Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: You mentioned, O my father, that everyone who enters Paradise will have whatever they desire, and that there are ranks among the people of Paradise. Did we switch the channel?
Answer:
They differ in rank by their righteous deeds. Indeed,[Al-Isra 17:21] they differ by their righteous deeds, not by lineage or wealth, but by their righteous deeds.

Answer:
They differ in rank by their righteous deeds. 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
