Going to Paradise? A Formula For Success

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

We all want Jannah (Paradise) but what can we possibly do to deserve Jannah? Jannah is so huge! When you enter it, you can't see the other side. When you look up, you can't see the ceiling. Jannah is beyond our imagination!

 

Now, what could we possibly do to buy a home in Jannah? Are you counting on that 5 minutes times 5 prayers, for a total of 25 minutes daily? If you want to buy a house on earth, you have to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 30-50 years to pay off your  loan! 

 

Jannah is the grace of Allah for His believing servants. Allah is Dhu al Jalali wa al Ikram. 

 

Surah Qaaf is an amazingly composed treasure of knowledge and productivity. The ultimate reminder is right at the start; Qaaf. By the honored Quran. In the last verses, 36 till 50, the whole Surah is summarized. From the creation, the destroyed nations to the resurrection. Allah, the Most High, then gives the formula of success.

Qaaf. By the honored Quran... (1) ....  So be patient, [O Muhammad], over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting, (39) And [in part] of the night exalt Him and after prostration. (40) ... We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant. But remind by the Quran whoever fears My threat (45).

 

Let the Quran be with you in your life. Be productive and don't miss your obligatory and the night prayers.

May Allah grant us success (tawfiq) in this life and the next. Aameen. 

 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.
