Paradise of the Next Life is in Heaven

[Torch light]

Paradise of the Next Life is in Heaven; it is the seven ethereal layers, then on Doomsday they will be eight layers or heavens.

Quran 7: 40, which means:
(Those that deny Our signs and are arrogant against [accepting] them – the gates of [the gaseous] heaven shall not be opened to them, nor shall they enter Paradise until the camel passes through the eye of the needle.)

Therefore, God – be glorified – explained here that none may enter into Paradise unless the gates of heaven are opened for him and then he may enter into Paradise.

The 'heaven' or 'sky' here means the gaseous layers.

The trees in Paradise:

"When a tree of 'the present World' is cut and is dead, its spirit will not die, but will remain alive for ever, and it will be fresh, having a lot of branches full of fruits; its leaves won't fall and its fruits won't be depleted; it won't need manure or water; no coldness can cause its death, nor can any disease do that.

These ethereal trees will go to the ether world: and every good tree will be taken by the angels to heaven to be one of the Paradise trees."

Quran 14: 24-25, which means:
(A goodly word [which man says] is like a goodly tree: its derivation is permanent [on earth], and its derivatives are [taken] into heaven,
giving its fruit at all times with its Lord's leave.)

The fruits in Paradise or Heaven:

Quran 2: 25, which means:
(And bear the glad tidings [O Mohammed] to those who believe and work the righteous work,

that for them are:

Gardens below [the trees of] which rivers flow;

whenever they are provided with fruit therefrom, they say, 'This is what we were provided with before' a,

and they shall be provided with the like b ;

and in [Paradise] there are for them wives purified [from menstruation, urine and excrement] c ,

and they abide therein [living] forever [and will not die.])
..........................................................................................

25 a It means: They say: "This is the same fruit which we ate in the life of the World at such and such place."

: Because for every fruit there is a spirit identical with the material one, so they ate the material [fruits] in the life of the World to find the ethereal in Paradise in the next life. Therefore, they said: (This is what we were provided with before.)

25 b It means: The angels will bring to them other fruits like that they were provided with in the life of the World; e.g. they ate red apple in the World, and the angels bring to them yellow, white and green apples.

25 c Because souls eat and drink, but do not pass urine or stool; for [the ethereal food] comes out from their bellies: from under the chest to below the umbilicus, in the form of sweat that will evaporate and disappear in one minute of time.
