If there is no evil in Paradise, does that mean goodness loses its meaning?

In the Islamic Paradise, do people have the freedom to sin or do bad things, or are all evil thoughts prevented?
I read the following in a passage: “True love, sincere courage, and genuine justice require the possibility of their opposites. If Allah prevents all evil deeds, the meaning of goodness is lost.”
For example, to be able to feel true love, there must be the option not to feel love and free will, right? So, can a person do something bad in Paradise?

Dear Brother / Sister,

First of all, let us state that in Paradise, goodness exists not because it is an alternative to evil, but because it is inherently a pure and permanent beauty.

The idea mentioned in the question, “for good to be meaningful, evil must be possible,” is valid for worldly life because the world is a place of testing where a person gains value by choosing between good and evil.

However, Paradise is not a place of testing. It is simply a land of reward, pleasure, bliss, and happiness. Therefore, there are no instances of sinning or doing evil in Paradise; bad thoughts and negative emotions are completely removed from the heart.

As a matter of fact, the following is stated in the Quran: “And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury...” (al-Araf, 7/43)

How should the issue of freedom be understood?

In Paradise, human free will is not completely eradicated; however, the inclination toward evil is eliminated. That is, a person is not forced to do good; rather, he acquires a nature that no longer desires evil.

Thus, it is mentioned in the following verses and similar ones that the desires of the souls and that everything they desire will be granted.

“... There will be there all that the souls could desire, all that their ayes could delight in.” (az-Zukhruf, 43/71)
“... therein shall ye have all that your souls shall desire; therein shall ye have all that ye ask for.” (Fussilat, 41/31)
“... what their souls desired, in that will they dwell.” (al-Anbiya, 21/102)

So, desire, longing, and will exist, but these desires will be for what is good, perfect, virtuous, beneficial, and beautiful; in other words, for everything that is suitable for Paradise.

You can think of it like this: In the world, some people truly hate evil and do not want to do it. In Paradise, this state becomes perfect, heavenly, and permanent.

To sum up:

The world is a testing land, a place where we choose between good and evil, but Paradise is a land of reward, delight, and happiness; there is no evil, only peace. Free will naturally exists but there is no desire to turn to evil.
