The Quran clearly recognizes the inability of man to grasp and perceive the characteristics of paradise and says: "None can perceive what blessings are hidden for man in that realm which will delight his eye" (32:17). Furthermore, there is no limitation, with respect to type and category, that will be placed on the blessings of paradise: "Therein will be whatever the souls desire and eyes delight" (43:71). We know that God's acts are implemented by means of His All-Powerful will; as soon as He wills a certain thing, its existence on the plane of being follows automatically. Thus, the Quran says: "For to anything which We have willed, We but say the word, "Be," and it is" (16:40). In another world whatsoever God wills to exist and commands to come into being, that very instant it comes into being without any delay. So whatever a faithful person desires of blessings and joys in paradise, it will instantly be presented to him by the power of God.
