What Will Be the First Food in Paradise?
• It is proven in the authentic Sunnah that the first food offered to welcome the people of Paradise when they enter it will be “the caudate lobe of whale liver”. • Some scholars said that the caudate lobe of whale liver is the first food in Paradise is an indication of the end of this world, which is a transient abode, and moving to Paradise, which is an eternal abode. The fish or whale is an aquatic animal which is indicative of the essence of life on earth, and the bull is a land animal which is indicative of tilling the soil and earning a living. So the people of Paradise are given these two things to eat to signal the end of this world and the beginning of the Hereafter.
