How is it Possible to Attain Paradise Again?
Wherever Allah Almighty has mentioned in the Noble Quran the story of Adam (peace be upon him), Iblis, and the expulsion of Adam from Paradise, He has also revealed verses to console the children of Adam. Iblis made Adam and Hawwa expose their nakedness in Paradise, so several verses were revealed regarding clothing, its being a blessing, and the wearing of good clothes. In Paradise, Adam and Hawwa used to eat the fruits of Paradise freely; only the eating from one tree was forbidden. Regarding this world, it is also stated that except for a few forbidden things, whatever is in the earth is permissible for you, so you may eat whatever you wish from the lawful and pure things, but do not be extravagant. The difference is that in Paradise, food and drink were obtained without effort, but in this world, effort and striving are required, and it is in this very effort and striving that the test of man lies. In this way, what was written in destiny came to pass. Now, as for the matter of attaining that lost Paradise again, it is stated regarding this that My messengers will continue to come to you for your guidance, who will inform you of My instructions and My commands. Then, whoever followed those messengers, refrained from disobeying Allah, and reformed himself, for him, attaining that Paradise again will not be difficult. They will have no worry about their future, nor will they feel any regret or remorse over the life they spent in this world. But those who denied the messengers and My commands and became arrogant like Satan, for them, there will be no way to enter Paradise again. Furthermore, in the Hereafter, they will have to burn in Hell forever and endure the torment of pain.
