The Qualities of Such Believers
Allah ﷻ says in Surah Mu’minoon about the Believers
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ
Those are the inheritors
Mujahid said Believers will inherit the homes of the disbelievers in Jannah.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
Those who shall inherit Jannah Al Firdaws and abide therein eternally.
[23:10-11]
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “If you ask Allah for Paradise, then ask him for Al-Firdaws,”
Ubadah ibn al-Samit reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said, “Paradise has one hundred levels and between each two levels is a distance like that between the heavens and earth. Al-Firdaws is its highest level, from which four rivers of Paradise flow and above which is the Throne. When you ask from Allah, ask for Al-Firdaws.”
[Musnad Aḥmad 22232, Grade: Sahih]
Why do they inherit Jannah Al Firdous?
Allah ﷻ says in the previous Ayaat 7 Qualities of those people:
- Successful are the believers.
Meaning they have belief in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Ambiya, The Last hour and His Qadr ﷻ - Those who have Khushoo in their Salah.
Meaning they have Fear and Tranquility in their Salah, can only attained when the heart detached from this Dunya. - And those who turn away from Al-Laghw
Meaning Shirk and Sin and things of no benefit are avoided. - And who are givers of Zak’ah.
Giving to the Poor through Zak’ah and Sadaqah is a means of purification from Sin - And who guard their private parts.
Meaning that those who stay away from Haram acts and only approach their wives and women that are permissible for them. - And those who are faithfully true to their Amanat and their covenants.
Meaning they do not betray trust and always stick to their pledge unlike the hypocrites. - And those who guard their Salah.
Meaning those who persistently offer their Salah at the appointed times.
This is what we should strive for in our quest to perfect ourselves in the eyes of Allah ﷻ.
[23:1-9]
Open the Mushaf and find out what your Rabb says about Jannah.
To sum up what we must do.
Allah ﷻ says in Surah Mutafiffin
وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
And for that let the aspirers aspire.
[83:26]
Ya Bani Adam! If you seek competition… Seek to compete in the abundance of Good deeds and Dhikr so that you all raise your ranks in the eyes of Allah ﷻ.
Is this not true success? May Allah ﷻ grant us Jannah Al Firdaws.
