The question

Is it understood from the Hadith Qudsi, "I have prepared for My righteous servants that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever conceived," that the description of Paradise in the Holy Qur'an is only for a part of its blessings, and that other types have not been described?

The answer

The aforementioned in the Two Sahihs and other collections indicates that what is mentioned in the texts of revelation about the delights of Paradise is for approximation, and that it contains eternal delights that have not been described to us and cannot be imagined, in fulfillment of the Almighty's saying: {No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes} [As-Sajdah: 17].

Qadi Iyad, Ibn Hubayra, and An-Nawawi clarified the meaning of "balah" (baleh) as that which has not been disclosed is greater, and that the rewards of the Hereafter surpass human comprehension. Hence, Ibn Abbas said: "There is nothing in Paradise from this world except the names." A Muslim should, therefore, focus on the means of attaining Allah's pleasure to enter Paradise.
