How a woman can enter Paradise by any of the gates

The Prophet of Allah (Sallallāhu alayhi wa sallam) said: 

“If a woman prays her five (daily prayers), 
fasts her month (Ramadan),
guards her chastity and 
obeys her husband,

it will be said to her: ‘Enter Paradise by whichever of the gates of Paradise you wish.'”


Musnad Imam Ahmad (No. 1664)

Classed as hasan by al-Albani because of another report in Saheeh al-Targheeb, as stated by al-Arna’oot in Takhreej al-Musnad.

Every night Allah descends to the nearest heaven

Narrated Abu Huraira, Prophet of Allah (Sallallāhu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Every night when it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Superior, the Blessed, descends to the nearest heaven and says: Is there anyone to invoke Me that I may respond to his invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone asking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?." 

[Sahih Bukhari - Book #93, Hadith #586]

Supplication of Prophet Yunus (as) when he was in belly of the whale

Ibrãhim bin Muhammad bin Sa'd narrated from his father, from Sa'd, that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallāhu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"The supplication of Dhun-Nun [Prophet Yunus (as)] when he supplicated, while in the belly of the whale was:

لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ 

La Ilãha lila Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Minazalimin

'There is none worthy of worship except You, Glory to You. Indeed, I have been of the transgressors.'

So indeed, no Muslim man supplicates with it for anything, ever, except Allah responds to him."

[ Tirmidhi 3505 - Sahih ]


This is a supplication in the Quran, which was asked by Yunus (as) inside the belly of the whale in Surah Al-Anbiya (21) verses 87 and 88 as follows:

And remember Dhu al Nun, when he departed in wrath: he imagined that We had no power over him! but he cried through the depths of darkness "There is no god but Thou: Glory to Thee: I was indeed wrong!" (87) So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith. (88)
