Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: It was mentioned, O Shaykh, that everyone who enters Paradise will have whatever they desire, and that there are ranks among them in Paradise, but the distinction is by good deeds.
Answer:
Indeed,[Al-Isra 17:21] they are distinguished by good deeds, not by lineage or wealth, but rather by good deeds.
Honorable Shaykh, he says: It was mentioned, O Shaykh, that everyone who enters Paradise will have whatever they desire, and that there are ranks among them in Paradise, but the distinction is by good deeds.
Answer:
Indeed,
Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.
كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَلَلْآخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلًا
