﷽
Belief (ايمان) and Deeds (عمل)
Allah ﷻ says in Surah Qaf
ٱدْخُلُوهَا
Enter you therein
meaning Paradise,
بِسَلَٰمٍۢ
in peace and security
Meaning, they will earn security from the torment of Allah ﷻ and the angels of Allah ﷻ will greet them with the Salam, according to the explanation of Qatadah. The statement of Allah ﷻ
ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلْخُلُودِ
..this is a Day of eternal life!
[50:34]
meaning, they will reside in Paradise forever and will never die, neither be transferred from it nor wish to be transferred from it.
Allah ﷻ says in the next ayah:
لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ فِيهَا
There they will have all that they desire
means, whatever delights they wish and desire, they will find it brought before them.
وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌۭ
and We have more.
[50:35]
In another surah Allah ﷻ says:
لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَزِيَادَةٌۭ ۖ
For those who have done good is the best and even more.
[10:26]
In the Sahih, Muslim recorded that Suhayb bin Sinan Ar-Rumi said that `more’ refers to looking at the Most Honorable Face of Allah ﷻ.
_
One of the best feelings is the feeling that you are being called to Jannah! Saved from Hellfire! Being Able to see Allah ﷻ!
_
If I asked you, do you want this?
There isn’t anybody who would refuse!
_
Yet if I asked,
Who is willing to sacrifice their most beloved possession in the Dunya,
How many of you would give it up without hesitation?
_
Reflect and Repent!
We say we want Jannah, we want to please Allah ﷻ!
Yet when the situation goes against our desires and for the command of our Rabb,
We falter, we stutter and we turn on our heels!
_
We will never earn Jannah nor the pleasure of Allah ﷻ in this way.
_
If the Knowledge won’t give a little until you give your whole self,
How much Jannah do you expect without giving anything?
Didn’t Allah ﷻ say
لِمِثْلِ هَٰذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ ٱلْعَٰمِلُونَ
For the likes of this, let the workers work.
[37:61]
_
Why did Allah ﷻ use the word work? And not Believe?
_
Because Belief is affirmed in Action, in عمل.
Belief is given Daleel and Substance with the عمل.
_
You want Jannah?
You want to see Allah ﷻ?
Strive for it with Effort!
