abide therein forever and will not even die.
16. Paradise has also been created. It has various types of comforts and luxuries. The dwellers of paradise will have no sort of fear or concern whatsoever. They will abide therein forever. They will not come out of it, nor will they die.
17. Allâh Ta'âla has the full right to punish over minor sins or to forgive over major sins and not to punish at all.
18. Allâh Ta'âla does not ever forgive kufr or shirk. Apart from this, whatever other sins there may be, He will forgive whoever He wishes out of His mercy.
19. Apart from all those whom Allâh and His Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have taken by name that they will enter paradise, we cannot say with certainty in regard to anyone else that they will enter paradise. However, after looking at good signs, it is necessary to be optimistic and hopeful of His mercy.
20. The greatest bounty in paradise is seeing Allâh Ta'âla. This will be given to the dwellers of paradise. In comparison to this pleasure, all other bounties will appear insignificant.
21. While awake, no one has seen Allâh with his very eyes in this world, nor can anyone see Him.
22. No matter how good or bad a person may have been throughout his life, he will be recompensed according to the state in which he dies.
23. Whenever a person repents or accepts Islam, his repentance or Islam will be accepted by Allâh Ta'âla. However, at the time of death, when he is breathing his last and he sees the angels of death, neither repentance nor his accepting Islam will be acceptable.

INCORRECT BELIEFS AND ACTIONS
After this, it seems appropriate to mention a few incorrect beliefs, evil customs, and major sins which are committed quite often and which cause a shortcoming in one's Imaan. In mentioning these things, it is hoped that people will guard themselves from them. Some of these are absolute kufr and shirk, some are very close to kufr and shirk, others are innovations and delusions, while others are sins. It is therefore necessary to safeguard one's self from all of them. After mentioning these things, a few worldly harms of sinning and worldly benefits of good deeds will be mentioned. Since people tend to give more attention to worldly gains and losses, it is hoped that in this way there will be the desire to do good and abstain from evil.
Kufr and Shirk
This chapter deals with those aspects that have a special connection with kufr and shirk either because these aspects necessitate kufr and shirk, or because they are customs and habits of the kuffar and mushrikeen, or they have traces of shirk, or because they lead to kufr and shirk.

The following are forbidden in the Shariah:
1. To like kufr, to appreciate the things of kufr, and to make someone else commit an act of kufr.
2. To express regret or remorse at one's own Imaan due to some reason or other, e.g. by thinking that if he were not a Muslim, he could have attained such and such a thing.
3. To say the following things out of grief on the death of one's children or close ones: "Allâh wanted to kill him only", "he was the only person left in the world for Allâh to kill", "Allâh should not have done this", "No one perpetrates such brutality as You have done."
