According to Qurán-
“And no soul knows what is hidden for them for the
comfort of their eyes as a reward for what they used to do.” (As-Sajdah:
17)
"Surely on that day, the inhabitants of
Paradise will be busy with joy. They and their spouses would be in the cool
shade, reclining on couches. There is fruit for them and they will get whatever
they want. and "Peace!" They will be greeted by the Merciful
Lord." (Ya-sin: 55-58)
"The Paradise promised to the righteous is
described as having rivers of sweet water, rivers of milk whose taste never
changes, rivers of delicious wine, and rivers of pure honey. There will be for
them all kinds of fruits and forgiveness from their Lord." (Muhammad: 15)
3 simple deeds for everyone to get sure Paradise
Prophet
(saw) has announced 3 simple deeds for everyone to get sure of Paradise. The
reward of that deed is only Paradise. The deeds are very simple for everyone.
What are the deeds?
Allah
Ta'ala has made it obligatory/fard to pray 5 times a day. Ablution is necessary for
prayer. The first deed is associated with wudu. The call to prayer is given
five times a day. The second deed is related to Azan. It is mentioned in the
hadith that the third deed should be performed after returning the Salam of the
Fard prayer.
One
of these three deeds has a wonderful similarity with the other. A believing
Muslim listens attentively to the Azan, responds to it, and prays. Performs
ablution for prayer. After the obligatory prayer, return to Salam and perform
Ayatul Kursi regularly. The special reward of these three deeds is eternal
Paradise. The details of the deeds are-
i. Answering the Azan
As
soon as it is time for prayer, the muezzin gives the adhan. It is obligatory to
listen attentively during the muezzin's call to prayer and to respond. So while
listening attentively to the azan, its answer is the announcement of paradise.
It is mentioned in the hadith-
Hazrat
Omar Ibnul Khattab (RA) narrates that Messenger (saw) said If any of you say
what the muezzin calls to prayer –
a.
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar is answered by Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar and
b.
Ashhadu al-la ilaha illallah in reply to Ashhadu al-la ilaha illallah and
c.
Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasulullah's answer Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasulullah
said, then
d.
If the answer to Hayya Alas-Salah says “La Hawla Wala Quwata Illa Billah” then
e.
In response to Hayya Alal-Falah if La Hawla Wala Quwata Illa Billah says,
f.
Then if the answer to Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar say Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, and
g.
If he says La-ilaha illallah in response to La-ilaha illallah then he will
enter Paradise.' (Abu Dawud, Muslim)
Hazrat
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrates, once we were with Rasulullah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam. Then Hazrat Belal Radiyallahu Anhu stood up and gave the call
to prayer. When Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped (from the
call to prayer), the Messenger of Allah, May God bless him and grant him peace,
said, "Whoever says this (Hazrat Bilal) with firm belief will enter
Paradise." (Nasa'i, Meshkat)
ii. Recitation of Kalema Shahadah
Ablution
is a condition for prayer. No prayer without ablution. Allah Almighty ordered
the servant to perform ablution. According to the Holy Qur'an-
'O,
believers! When you want to stand for your prayer, then (first) wash your
entire face. Wash both hands including elbows. Masquerade the head and wash
both feet up to the ankles. (Surah Maida: Verse 6)
In
the hadith, the 8 doors of Jannah/Paradise are open for the reciter of Kalema Shahadat
after performing ablution as follows-
Hazrat
Umar Ibnul Khattab (RA) narrates that Messenger (saw) said that any Muslim
after performing ablution properly (Kalema Shahadah) says:
Ashhadu
Allah Illaha Illallahu wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasuluhu'
"I
bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I further bear witness that
(Hazrat) Muhammad (may peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger" -
the eight doors of Paradise will be opened for him. He will enter it through
any door he wishes.' (Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, Musnad Ahmad)
iii. Reading Ayatul Kursi
After
five daily fard prayers, the Sunnah practice is to read Ayatul Kursi. According
to the guidance of the hadith, the only difference between the regular doer and
Paradise will be death. It is mentioned in the hadith-
Hazrat
Abu Umama (RA) narrates that Messenger (saw) said, "Whoever recites Ayatul
Kursi after every fard prayer, there will be no obstacle for that person to
enter Paradise except death.' (Bukhari, Nasa'i, Tabarani)
Conclusion
A believing Muslim will hear and respond to the azan every time every day, perform ablution and pray, and perform the deeds declared in the hadith, and he will be got sure of paradise. May Allah Ta'ala grant the Muslim Ummah the Tawfiq to regularly perform these three deeds. Grant the Tawfiq to become the owner of eternal paradise by doing these deeds.
