What is the wisdom behind enjoying gold and pearls in Paradise, despite their lack of benefit there, as is the case in this world?
Attachment to ornamentation and jewelry made of gold, silver, and precious stones is natural, and Allah Almighty has made them part of the blessings of the people of Paradise. These ornaments are intended for adornment, not for their monetary value, which is why people pay prices for them that exceed the value of the raw gold they contain, due to their design and craftsmanship. What is forbidden for men in this world is adorning themselves with gold and silk, while possessing gold for saving money is not forbidden. As for the Hereafter, people do not seek jewelry for its monetary aspect due to lack of need, but rather for adornment, which is part of the blessings of the people of Paradise.
