No Paradise for Four Kinds of People

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Assalaamu alaykum

Each of these are major sins and we should totally avoid them: Drinking wine, dealing with riba (interest, usury), exploiting the property of an orphan, and disobeying parents.
أَرْبَعٌ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالى أَنْ لا يُدْخِلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ؛ وَلا يُذيقَهُمْ نَعيمَها: مُدْمِنُ خَمْرٍ؛ وَآكِلُ الرِّبا؛ وَآكِلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيْمِ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ؛ وَالْعَاقُّ لِوَالِدَيْه

There are four kinds of people about whom Allah has decided not to admit them to Paradise and not to let them taste its
bliss: The one who is addicted to wine, the one who takes the riba (interest, usury), the one who exploits the property of an orphan and the man who is disobedient to his parents.
[Hakim]

Hadiths like this one, which forbid entry into Paradise for certain Muslims, mean that such a person will not be admitted to Paradise with the early ones. He will have to spend a portion of time in Hellfire first, and then gain his entry to Paradise. Unless Allah Ta’ala forgives him without entry to Hellfire, in which case, his entry to Paradise will still be delayed.

(Sharh Nawawi ‘ala Sahih Muslim)

May Allah protect us from all those sins and save us from Hellfire. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and He alone grants success.
