ADNAN OKTAR’S AKS TV INTERVIEW
(14 APRIL 2009)
ADNAN OKTAR: There is a wonderful clarity in Paradise, and happiness alone. The individual knows no sorrow, fear, unease or boredom. Since Allah knows what will distress human beings, in the Hereafter He has created no such things in their destiny. In other words, even if people were to look for unhappiness they could not attain it, they would not find it too. People have no such ability. People are entirely freed from such feelings as fatigue, fear, panic, sorrow or doubt. So people will live in such a way as to know happiness alone. Their minds will be very transparent and they will only think positively. There are none of satan’s suggestions there, and since his power has been lifted, our brothers will be at ease and in well-being there. The disappearance of satan’s power is a most important issue. The power of the lower-self also disappears there. The intervention of the lower-self disappears. Because—I take refuge in Allah from satan—Almighty Allah says that lower-self is created as inimical to Him. Have you seen him who has taken his lower-self as his god, asks Almighty Allah. Lower-self is a scourge on human beings. In Paradise the soul is free, that is, unfettered by lower-self. Since satan’s power has been lifted, people will enjoy a wondrous peace, meaning an unimaginable joy and rapture. In other words, two pressures have been lifted; there is no hunger, cold, heat, need for sleep or fatigue. There is no pressure from satan or from lower-self. The elimination of these is like the lifting of a 30-ton weight. Just that alone will make people gloriously happy, and we will be maddened by love of Allah in Paradise. That is the true pleasure we enjoy.

ADNAN OKTAR: Good moral values are inevitable in Paradise. Almighty Allah says—I take refuge in Allah from satan—“O self at rest and at peace”, that is, the lower self that has been balanced, become rational and normal. He says, “Return to your Lord, well-pleasing and well-pleased! Enter among My slaves!” We will already enter the Paradise with a soul that is at rest and at peace. Allah tells us that if we harbor hatred to anyone, He will take that from us. I take refuge in Allah from Satan, in the verse Allah says, "We will strip away any rancour in their hearts." In other words, we will not know feelings such as anger and hatred. In addition, the preconditions for them will not exist and there will be no environment in which they can exist. Neither will there be any incidents requiring such reactions, and there will be no innate feelings of strife within us.

ADNAN OKTAR: We will describe everything we do here, but in Paradise a Muslim will be unable to remember anything that might embarrass or disturb a Muslim. It will be totally wiped from his memory and will be unable to bring it to mind no matter what he does. Other people will also be unable to remember it, no matter what they do. In other words, people will be unable to recall things that might embarrass them or make them uneasy. They will only have clear memories of pleasant deeds, of acceptable and lawful behavior. They will be able to recall those in perfect clarity. Furthermore, they will be able to watch them, insha’Allah.
