Rather, all that the Exalted described for the People of Paradise—of silver and gold bracelets, clothing, fruits, rivers, marriages, drinks, foods, and other than that—are indications of inward lights and cognitions. As the Apostle Paul informed in the fourteenth chapter of his Epistle to the Romans, saying: "For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit."

The disbelieving non-entity (Al-Lash). The believing entity (Al-Shay')

Similarly, Master Jesus (peace be upon him) informed in the twenty-second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, saying: "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels of God in heaven."

Our Sheikh—may Allah sanctify his person—singled out "The Nothing" (Al-Lash) to indicate that the Inward Water provides life only to the believer. As for the disbeliever—who is "nothing"—he does not drink it and attains nothing from it. This is due to his defiance, denial, and disconnection from the inward gnosis and his refusal to accept it.
