Since the struggle of the self concludes here and man succeeds in driving off the legions of satanic armies from the empire of his soul, this land becomes the abode of angels of God and a place of worship of truthful servants of God.
The doors of blessings from heaven and their ascending steps are opened to him, and the doors of hell and the descending steps thereof are closed on him, Imam Khomeini explained.
God Almighty views him with mercy and benevolence and unites him with His faithful and His blessed servants.
The path to divine knowledge, which is the ultimate purpose of creation of mankind is opened to him. God Almighty guards him through this hazardous path.
Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic has undertaken serious discussions in this regard in his famous book of “Forty Hadith” .
I wished to refer to the third stage of self (nafs), wherein another struggle against the deceptions and temptations of Satan takes place. But, on later thought, this description seems to be out of place here, so I left it undiscussed.
