This history of Sufi conceptions of the hereafter often imagined as
a place of corporeal reward (Paradise) or punishment (Hell) is
built upon the study of five medieval Sufi Qur'an commentaries.
Pieter Coppens shows that boundary crossing from this world to the
otherworld, and vice versa, revolves around the idea of meeting
with and the vision of God; a vision which for some Sufis is not
limited to the hereafter. The Qur'anic texts selected for study all
key verses on seeing God are placed in their broader religious and
social context and are shown to provide a useful and varied source
for the reconstruction of a history of Sufi eschatology and the
vision of God.
