How sound is Sheikh Hazem Salah Abu Ismail's interpretation of the verse: "Therein for them is fruit, and for them is whatever they call for," to mean that everything one wishes for will be found in Paradise, and that if one writes their wishes on a piece of paper, they will find them upon entering Paradise?

Everything a servant desires in Paradise, he will attain, for Allah the Almighty says: "And therein is what the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes" and "And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [as] accommodation from an All-Forgiving, Most Merciful." In addition, Allah will honor them with what has never crossed their minds, as Allah the Almighty says: "No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do." So, whatever a servant desired in this world, he will attain it in Paradise if he enters it.
