An Easy Way to Paradise By Muhammad Rafique Etesame

After death there are only two places for man, Paradise or the Hell. Paradise is very comfortable and luxury place and there are so many favors and blessings of God that no one can count them. The holy Qur’an reveals,” And give glad tidings (O Mohammad) unto those who believe and do good works; that there are Gardens underneath which rivers flow; as often as they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof; they say: This is what was given us aforetime; and it is given to them in resemblance; There, for them are pure companions; there forever they abide”. (Al-Baqarah: 25) Also the holy Qur’an reveals,” (And) those who believe and do good works are the best of created beings. Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they dwell forever. Allah hath pleasure in them and they have pleasure in Him. (This is (in store) for him who fearth his Lord. (Al-Bayyenah: 8 ) It has been clear now that every faithful believer should try his best to go to Paradise by good actions and this is the great success for a faithful believer. The holy Qur’an reveals,” Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to enter Paradise, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this world is but comfort of illusion. (Family of Imran: 185)

Abu Hurarah, a renowned companion (May God be pleased with him) narrated from the Holy Prophet (May peace and Mercy of Allah be upon him) He said,” when a Muslim removes any pain or trouble from another Muslim, then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala will remove his troubles and miserable conditions at the Day of Judgment in its reward, and when a Muslim turns his eyes away from the faults and defects of another Muslim, then Allah will set a veil over his sins and faults at the Day of Judgment. And when a Muslim solves the difficulties of another Muslim, Allah will solve his difficulties at the Day of Judgment in its reward, and Allah Helps that believer permanently who helps other believers, and when a Muslim goes out to get the knowledge for Islamic teachings, then Allah will make the way easy for him to Paradise in its reward. And when some Muslims gather in a mosque for reciting the Holy Qur’an or to teach it to other Muslims, then the peace comes down over them, and the Mercy of Allah covers them, and Angels gather around them, and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala mentions about these Muslims before the Angels that exist near Him. (Sahih Muslim)

The question is: what is the easy way to Paradise for a faithful believer?
So, these verses and the tradition of the holy Prophet (PBUH) reveal that the good actions of a Muslim will lead him to Paradise. For example, removing the pain and trouble from others, helping the poor and needy ones, paying the poor due and alms giving and to set a veil on other’s defects or flaws etc.
