The Best Thing in This Life Leads to the Best in the Hereafter

Imām Ibn Taimiyyah, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

The greatest of pleasures in the Hereafter is the pleasure of seeing Allāh—far above all is He in His perfection—as in the ṣaḥīḥ [authentic] ḥadīth: “So they will not have been given anything more beloved to them than seeing Him.”

That is the fruit of having come know Him and worshiped Him in this current life, for the best thing there is in this current life is getting to know Him, [while] the best thing there is in the Hereafter is seeing Him——far above all is He in His perfection.
