As for those who have faith and do right actions—We impose on
no self any more than it can bear—they are the Companions of the
Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (Surat al-A'raf: 42)
Essentially, a believer takes pleasure from attaining the good
pleasure of Allah. Knowing and feeling this is the greatest joy one can
ever have in this world.

EATH AND THE LIFE OF THE HEREAFTER
