Combining the hadith "None of you will enter Paradise by his deeds" with the verse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
(peace and blessings be upon him), how do we reconcile the hadith of the Messenger and His saying, the Exalted, "You will enter Paradise," with shirk (associating partners with Allah) [At-Tur 52:19]
The Shaykh:
by the causes of your deeds. Allah made entry into Paradise by the causes of one's righteous deeds, and entry into the Fire by the causes of one's evil deeds. And His saying, peace and blessings be upon him, means there is an exchange, the chapter of exchange. It is not his deed that is the obligating factor, but rather the obligating factor is the favor of Allah, His mercy, His bestowing, His generosity, and His bounty. And our deeds are causes, meaning our deeds are causes. This is what he said, peace and blessings be upon him, meaning by virtue of his deed, but by the favor of Allah, His mercy, and His kindness, He made our deed a cause, as a favor from Him, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The negative youth. And the negative in the ear, so we must his work must be on the exchange.
The questioner:
Who says, O Shaykh, that entry into Paradise is by mercy and the difference in ranks. No.
The Shaykh:
Perhaps the speech is what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified: the entry of people into Paradise is by the mercy of Allah, His mercy, His generosity, and His bounty, and their righteous deeds are the causes.
