« That is to say, whatever souls desire is10 the reward for their works, whereas whatever eyes delight in is the empowerment (tamkīn)11 which God bestows on them at the time of the encounter (liqāʾ) [with Him] as a reward for their realisation of His oneness (tawḥīd). [Then] he said: Paradise is the reward for works performed by the bodily members. The encounter is the reward for the realisation of God’s oneness (tawḥīd). Note how God, Exalted is He, has said: [43:72] And that is the Paradise which you have been given to inherit [as a reward for] what you used to do. »
