeds. All this will be in the light of God’s mercy and knowledge, by which the people of Paradise will have immense happiness. The example of this is such that, by the power of God, the honourable Scribes (kiraman katibin) will revive the words and deeds of every individual and every nation exactly, which is indeed more wondrous in comparison to writing about them. In any case, the everlasting kingdom of the people of Paradise is in their own language. Thus language is an everlasting thing. It has come to this world from Paradise, being created there in a wisdom-filled way and subsists there even now.
