In this part of the sermon, Imam Ali (A.S) explained to us, what paradise looks like for those who will be in it. This will make people obey Allah and compete by working hard in this world after understanding how the paradise looks like from the words of Imam Ali (A.S). here we are to see how the Imam described paradise in the sermon as follows;

A part of the same sermon describes Paradise:

If you see the description of heaven with your heart's eye, you will give up on what is in the world, its desires and pleasures, and its beautiful scenery. When you think of the rustling of the leaves of its trees in the song, the trees that have grown on the banks of its rivers and have sunk their roots in the musk hills, clusters of pearls hanging from their thin and thick branches. Various fruits are placed in the pods of flowers and they can be picked without any pain they are available to the picker as he wishes. For the heavenly people, around their palaces, refined honey and clear wines are circulating.[1]
