THE MOSLEM BELIEF
When the souls of the faithful enter Paradise they will come first of all to a great shining pool, and, having drunk of it, will thirst no more. The thought of this lake has confronted many a parched man in the Arabian desert, and it is often spoken of in Moslem literature. Going on, the soul will come to a country whose soil is like wheaten flour, whose pebbles are pearls, and whose mountains are camphor. He will behold beautiful gardens, trees whose fruit is like melodious bells, splendid pavilions, and lovely beings clad in brilliant array. He will see the Tree of Life whose shade is so wide that it would take a hundred years for a horse to traverse it. Every pleasure the Moslem knew on earth will be his in Paradise, but magnified, and he will always be 30 years old
