Quranic Themes:

• Displacement for Faith: Those who are displaced or suffer for their faith are promised divine support and reward.

• Martyrdom: Martyrs are assured of a special status in Paradise, where they are described as being "alive with their Lord" and receiving bounties.

• Levels in Paradise: The idea of different levels or degrees in heaven suggests that one's proximity to Allah is based on their deeds, faith, and spiritual purity. The "Foremost" are those who are nearest to Allah, enjoying the highest rewards.

Revelation's Vision:

• New Jerusalem: This vision depicts a renewal of creation where God dwells among His people, eliminating all forms of suffering. It's a place where "there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain."

Combined Narrative:

• Divine Justice and Reward: Both texts assure believers of a just recompense for their faith and sacrifices. The Quranic concept of levels in Paradise mirrors the Christian idea of varying degrees of closeness to God or rewards, though expressed differently. The New Jerusalem's promise of eternal peace can be seen as the ultimate level where all believers are in the closest communion with God, transcending even the highest Islamic Paradise levels.

• Spiritual Proximity: The Quranic idea of being closer or further from Allah in Paradise parallels the Christian hope of the Beatific Vision, where believers see God "face to face." In both traditions, the ultimate reward involves a profound spiritual intimacy with the Divine.

• Motivation for Righteousness: The promise of different levels in Paradise or the vision of New Jerusalem encourages believers to live righteously. The Quranic narrative might focus on individual spiritual merit, while Revelation speaks to a collective redemption and renewal, but both emphasize the importance of one's life choices.

• Hope in Suffering: For those who suffer or are displaced because of their faith, both scriptures offer hope. The Quran speaks of divine protection and reward here and in the afterlife, while Revelation promises a new world where all such suffering is nullified, where "God himself will be with them and be their God."

• Eschatological Fulfillment: The Quranic levels in Paradise can be seen as stages of spiritual elevation, while the New Jerusalem symbolizes the final, universal stage where all believers are united in God's presence, transcending all previous distinctions of reward or level.
