[blue][b]QUOTE:

Let me quote this verse yet again:

"Gardens of Eden which they enter, underneath which rivers flow, wherein they have what they will." Quran 16.31

Does it not say that there is no limit to what you can have in Paradise? Isn't that very clear? Does it not say that whatever desire you have, it will be granted to you? Does it say only good desires will be granted and evil will not be granted? No.

Ok i had a look for some evidence and this is what i found so far:

Here are some verses which i took from the Holy Quran that indicate that paradise is a place of only good desires and not evil desires:

[red]They shall not hear therein (in paradise) any dirty, false, evil vain talk, but only salam (salutations of peace) (19:62)[/red] [:p]

[violet]No Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk) will they hear therein, nor any sinful speech (like backbiting) (56:25)[/violet] [:p]

[red]No Laghw (dirty, false, evil talk) shall they hear therein, nor lying (78:35)[/red] [:p]

[violet]Fruits: and they (shall enjoy) honour and dignity, (37:42)

(commentary on this verse: The gardens delights are figured forth from parallel experiences in our present life...............and the society of the Companions of the opposite sex, with beauty and charm but none of the grossness too often incidental (happening in connection with) to such companionship in this life.)[/violet] [:p]

[red]There will be for them all that they wish (50:35) 
commentary - to get all that our purified wishes and desires comprehend.....)[/red] [:p]

According to these verses Allah Swt has put restrictions in paradise.  The believers of paradise will not be allowed for e.g to lie, backbite, or speak dirty about another person.  Also according to the commentary (taken from the Quran by Mushaf Al Madinah) there will be no grossness in the compannionships in paradise like they have here.  This indicates that there will be a level of modesty in paradise for men and women. [^]

Also there are many verses describing paradise as a beautiful place with rivers and springs and fruit.  A place of peace and security.  Isn't this obviously connected with the impresssion of good? [:D]

So you see this is proof enough that paradise will have good values in it.  Paradise is a perfect place of all that is good, whatever Allah Swt sees as good.  If there was no concept of good or evil in paradise then why does Allah Swt prevent the believers from cursing there, or talking dirty about their friends or partners if they desired.  Why cant they just do what they what they want, drink and get drunk, curse at others, show off, treat their wives (or husbands) just as sex objects and nothing else. [}:)]

So you see Allah Swt will clear our minds from all that He Swt considers as evil.  The above verses are likely to be examples of what Allah Swt will not allow in paradise.  Just because He hasn't mention certain things does not mean they will be allowed in paradise, that is left to our own common sense and what we have learnt from the Holy Quran here and the good values it contains. [^]

How about we also look at some of Allah Swt names as well:

[violet]Al Jabbar - The one who subdues wrong and restores right

Al bar - The kind, The Righteous

Al noo takim (not sure i spelt that right) - The avenger of evil[/violet]

Allah Swt hates evil so whatever He considers as evil will not be allowed in paradise, therefore He will clear our minds to whatever necessary extent, which will be likely before we ask what we want in paradise.

So with the desire of wanting hoors only as sex objects, or maybe desiring the kind of dirty things women (or men) do on this earth, like how they dress or dance in dirty videos etc, In my opinion i believe it is regarded as evil and dirty with the good values Allah Swt has taught me here to back me up.
