i dont really know but one thing for sure, you will be you in heaven :)
 
:salamext:

^ and as aamirsaab said, we gotta get there first! (InshaaAllaah...Ameen)
 
What happens if, once your in paradise, you find that you've gone off chocolate milkshakes and would much prefer stabbing people in the neck?
 
:salamext:

^ U wont have those kind of feelings in Paradise, your heart will be PURE and removed from anger, fear, etc. all the bad emotions.

I'd rather not think about it, God can deal with it.
 
IbnAbdulHakim said that I would be myself in paradise. The sum of all your behaviours and emotions are what makes you who you are, if you take half of that away, who is left?
What about people who watch horror films or do bungee jumping because they enjoy being scared?
 
^ i should mention in order to enter paradise you need to be completely pure.

in order to be pure you might go through trials which forgive sins such as:

earth hardships
grave hardships
judgement day hardships
hell hardships


when pure, you will enter paradise, and no more bad thoughts will come to your mind :)
 
I'm not disputing that you have to be pure, I'm saying that some people enjoy being scared through activities that are not impure. If you take away the fear, you take away the object of their desire.
 
^ i understand.

well i dont really know but i do know you get what your heart desires.

so maybe you wont desire what harms others? :)

well we'll have to wait and see really, but this world is such a bad thing to compare the hereafter to :p
 
Sounds a bit like being constantly sedated. Sounds a bit too much like a forced mind control scenario for me to like the idea of it.
 
I would think it would be wrong to take hell or heaven so literally. I always assumed religions meant that we move to a different state of consciousness and reality very much unlike our current state. Concepts such as boredom or even time might not even make sense in such a reality!

Of course, thats how I, as an atheist, always rationalized it. The idea of us happily hopping around in some kind of fairytale land in our current animal form seems so unimaginative. In fact, it does indeed sound unbearable!
 
So in heaven we lose all free will. We spend eternity having our spirit imprinted with a cookie cutter value control system.

Ive just gone right off heaven, Even if i have to pay for my beer in hell.

Its starting to sound like a Matrix style nightmare mixed with stepford wives.
 
:salamext:

As IbnAbdulHakim bro said, u can always go to hell if u want :)

I have to admit it is indeed confusing. Since I believe Islam states that humans sinning is a result of their free will. How can heaven then exist without compromising free will?

I don't think it can. Maybe we should just think of heaven as a perpetual state of happiness, without any kind of mundane human 'activity'. No sensory input, no thought processes, no behavioral output. Just happiness!
 
there IS free-will in heaven.


im starting to understand more why so many of you will be in hell forever :|

How can there be free will if my brother in unbeleif above cant stab people in the neck when he's sick of Choccy Milkshake?
 
Everybody in paradise will be pure. Pure people don't go around stabbing people anyway!
