Knowledge and Paradise

BismillahirRahmanirRahim
Assalaamu alaykum

I pray that you are well.

"Allah bears witness that there is no god but He -- and the angels, and men possessed of knowledge -- upholding justice; there is no god but He, the All-mighty, the All-wise." Qur'an AleImran 3:18

Allah began attestation first by Himself, then by His angels and then the learned. It is understood by this verse that the rank of the learned and their honor are much high. The mark of true knowledge is fearful reverence of Allah. No one has a deep fearful reverence of Allah (khashya) except people of knowledge. If khasyha is in the heart of that person, it takes that person to the highest Paradise. So knowledge is the key to the blissful Gardens.

But those to whom knowledge had been given said, 'Woe upon you! The reward of God is better for him who believes, and works righteousness; and none shall receive it except the steadfast.' Qur'an Al-Qasas 28:80

What! he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know and those who do not know alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful." Qur'an Az-Zumar 39:9

So, seek knowledge and don't stop until you reach your grave. Tawfiq.

And Allah knows best.

Wassalaam
