If you want to be a rich person (with lots of good deeds) in the life hereafter, you need to plan accordingly. Nothing happens automatically in this world. Each of us works very hard to achieve our goals and objectives for a short life. Similarly, each of us need to work very hard and need to do whatever possible and necessary for the eternal life where we have to live forever. Allah can give guidance to whomever He wants. He can forgive anyone He wants. However, He has defined certain guidelines and formats. If you sincerely try and follow those guidelines, Allah will consider them, can forgive you and let you go to heaven. Since the stakes are so high in such a short time, it is wise to do your best with minimum flaws and defects. Then it is more likely that Allah will consider your sincere efforts and reward you accordingly. As a Muslim, one of our fundamental beliefs is fate/decree. Each of us should get whatever is destined for us in this world. This is fixed. In Akherat, opportunities are unlimited. There are no limit or restrictions. You decide your goals and objectives. You can achieve whatever you are shooting for. Allah and Rasul says clearly [S1*, S2] (*see all Sources at the end of the book.). In this little book, steps are shown to avoid pitfalls, comply with acceptable conditions, choose the best Deeds, generate maximum assets, minimize loss for Akherat so the person can be rich, and get the best deal from Allah in the hereafter.

1: Life of a Human Being

The life of a human is very short (0-120 years maximum). Even if you live 120 years, 40 years will go to sleep, 40-50 years on work, worry, stress, tension, etc. You are left with basically 30-40 years to enjoy the assets if you are not sick. However, if you compare your eternal life, this comfort is negligible. The Day of Judgment itself is 50,000 years. So your 120 years life is in fact 3.4 minutes, your comfort life is only 1 minute [S3-6]! You should think seriously: how much of your energy, time, resources and talent should be devoted to the worldly affairs as compared to Akherat [S7]? If you think you are too smart to take care of this worldly affairs, how smart you should be for Akherat?

Day of Judgment Bridge

Time after the Day of Judgment is only the beginning. It is forever. If you can go to heaven, you are lucky, everything is set for you. If you go to hell even for a second, you will not be able to tolerate the punishment. It is very severe for a human. Now think, how will you stay there for years, millions or billions of years?. Sometimes, we are afraid to take a little shot, asks the nurse to use a thinner/smaller needle quickly. How will this fragile human body tolerate those severe punishments!!!

2. The Rich of this World

A person in this world can be very rich such as a millionaire or billionaire depending on his/her assets/savings/net worth:

Worldly Asset

Asset can be acquired/increased by the following ways…

• Inheritance such as property, companies, minerals, etc.
• High profession: Entrepreneur, Doctor, Lawyer, Actor, Inventor, Scientist, Sports player, Investor, Corporate Executives, Future Commodities Trader, Wall Street Trader, etc.
• Good business person with good planning, strategy, hard work, some luck, etc.
• Politicians with legal/Illegal earnings.
• Income from various illegal ways and means.
• Cut your losses and run. This is used by investors everyday. If you cannot increase your profit, you change business, profession, job, etc to something better for MORE Return On Investment (ROI).

2A: Worldly Asset Limits and Accountability

Even if you are a millionaire or billionaire in this world, you have the following difficulties/limitations:

• Always worry to protect/keep them for this short life (0-120 years)
• You lose your ownership of assets as soon as you die. In some instances, you can lose before death. You don’t have to wait for death to lose.
• Cannot take ANYTHING with you at the time death.
• Cannot benefit you in the life hereafter rather you have to give account for every single cent (how you earned, how you spent) [S8]. A poor person with similar good deeds will enter heaven 40 years AHEAD of a rich person.[S9]. Make your decision wisely.
• The more worldly possessions you have, you will have stricter accounting on the Day of Judgment besides worldly IRS worries.
• If your assets are used on unislamic things even after you leave, you are responsible. The reverse is also true.

3. The Rich of Akherat

A rich person in Akherat is the one who has net positive good deeds. His/her deeds are more than sins/loss. This will be established on the Day of Judgment by measuring on the balance.

The Rich of Akherat

3A. What is a Good Deed?

A good deed is defined as any action (small or big), which is an order of Allah and is done according to the way of Rasulullah (SAW). [S10]

3B: Asset Accumulation Process

Assets can be accumulated by different Deeds. Deeds can be small such as making nafl salat, to big such as giving Da’wah or going for Jihad. Each Deed has a certain reward. Beyond Fard (compulsory) actions, be selective to pick any deed, which gives MAXIMUM rewards from Allah.

3C: No Limits

There is no limit of how much assets you can to acquire. In fact the people of heaven will feel sorry (not for anything except) for the time spent in this world without any Deed. [S11]

3D: Pre-Conditions of Acceptance of Deeds

Any deed will be acceptable to Allah if these 5 pre-conditions are met:

Pre-Conditions of Acceptance of Deeds

#: Not 51% as some misconception. Do not gamble with your Akherat.

Explanations:

• Must be a Muslim (must believe in Allah, Last Messenger -Muhammad, Qur’an, Last day, etc.) [S12-13]
• Belief in the ONENESS of God without associating partners with Him, this is a MUST EVEN if you are a Muslim) [S14-17]
• Eat legal (only 100% Halal, not 51%) food. No good deeds are acceptable to Allah if your food is haram. You are responsible for this without any excuse. [S18-19]
• All deeds according to Qur’an and Sunnat [S20]
• Intention of 100% for the satisfaction of Allah ONLY) [S21-24]

4. Roadmap to Heaven…..

4A. First Stop

First STOP here: If you do not meet these 5 conditions, do not proceed any further. You must qualify to start; otherwise you will waste your time and energy!!! Since Muhammad (SAW) is the last Messenger from the Same God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, you must accept the truth revealed and brought by Muhammad (SAW) . Otherwise you cannot qualify to go to heaven. This is a prerequisite. You cannot rely or believe on any other holy books, any other prophet.

Since 610AD (after Muhammad (SAW) became LAST prophet) till the last day of this world, the only acceptable religion to Allah is the final/latest religion, Islam brought by Muhammad (SAW) through the final holy revealed book: Qur’an. If you believe in any other religion, any other old holy book, you MUST switch to Islam [25-28]. See all holy verses from the SAME God in Qur’an to verify. Life after death is forever whether one goes to heaven or hell. You should accept the truth as soon as possible and act accordingly to buildup your assets. The example is like this: if a person is illegal in the USA (no status), he can stay illegally without being caught for many years, but his duration of stay is not counted towards his status. On the other hand if he is legal (say a green card holder), after 5 years, he can qualify to become a US citizen. In the same manner, if you do not meet those five conditions, none of your good deeds are acceptable to Allah. You can pretend or hope without any guarantee. So, before your account of good deeds starts ticking, make sure you meet these 5 conditions. This is your responsibility. Each person is individually responsible. No one can help you. Only your acceptance of TRUTH and good deeds will help. You should check them NOW, not before your death, not on the Day of Judgment. You cannot come back. It is a one-way street.

4B: Proceed if Conditions are Fulfilled

Are you ready now? Did you fix those 5 conditions? If you are sure, then proceed. This checking should be done for the rest of your life. You are responsible, and you have to face it on the Day of Judgment; do not rely or make any compromise from any person’s rulings. It is you who must face the consequences. You must be 100% sure. In this world you need to be 100% sure on many things before you proceed such as---valid passport, valid air ticket, valid driver’s license, etc, to name a few. When police stops you for speeding, you can’t say, I did not see the speed limit sign. It is your responsibility to know before you drive. Dealing with Allah must be taken seriously. You cannot fool Him. You cannot by-pass Him. You cannot avoid Him. You will face Him sooner or later. The stakes are very high for eternity. You cannot come back to this world to do it again after you find out that you are wrong on the Day of Judgment!!! Check and test here now.

4C. Second Stop

The Second stop is for people to avoid those conditions, which Allah and Rasul (SAW) said that if anyone does such act, they will NEVER enter heaven, hell fire is a MUST for him/her. None of us should be in those situations. If you fall in these categories; your good deeds cannot help or simply will not be counted. Here are some of them:

1. Eat Haram, Dress haram, Body nourished with haram [S29-30]
2. Acquire Knowledge (Ilm) for worldly gain. [S31]
3. People with Arrogance in Heart [S32]
4. Breaks Ties with Relatives [S33]
5. A Tale Spreader [S34-35]
6. Wrongfully Acquired a Muslim’s Belongings no matter how small it may be. [S36]
7. Did not perform Hajj though he had Means to do so. [S37]

10. Prayer not Accepted if Zakat is not paid. [S39]

12. Harm Neighbor. [S41-42]
13. Abuse a Muslim. [S43-45]
14. One who is in charge on people but cheated/deceived people [S46]
15. Avaricious (extreme desire for wealth) person. [S38, 47]
16. Most hated to Allah - One who quarrels and argues the most [S48]

5: Relative Load Factors of Good Deeds

Disclaimer: All these numbers discussed below are for comparative analysis only. Only Allah Knows the actual rewards. He can forgive anyone, punish anyone. It is up to you to prepare yourself and seriously ponder on how to proceed based on Qur’an and Sunnah.

• Relative Load Factors are rough estimates, not actual or absolute values. Use as a reference only. Estimate is based on the amount of (a) TIME, (b) EFFORT/SACRIFICE, and (c) BENEFIT to MUSLIM COMMUNITY as compared to Fajr Salat. Use these numbers as guidelines.

Important Tip: You may not be able to go to Jerusalem, Madinah, Makkahh, but you have the option from anywhere in the world to get comparable/more rewards (**) with Da’wah. Details discussed later.

5B: Major Deeds (Community based* activity gets higher rewards)

• Help a Muslim: ~ 3,000-5,000

(Try to help a Muslim = 10 years of I’tekaf @ Masjid-e-Nabawi
= Hell-fire distances 8.5 million years away) [S109] (Reward for
ACTUAL help = Allah Knows)

(Depends on fikr, Depth of knowledge on the condition of Muslims, how much you are actually doing about it, etc.).

5E: Why is Da’wah Highly Rewarded?

• Da’wah is called the Mother of all Deeds. When Da’wah is active in an area, other activities grow such a more Masjids, more Musallins, more Madrasas, more Islamic schools, more Daul-Ulooms, More Hajis, more Zakat, etc. Rasul (SAW) said to give Da’wah even if you know a single ayat of Qur’an [S69]. Rasul (SAW) is the Last Messenger and his prophethood is for the entire universe till the last day of the world. As Muslims, we must do Da’wah, which he left with us to continue.
• Let us calculate (estimate) some rewards to see how much Allah is willing to pay you for Da’wah. See few references. [S69-97]



Calculate (estimate) some rewards



Multiply your Rewards (as much as you want) Through Da’wah Forever…..

• All Deeds are multiplied by up to 700,000 times. [S71]
• One Morning or Evening in the path of Allah is better than the world and all that it contains. [S70]
• Headache in the path of Allah forgives all past sins. [S77]
• No other deed can be better than Jihad itself in getting Allah’s closeness. [S50]
• The hell-fire smoke cannot come in contact with the Dayee. [S88-90]. This means he/she can’t go to hell.
• Lailatul Qadr (LQ) (during Ramadan) =1,000 months of good deeds. [S128]. In Makkah it is 100,000 times increased = 100,000,000 months of good deeds, which equals 8.3 million years. A person goes for Da’wah for a short time (say few hours) gets more than 8.3 million years of good deeds. [S73]. You don’t have to wait for Ramadan to find LQ or go to Makkah to get more. You can get more rewards throughout the year from anywhere simply by going for Da’wah. No one can beat that price!!!
• A person who stays home with his family and perform all kinds of good deeds throughout his/her life. He/she generates big assets. The second person goes for Da’wah for a short time (say few hours) will earn more than the first person. [S74].
• These are few examples. You can’t compete with a Dayee (gives Da’wah) nor can you catch him/her with any Deed! You need to go yourself to get such big rewards. These rewards are available for anybody, anytime, anywhere. For details of Da’wah, see Reference-1, Chapter-C.

5F: Super Deeds

All deeds described in 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, and 5E are defined as individual Deed load factors. You cannot always perform all these Deeds all the time. If you want to maximize your asset of accumulation (greedy for Akherat), then you can do Super Deeds like the followings.

• Engage yourself in Da’wah most of the time.
• (Highest rewards)
.
• Combine and perform several Deeds together. For example:

Da’wah + Da’wah Center Development + Write an Islamic Book

• Make your own combination, which fits your situation. Be smart. Allah’s treasure is unlimited. Take as much as you want. Get engaged every moment. The idle brain is the devil’s workshop! Never be without any action. Never be contented with what you are doing for Akherat. Budget your time and plan ahead of time.
• Parallel Processing: If you are not in Da’wah, then choose the Next Best Deed, which is usually community based; or choose several of them. I know one Dayee who does 5 things at the same time all the time such as: Talking on the phone giving Da’wah, writing a letter, faxing the letter, responses to email, fikr and concern for Muslims in mind while doing everything, looking at the conditions of Muslims worldwide in the headlines, etc. This is just an example. You can be very innovative and with the help of Allah you can accomplish many things at the same time. That is how the Barakat of time and money works. It is said that people use only 5% of their brainpower. 95% is sitting idle. You can do many things more than what you actually do. Make your own package and act accordingly. Then try to add more and do it. Think deeply, twine them to optimize activities.
• Look at the activities of Rasul (SAW) during 23 years. How much he accomplished in so many areas so quickly and left. The mind is a terrible thing to waste. It has unlimited potential. There is always room for Da’wah + Da’wah Center Development + Write an Islamic Book improvement on what you are doing. You have to open your mind and see…find them, cut them, sort them, organize them, streamline them, update them, record them……..continuously. [S129]
• Intentions: If you cannot find anything to do during any moment, still you can generate lots of Deeds. You can make lots of Intentions on good deeds [S21-24, 130], plans on good deeds, fikr for ummat, ponder on how can you participate in Da’wah, help Muslims, etc. This was the fikr and concern of Rasulullah (SAW) all the time. [S129]
• Prepare: If you have absolutely nothing to do, then exercise; build your body and soul. Do not oversleep or overeat or be a couch potato. Get prepared for Da’wah next moment, go to masjid. The Sahabas used to raise horses and camels with intentions to use them for Jihad.

6: How to avoid Bankruptcy in the Life Hereafter

See for yourself in the table below how costly it is to pay in the Day of Judgment. If you use this formula, calculate yourself: how many rakats of salat you have in your life (assuming you comply with Stop#1, 2 and 3 to start accumulating) and if you owe someone a few dollars, all your life’s salats will be needed to pay in Akherat!!!

Worldly Debt you can pay in Akherat with Salat

*Assume you prayed daily 5 salats, Ramadan Tarawih, Eid, nafl, etc. from age 10, you can generate ~ 13,000 rakats/year. Real numbers will vary Debt ~ 750 rakats of Salat ~ 25 Days Salat slightly from person to person. From the table it shows that: if you are 25, you will need all your salats to pay off $8 worldly debt and so on. Now think about the violation of other bigger rights and how you will pay since you just used up your salat!!!

Think of other violation of rights, backbiting, etc, and how you will pay for them. See [S117-118] for details on backbiting.

7. How to Get Sins Converted into Good Deeds?

There are some instances when Allah will exchange your sins with good deeds. You can do it in this world, not hereafter. Try to perform those Deeds. Here are some examples…

How to Get Sins Converted into Good Deeds?

8. Calculate your Asset Before You Leave this World

Many people are busy performing good deeds, active in Islamic activities, running Masjids, Madrasa, etc. They fail to eat halal (these days it is very difficult) foods, mix halal with haram constantly without thinking of the consequences, and randomly violate rights…. and think that they will go to heaven. May Allah help us.

9: Areas of Fine Tuning (Extra Enhancement)

Then….you are on the right track. You can take certain steps besides going for Da’wah/Jihad to enhance your prospect for better Akherat. Here are a few items; if you adopt them, your opportunities will be much higher; you will be better off on the Day of Judgment. These are highly desirable. Most of the friends of Allah are careful in these small details.

9A. Intercession by Rasul (SAW)

On the Day of Judgment, Rasul (SAW) will plead to Allah for each of his follower’s forgiveness; he will serve water from House-e-Qauser well. Any person who drinks that water will never feel thirsty until he/she enters heaven. Angels will stop some people who were his followers but did not care about the Deen/Islam and were busy with their own worldly business. When Rasul will hear about this, he will say: go away, go away. Where will you go? Some people will receive his intercession.

14. Last Word

Caliph Harun-ur-Rashid (SAW) was passing through the streets of Baghdad with his wife and soldiers. There was a man in Baghdad named Bahlul. He was an ordinary person. People used to think he was a crazy person. Actually he was a friend of Allah. He stood on the side of the street and loudly said showing a torn piece of paper: Is there anyone who wants to buy heaven? Caliph did not bother to respond. But his wife asked Bahlul: How much is it? When he said some price, she took off her precious necklace and gave it to Bahlul to buy his paper. Bahlul took the necklace, sold it and distributed to the poor. Caliph was annoyed with this and rebuked her for her stupidity to buy a piece of torn paper with her precious necklace. She kept quite. At night, Caliph saw a dream: he was walking in a very beautiful garden, and then he saw a very beautiful palace in the garden. He saw his wife through the window inside the palace. He went to the door and asked her to open for him. She said: you cannot enter because it is mine, I bought it from Bahlul. Caliph started crying, his eyes were filled with tears. He woke up and saw his pillow got wet with his tears. In the morning, Caliph called for Bahlul. Bahlul came and said: are you going to punish me? Caliph said: I want to buy your heaven. Bahlul said: I cannot sell any more. You already saw it. Caliph said: How can I buy one? Bahlul said: Firm belief in the unseen Truth.

S02. When my followers will begin to adore worldly benefits, their hearts will be deprived of the dignity and love of Islam and when they stop preaching of truth and preventing transgression, they will be deprived of the blessings of the revelation and when they will abuse each other, they will fall from the esteem of Allah. (Tirmidhi).

S03. Rasulullah (SAW) said: If the world was worth a mosquito’s wing to Allah, He would not have given the disbeliever even a sip of water (Tirmidhi).

S04. By Allah! This world compared to the Hereafter is like one of you dipping his finger in the ocean and then observing the quality of water on it. (Muslim).

S05. When the People of Paradise have entered Paradise and the People of the Fire have entered the Fire, death will be brought and will be placed between the Fire and Paradise. And then, it will be slaughtered, and a call will be made (that), 'O people of Paradise, no more death! 0 people of the Fire, no more death.' So the people of Paradise will have happiness added to their previous happiness, and the people of the Fire will have sorrow added to their previous sorrow. (Bukhari)

S06. Your (ordinary) fire is one of 70 parts of the (Hell) Fire. Someone asked, "O Allah's Messenger! This (ordinary) fire would have been sufficient (to torture the disbelievers)." Allah's Messenger said, "The Fire (Hell) has 69 parts more than the ordinary (worldly) fire, each part is as hot as this (worldly) fire." (Bukhari, Muslim).

Then (Allah) surrounded it with adversities (adherence to Sariah, which at times is against personal desires) and ordered: O Jibrail! Go and visit it (again). So he went, saw it, and returned; then submitted: O my Rab! By Your Might and Honor, indeed I fear that none shall (be able to) enter it! Then, Rasulullah said: When Allah created the Fire (of hell), then He said: O Jibrail! Go and visit it! So he went and saw it, returned, and submitted: O my Rab! By Your Might and Honor, none shall hear about it except that he shall (strive to) avoid it! Then (Allah) surrounded it with carnal desires, and ordered: O Jibrail! Go and visit it (again)! So he went, saw it, and returned, then submitted: O my Rabb! By your Might, Honor, and Majesty; I fear that none shall (be able to) avoid it! (Abu Dawud).

When he had turned away, Nabi said: Anyone who wishes to see a man from among the people of paradise, he may look at this man. (Bukhari).

Accordingly, they will be taken out from the Fire, blackened (by it). They will be cast into the River of Life from where they shall sprout afresh, as a seed sprouts on the bank of a torrential stream. Have you not seen how it comes out yellow and curved? (Bukhari).

Allah Ta’ala will say: You have lied, you acquired knowledge to be called learned, and you recited the Qur’an to be Qari (reciter of the Qur’an); so you have been called such. Command will then be issued about him. He will be dragged on his face, until cast into the fire.

In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell forever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)? (Muhammad:15).

P05. Verily for the righteous there will be a fulfillment of desires, gardens enclosed, and grapevines; companions of equal age; and a cup full. No vanity shall they hear therein, nor untruth; recompense from your Lord, a Gift, sufficient, - (from) the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all between, - (Allah) Most Gracious: none shall have power to argue with Him. The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and he will say what is right. (An-Naba:31-38).

P06. The First People to Enter Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: On the Day of Resurrection, I will come to the gate of paradise and ask for it to be opened. The gatekeeper will ask: Who are you and I will answer: Muhammad. Then he will say: you are the one before whom I was ordered not to open the gate for anyone. (Muslim).

P07. The First Group to Enter Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: The first group of people to enter paradise will be shining like the full moon, and the next group will be shining like the brightest star. They will pass neither urine nor stools nor mucus, neither will they spit. Their combs will be made of gold, their sweat will be musk and their incense-burners will be made of aloe wood. Their companions will be al-Hur al-Ayn. Their hearts will be as the heart of a single man. They will be in the image of Adam, his height being 60 cubits.

P08. The Gates of Paradise: Whoever spends in the way of Allah, will be called from the gates of paradise: O slave of Allah, this is good. Whoever performs Salat will be called from the gate of salat. Whoever performs Jihad will be called from the gate of Jihad. Whoever fasts will be called from the gate of Al-Rayyan. Whoever gives charity will be called from the gate of Charity. Abu Bakr said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! Whoever is called from these gates need not fear, but is there anyone who will be called from all of them? Rasul (SAW) said: Yes, and I hope the you (Abu Bakr) will be one of them.

P09. There is no death in Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: When the people of Paradise enter paradise, a voice will call out to them: You will live and never die; you will remain healthy and never fall ill; you will remain young and never grow old; you will enjoy a life of ease and never suffer. (Muslim).

P10. Different Levels of Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, and establishes regular prayer and fast Ramadan, will be admitted by Allah to paradise, whether he migrated for the sake of Allah or remained in the land of his birth. The companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! Shall we tell the people about this? He said: In paradise there are 100 levels, which Allah has allocated to those who strive in Jihad for His sake. The distance between each two of these levels is like the distance between the heavens and the earth. If you ask anything of Allah, ask Him for al-Firdous al-A’la, for it is in the center of paradise and its highest point; above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it flow the rivers of paradise. (Bukhari).

P11. The People of Paradise

P12. The Women of Paradise: If any of the women of paradise were to look towards the people of earth, she would illuminate the space between the heavens and the earth, and fill it with perfume. The veil on her head is better than the world and all that is in it. (Bukhari).

P14B: The Tents, Gardens and Soil of Paradise

P14C: The Trees of Paradise

P14D: The Market of Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: In paradise there is a market, which the people will go to every Friday. A wind will come from the North and blow dust into their faces and clothes. This will increase their beauty, and they will return to their wives thus increased in beauty. Their wives will say: You have increased in beauty since we last saw you. And they will say: You too have increased in beauty since we last saw you. (Muslim).

P14E: The Palaces of Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: I entered paradise where (I found myself) in a palace of gold. I said: Whose is this? They said: It is for a man from Quresh. I thought that I was he, and I said, Who is he? They said: Umar ibn al-Khattab. Nothing stopped me from entering it - O son of alKhattab- except what I know of your jealousy (regarding his family and womenfolk).

P14F: The Rivers of Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: I entered paradise and found myself standing in a river. I struck the water flowing in it with my hand, and found it was the finest-smelling musk. I asked: what is this, O Jibrail? He said: It is al-Kawthar which Allah has given you.

P15.The Greatest Blessings in Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: When the people of paradise enter paradise, and the people of hell, enter hell, a voice will call out to them: O people of paradise, Allah has made a promise to you, which He wishes to fulfill. They will say: What is it? Has Allah not increased (the weight of good deeds in the) balance, and whitened our faces, admitted us to paradise and saved us from the fire? Then the veil will be lifted and they will see Him. By Allah, Allah has not given them anything more dearly and precious to them than that they should see Him.

P16.The People with the Lowest and Highest Status in Paradise: Rasul (SAW) said: Musa said to his Lord: Who has the lowest position in paradise? Allah said: It is a man who will come, after the people of paradise have entered paradise, and will be told: Enter paradise. He will say: How is that, O my Lord, when the people have already taken the positions and rewards to which they are entitled? He will be asked: Would you not like to have the equivalent of the kingdom of one of the kings of the world? He will say: I would be satisfied with that, O my Lord. Allah will say: You will have that. Then this exchange will be repeated 4 times, and on the 5th time, the man will say: I would be satisfied with that O my Lord and Allah will say: This is for you, and tenfold besides. You will have what your heart desires. The man will say: I am satisfied with this. Musa said: O my Lord, who has the highest position in paradise? Allah said: Those whom I have chosen, and I have prepared the reward for them with My own hands and sealed it, and no eye has seen, or ear has heard, nor has it occurred to the human heart. (Muslim).

Roadmap to Paradise……

In this world, we are constantly looking and checking price of every thing we deal with and decide accordingly…what to buy, what sell, etc. We are very particular about the worldly affairs; we take care of every small detail.

There is also price for Akherat… Grave, Day of Judgment, Bridge, Heave or Hell. If the price is RIGHT, you will be able to overcome difficulties and punishments and eventually enter into Paradise and live forever. There is no quick or magic solution. Allah and His Rasul (SAW) has laid down the ground rules. This book describes step by step the roadmap to paradise. If you are serious to be successful in the life hereafter, you should seriously plan, act, avoid pitfalls, build asset, pray to Allah, etc. There is no second chance. You can not come back to this world and correct your past mistakes. Ask Allah to forgive your past mistakes, settle with those whose rights you have violated. You must do it right, be fully prepared to face Allah and give accounts of your deeds. You can’t deny them. Your lips will be seale d. All your body parts will speak to give witness. You cannot fool Him. You cannot by-pass Him. You cannot avoid Him. You will face Him sooner or later. The stakes are very high for eternity. So, if you are smart then be prepared.

As it is shown in the book, Da’wah/Jihad for the cause of Allah carry highest rewards. Try to organize yourself to actively participate in Da’wah as much as you can and build your asset. May Allah help us all and make us big winners in the hereafter.
