/lit/ - Literature

The Gospels might lack polished prose, but the story is beautiful. Also they tie in somewhat to pick related, which is high literature.

The Quranic idea of paradise is often disparaged as juvenile because there is wine and sexual pleasure and other seemingly crude and hedonistic joys but paradise in Islam is something fully experienced after the physical resurrection (a doctrine of Christianity and Judaism as well) as all of creation is destroyed and recreated by Allah (SWT) but until then death is a sleep although comforted by visions. And sex and wine are not as ridiculous in a physical paradise but why are these permitted and loved in paradise if they are so restricted in this life? The answer is that Allah designed them for our joy but indulgence in this life takes us away from Allah but once we can indulge freely and it simply makes us closer and more thankful then physical indulgence becomes something spiritual.
