Question
Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said that there is a paradise in the worldly life; the one who does not enter it will not enter the Paradise of the Hereafter. What is this Paradise?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
The paradise of the worldly life is belief in Allaah The Almighty, drawing near to Him, loving Him, being satisfied with His Decree, along with the other characteristics of faith. This is the meaning intended by Ibn Taymiyyah 
behind these words.
Ibn Al-Qayyim narrated this statement from his Shaykh, Ibn Taymiyyah . Ibn Al-Qayyim pointed out that frequently remembering Allaah The Almighty and filling the heart with love for Him and the pleasure of knowing Him are the immediate rewards for the Muslim in this worldly life that make him enjoy a pleasant life, such that even kings do not enjoy.
Allaah Knows best.
