What is the wisdom behind mentioning things that exist in this world—like horses and tents—as being present in Paradise, instead of merely sufficing with: "In Paradise there is what no eye has seen, no ear has heard"?
The wisdom behind detailing the delights of Paradise is to encourage people to attain Allah's pleasure and enter His Garden, by clarifying that everything they desire in this world will be available there in the most perfect way. The Holy Quran has stipulated that the people of Paradise will have whatever they wish therein, as in His Almighty saying: "They will have therein whatever they wish," and His saying: "They will have whatever they wish with their Lord." This is a fulfillment of desires in Paradise, as an honor to its inhabitants, unlike this world. Al-Bukhari narrated an example of this, where a man from the people of Paradise sought permission from his Lord to plant, and He granted him permission.
