THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 15th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1444AH. (Tuesday, 11th of October 2022).

3 CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE TO PARADISE. BismilLah. 

The people of Paradise are of 3 types as mentioned in the verse below:

“ALLAH gave the BOOK, the QURAN) for inheritance to such of Our slaves whom ALLAH chose Then of them are some who wrong their own selves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by ALLAH'S Leave, foremost in good deeds. That (inheritance of the Quran), that is indeed a great grace.” (35:32). 

Those who wrong themselves – They have mixed their righteous actions with their evil deeds.

As ALLAAH says: “They have mixed a deed that was righteous with another that was evil” (9:102). 

From them are those who will enter Jannah out of the Mercy of ALLAAH. Others will enter the Fire for a while and then ALLAAH will exit them from the Fire and enter them into Jannah by way of the Tawheed that they are upon. This is where righteous actions begin, with Tawheed, before any other actions.

Those who are upon the middle way – They are righteous people. Those who perform the obligations, avoid the forbidden affairs but they do not give great importance to the extra and voluntary deeds

Those who are first and foremost in righteous actions – They are the greatest of the people. They are those who perform all of the obligations, they avoid the forbidden affairs, they perform the voluntary deeds and stay away from the ‘Makroohaat’ (The disliked affairs).

Knowing these categories should be a means of encouragement to try and be from the third and greatest type. May ALLAH aid us to be among those who are successful. Aameen.
