Ask Me, for this is the Day of Increase.’ They all say with one voice: ‘We are content, so be pleased with us.’—Then the account returns to His words—‘O people of Paradise, had I not been pleased with you, I would not have admitted you to My Paradise. This is the Day of Increase, so ask Me.’ They all say with one voice: ‘Our Lord, show us Your Face so that we may look upon it.’ Allah then removes the veils and manifests Himself to them.
