The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Some gates of Jannah (Paradise) in Islam

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"He who spends a pair in the way of Allah will be called from the gates of Jannah:

`O slave of Allah! This gate is better for you' and one who is constant in Salat (prayer), will be called from the Gate of Salat;

and whoever is eager in fighting in the Cause of Allah, will be called from the Gate of Jihad;

and who is regular in observing Saum will be called from Ar-Raiyan Gate.

The one who is generous in charity will be called from the Gate of Charity.''


Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu anhu) said:"O Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)! May my mother and father be sacrificed for you! Those who are called from these gates will stand in need of nothing. Will anybody be called from all of those gates?''

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
"Pair'' means two; in other channels of transmission, it has been explained thus: "They asked him, `Pair of what?' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, `A pair of horses, cows or camels'.'' "Pair'' in this Hadith, however, can be all-inclusive; i.e., fasting two days or performing two prayers, etc. This Hadith also mentions special distinction of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (Radhiallahu anhu) and the esteem in which he was held by the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam). It also transpires from this Hadith that one can praise such a person right on his face about whom one does not fear that it will make him proud. This Hadith has also an inducement for giving in Sadaqah two instead of a single item.

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.35

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha), who said : the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said :

"Do not envy one another; do not inflate prices one to another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from one another; and do not undercut one another, but be you, O slaves of Allah, brothers. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he neither oppresses him nor disgraces him, he neither lies to him nor does he hold him in contempt. Piety and righteousness is here - and he pointed to his breast three times. It is evil enough for a man to hold his brother Muslim in contempt. The whole of a Muslim for another Muslim is inviolable: his blood, his property, and his honor."

When Ramadan begins, the gates of Jannah are opened

The Merits of Ablution (Wudu')

`Umar bin Al-Khattab (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (SalAllahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"Whoever of you performs Wudu' carefully and then affirms:

`Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallahu Wahdahu la sharika Lahu, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa Rasuluhu

[I testify that there so no true god except Allah Alone, Who has no partners and that Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is His slave and Messenger],'

the eight gates of Jannah are opened for him. He may enter through whichever of these gates he desires (to enter).''

[Muslim]


In the narration in At-Tirmidhi, it is added: "Allahummaj-`alni minat-tawwabina, waj-`alni minal-mutatahhirin (O Allah make me among those who repent and purify themselves).''


Commentary:
Tahur means Wudu' which is the foremost condition for Salat. One is not permitted to perform Salat without Wudu' in the prescribed manner. Wudu' is regarded as "half of the Salat'' and this principle makes its importance clear.

Do you want to enter Paradise through the gate called Ar-Raiyan

Sahl bin Sa`d (Radhiallaho anha): The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"In Jannah there is a gate which is called Ar-Raiyan through which only those who observe Saum (fasting) will enter on the Day of Resurrection. None else will enter through it. It will be called out, "Where are those who observe fasting?'' So they will stand up and proceed towards it. When the last of them will have entered, the gate will be closed and then no one will enter through that gate.''

[Muslim]

Commentary:
This Hadith tells us about the special distinction of those who observe Saum. "Only those who observe Saum'' signify the faithful who not only observe Saum during the month of Ramadan but also frequently observe voluntary fasts over and above the obligatory ones, otherwise Saum of Ramadan are compulsory for every Muslim.

Full of Praise and Glorification of Allah (SWT) - highly meritorious and rewarding

Recitation of words quoted in this Hadith is highly meritorious & rewarding

Please note these words and recite it whenever you can,

and may Allah (SWT) reward you.

Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith (RadhiAllahu 'anha) reported, the Mother of the Believers: The Prophet ﷺ came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He ﷺ came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you still in the same position as I left you.'' I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said,

"I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are:

"سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ: عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ،

 وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ، وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ".

Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, `adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinatah `arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi

[Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise)].''

[Sahih Muslim - Book 035 - Hadith 6575]


Commentary:
The recitation of the words quoted in this Hadith is highly meritorious and rewarding because they are full of Praise and Glorification of Allah.

Gold and Silk are Forbidden for the Males

Seek refuge in Allah from evil which I have done and not done

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) used to supplicate (in these words):

"Allahumma inni audhu bika min sharri ma `amiltu, wa min sharri ma lam a`mal
(O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evil of that which I have done and the evil of that which I have not done)."

[Muslim]

Commentary:
This prayer is also very comprehensive. Sometimes a person does a virtuous deed but it is tainted with slight hypocrisy or pride. It is an element which destroys even the most virtuous deeds. It is this mischief against which Allah's Protection has been sought through this prayer.
