Paradise: Dwellings According to Deeds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Is Paradise on a single level, or does it vary in honor and dwellings?
Paradise is not all the same; rather, it is according to deeds.By the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): [Al-An'am: 132] And because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, in Paradise there are one hundred degrees which Allah has prepared for those who strive in His cause" People vary in their deeds, so it is part of the perfection of the justice of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that they vary in reward. However, the bliss of Paradise is, in a general sense, complete in all respects (therein is what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what has not come into the heart of any human being) Read the mention of the dwellings of the Gardens at the end of Surat al-Rahman, where He said: [Al-Rahman: 46] Then He said after that: [Al-Rahman: 62] .
And these two Gardens, the first and the last, are also varied according to the deeds of people. Just as the Fire—may Allah protect us and you from it—has levels, some lower than others and more severe in punishment than others,And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed: "Indeed, the least of people in punishment in the Fire is the one who is in a shallow depth of fire and has two sandals from which his brain boils" .
Paradise is not all the same; rather, it is according to deeds.By the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He):
And for all are degrees from what they have done
وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجَاتٌ مِمَّا عَمِلُواBut for he who has feared the position of his Lord are two gardens -
وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِAnd below them both [in excellence] are two [other] gardens -
وَمِنْ دُونِهِمَا جَنَّتَانِAnd these two Gardens, the first and the last, are also varied according to the deeds of people. Just as the Fire—may Allah protect us and you from it—has levels, some lower than others and more severe in punishment than others,And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed: "Indeed, the least of people in punishment in the Fire is the one who is in a shallow depth of fire and has two sandals from which his brain boils" .
