76:30
It is necessary that the individuality of the people of paradise should last and abide, despite the final annihilation, for in this lie the expediency and wisdom. However, due to annihilating (fana'fillah) in God and abiding by Him (baqa bi'llah), the wish of the mumin will become one with the will of God, about which there are many clear proofs in the Holy Qur'an. For instance, (1) In the verse (76:30; 81:29), God addressing the higher ranks of the faith has said: "But you will not, except as God wills" (76:30; 81:29). This is about the people who are at the highest rank of faith. (2) Free will or choice is given by God, then when the time comes, it is taken back.
This means that finally it is the will of God which becomes the will of a believing servant, as it is said in the verse (33:36): "It is not fitting for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by God and His messenger, to have any choice about their matter." Here there is an allusion that when at the place of command (maqam-i amr) the choice of God and the Messenger appears, then the believing servant adopts it and abandons his own. (3) To be retired from the heavy burden of the choice or free will at the perfect rank of faith is called tawakkul (to make God one's own wakil or agent), as is said in the verse (10:84): "And Musa said: 0 my people, if you (really) believe in God, in Him put your tawakkul (trust, i.e. make Him your wakil or agent), if you are going to submit (your “I” to Him)". Thus it is evident that the righteous will have the Divine will in Paradise and this will work like the word "kun (Be)" in their personal world.
