Why Will Allah Speak To The People of Jannah?

The author (Ibn al-Qayyim - may Allah have Mercy on him) describes Allah Speaking to the people of Jannah and this happens for various reasons:

1) To explain His Favour over them. He will Ask, 'Are you happy?' The people of Jannah will reply by saying, 'Why wouldn't we be happy when You have given to us that none of the creation can ever give us!' He will Say, 'I will Give you something better than that!' They will say, 'O Lord! What can be better than that?' He will Say, 'I am Pleased with you causing me never to be Angered with you for eternity.' (al-Bukhari, 6183)

2)  Allah will speak to the people of Jannah about the actions they used to do in the Dunya, not out of rebuke, but out of making apparent His Mercy over them so that they love Him even more, the Glorified, thanking Him more, the Most High and this will be concluded with the Peace of Allah upon them, 'Peace! A word from a Merciful Lord' (36:58)

3) The opposite to the first, Allah, the Glorified and the Exalted, will talk to them so that they can hear the Quran from Him directly and they will listen to it. They will listen to the Words of Allah directly from Him, the Glorified and Exalted, in a voice which is beautiful and uncreated.
