The Quran's Description of Paradise in Connection to the Culture of the Time of Revelation from the Perspective of Contemporary Intellectuals: Analysis and Criticism

This article analyzes and critiques the contemporary Muslim intellectuals' views on the issue that the Quran has been influenced by the Arab culture of the time of revelation in describing the blessings of Paradise, and ultimately concludes that, in introducing a small part of the infinite blessings of Paradise desired and wished by all  human beings in all ages, God has optimally utilized the words, perceptions and conventions of the people of the time of revelation without losing touch with reality or being influenced by the culture of the age relying on rational principles and being consistent with the  initial addressees of the Quran. However, in introducing this limited portion of the blessings of Paradise, He also points out their inherent differences with their worldly counterparts, and at the same time, announces the existence of numerous spiritual blessings and countless other blessings which are beyond human imagination.
