"Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure, and indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire." (Quran 82:13-14)

The description of the beauty and magnificence of Paradise, beyond human imagination - in the Quran
Believers will have access to knowledge and wisdom in the Paradise beyond what they had in this life - in the Quran
The Quran describe how believers in Paradise will have access to a life of leisure, comfort, and beauty. They will enjoy the company of their spouses, have everything they desire, and be able to request anything they wish for. Believers will have knowledge and understanding of the nature of Allah and His creations. The Quran also emphasize the mercy and power of Allah, and the importance of gratitude for His blessings.

Believers will have access to knowledge and wisdom in the Paradise beyond what they had in this life - in the Quran
The Quran also mentions that believers will have access to knowledge and wisdom in Paradise that surpasses what they had in this life. Here are a few Quranic verses on this topic:
"And Allah invites to the Home of Peace and guides whom He wills to a straight path. For them who have done good is the best [reward] and extra. No darkness will cover their faces, nor humiliation. Those are companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally. But they who have earned [blame for] evil doings - the recompense of an evil deed is its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them. They will have from Allah no protector. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night - so dark [are they]. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally. And [mention, O Muhammad], the day We will gather them all together - then We will say to those who associated others with Allah, '[Remain in] your place, you and your partners.' Then We will separate them, and their partners will say, 'You did not used to worship us. And sufficient is Allah as a witness between us and you that we were of your worship unaware.' There, every soul will taste [the consequence of] what it earned. And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do. [The] companions of Paradise are [the] successful ones. If We had sent down this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and coming apart from fear of Allah. And these examples We present to the people that perhaps they will give thought." (Quran 10:25-37)
"And the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right? [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed and [banana] trees layered [with fruit], and shade extended and water poured out and fruit, abundant [and varied], neither limited [to season] nor forbidden, and [with] noble, accommodating companions [i.e., spouses]. Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation and made them virgins, beloved [by nature], equal in age - for the companions of the right [who are] a company [i.e., of believers]." (Quran 56:27-38)
These verses describe how believers will have access to knowledge and wisdom in Paradise, as well as other rewards such as companionship, shade, and abundant fruit. The Quran also mentions how the women of Paradise will be created anew and be virgins, equal in age, and beloved by nature. These verses highlight the immense blessings that await believers in Paradise, including access to knowledge and wisdom beyond what they had in this life.
"And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, 'This is what we were provided with before.' And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. Indeed, Allah does not shy away from the truth. [Rather,] it is those who ignore the verses of Allah who are the liars. Those are the ones who will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent. No doubt, they will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter. Indeed, it is you, [O Muhammad], who receive the Qur'an from One Wise and Knowing. [Mention] when Moses said to his family, 'Indeed, I have perceived a fire. I will bring you from there information or will bring you a burning torch that you may warm yourselves.' But when he came to it, he was called, 'Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it. And exalted is Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Moses, indeed it is I - Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.' And [he was told], 'Throw down your staff.' But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allah said], 'O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure. Insert your hand into your pocket; it will emerge white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient.'" (Quran 27:89-93)
"Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs, accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good. They used to sleep but little of the night, and in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness, and from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived. And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]. And in yourselves. Then will you not see? And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised. Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking. Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? When they entered upon him and said, 'Peace.' [Abraham] said, 'Indeed, we are fearful of you.' [The angels] said, 'Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy.' He said, 'Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?' They said, 'We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing.'" (Quran 51:15-19)
These verses describe how believers in Paradise will have access to gardens and springs, as well as purified spouses, and will abide therein eternally. They will also have access to knowledge and wisdom beyond what they had in this life, as exemplified by the story of Moses and the burning bush, and the honored guests of Abraham who bring good news of a learned boy.
"Indeed, the companions of Paradise that day will be amused in [joyful] occupation - they and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches. For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]. [And] 'Peace,' a word from a Merciful Lord. 'And arise [to enter] Paradise, you and those who followed you of the believers.' Their words therein will be, 'Peace,' and the last of their words will be, 'Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.' And if Allah had willed, He could have made them [of] one religion, but He admits whom He wills into His mercy. And the wrongdoers have not any protector or helper." (Quran 36:55-74)
"But as for he who had repented, believed, and done righteousness, it is promised by Allah that he will be among the successful. And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allah and high above what they associate with Him. And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare. And He is Allah; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned. Say, 'Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the night continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you light? Then will you not hear?' Say, 'Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?' And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful. And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, 'Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?' Those upon whom the word will have come into effect will say, 'Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship us.'" (Quran 28:67-74)
These verses describe how believers in Paradise will have access to a life of leisure, comfort, and beauty, and will be able to enjoy the company of their spouses. They will have everything they desire and will be able to request anything they wish for. In addition, believers will have knowledge and understanding of the nature of Allah, as well as knowledge of His creations. The verses also emphasize the mercy and power of Allah, and the importance of gratitude for His blessings. Finally, the verses warn against associating partners with Allah and highlight the importance of repentance and righteous deeds in order to be among the successful in the Hereafter.
