´Suhaib narrated concerning His (Allah's) statement:` For those who do good is the best (reward) and even more- the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, a caller shall call out: 'Indeed you have a promise with Allah.' They will say: 'Did he not whiten our faces, save us from the Fire, and admit us into Paradise?' They will say: 'Indeed.' Then the Veil shall be lifted." He said: "So, by Allah, He did not grant them anything more beloved to them than looking at Him."

(1)
The vision of Allah, exalted is He, is the greatest and most delightful blessing that will be granted to the inhabitants of Paradise, and it will be the most beloved blessing for them.

(2)
Entering Paradise is also a blessing, which serves as a means to attain the vision of Allah; therefore, the statement of some Sufis is not correct—that while performing good deeds, one should neither desire Paradise nor fear Hell, but only seek Allah Himself. Allah, exalted is He, has described the quality of righteous believers as follows: they supplicate in this manner:
﴿رَبَّنا ءاتِنا فِى الدُّنيا حَسَنَةً وَفِى الأخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنا عَذابَ النّارِ‌﴾ ( al-Baqarah: 201)
“Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.”
