The answer

The people of Paradise will recognize one another, based on the Almighty's saying: "And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith – We will join them with their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is pledged." Thus, the parents will be gladdened by their offspring, and Allah will unite them. And based on the Almighty's saying: "And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [as] brothers, facing each other on thrones." The removal of resentment indicates mutual recognition. And based on the Almighty's saying: "And therein is whatever the souls desire and [wherein] the eyes find pleasure." Seeing loved ones is among the greatest pleasures in this world.
