Invitation to the Home of Peace

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

This much every Muslim knows that Paradise is a place of bliss beyond human imagination. Allah invites all of us to Paradise. The people of Paradise will be blessed with more -- seeing the true Lord. This is far superior to whatever blessings there are. Why would you not accept His invitation?

ٱللَّـهُ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَـٰمِ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٢٥
لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌ ۖ وَلَا يَرْهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ قَتَرٌ وَلَا ذِلَّةٌ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ﴿٢٦

And Allah invites to the Home of Peace and guides whom He wills to a straight path (25). 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 (26)

[Qur'an Yunus 10:25-26]

The Prophet ﷺ said:

When the people of Paradise enter it, Allah the Exalted will say: Would you like anything more? They will say: Have you not brightened our faces? Have you not entered us into Paradise and saved us from the Hellfire? The Prophet continued, "Allah will lift the veil and among the bounties given to them, nothing would be more beloved than looking at their Lord the Exalted.” Then he recited the verse, “For those who do good is more…” (10:26)

[Muslim]

Yahya ibn Mu'adh Al-Razi has given some man-to-man advice to whomsoever it may reach:

0 son of Adam! Allah Almighty invited you to the Home of Peace (Daru's-Salam). When and from which country would you take that right step in response to this Divine call? Understand, and mark it well. If you have started making efforts to say yes to this invitation (from your Lord) while you are still here in this world, you will succeed. You will reach the Home of Peace. And if you wasted the years of your life here, then landed in your grave, and then thought of following this call, you will be stopped. You will not move from there, not even one step - because, the place where you are is no Home of Deeds (Daru'l-'Amal).

May Allah guide us on the straight path and give us the ability to move ahead on course. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
