How is the approach to Jannah must be...? Reasons why you deserve being in Jannah.
The greatest thing to do is Tawheed, the belief of the oneness of Allah, Almighty.
Allah has forbidden Jannah for those who worship another deity with him.
"Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise"
So the oneness of Allah, Almighty is
the most important reason...
by which you deserve being in Paradise..
everything else is a result of it...
You must have only Allah inside your heart... nothing else that you love...you fear..or you appeal [need]...except Allah.
You love ...fear...call Allah only... not any one else.
This level is granted to those who know Allah..
"And [yet], among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals [to Him]. They love them as they [should] love Allah ."
"But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah."
The first approach is to love Allah.
To have this kind of love for Allah inside your heart,
you need to keep remembering the grace of Allah that He blessed you with...by your heart.
By Allah, the greatest grace we have is secrecy...confidentiality
It is one of the most important and glorified favor we are blessed with from Allah.
If people are exposed to one another,
they would have repudiated each others
But Allah, Almighty covers worshippers, as a great bounty of Him..
And another great bounty of Allah is to guide them to do righteous deeds..
The sucess to be on that path..
is a sign and an indication that Allah, Almighty loves this particular slave!..
To know that...
This is clear no need for rhetoric or eloquence...
A person should inspect himself...watch it!
Suppose you missed to do night [Qiyam] prayer once...
remember your mistake at day time.
And suppose Allah guided you to do your night prayer once..
So this is because Allah liked to see you standing..
between His hands..
By Allah, when you walk... going to do ablution...your steps...
Allah washes out sins with it...
Then your steps going to pray [Salah]..
Then you stand between the hands of your Lord...
After starting praying with [Takberat Al-Ehram]...Make the Dua'a...
'I direct my face towards who created the Heavens and earth..
inclining toward truth, and I am not one of the polytheists.'
Say, "Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah , Lord of the worlds.
No partner has He...
And this I have been commanded, and I am the first [among you] of the Muslims."
Then Allah opens for you and you read Al-Fatiha..
Then you choose...from...
the verses of the Qur'an... some verses to recite..
Indeed, Allah loves to...
hear His speech from His slave..
It's alright if ...
if you recited...started with and repeated...
What Allah Almighty said in Surat Ash-Shu'ara:
" And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected "
"The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children"
"But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."
repeat it onece.. twice...thrice...
By Allah...
This verse..
Breaks hard hearts..
Because people fear disgrace on the Day of resurrection..
Allah said that this Dua'a was said by the father of this faith,
His beloved [Khalil], Ibrahim.
Read this verse... several times
"And do not disgrace me on the Day they are [all] resurrected"
" The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children"
"But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."
When you say:"do not disgrace me"...try to feel it..
It is on His Hand...
It is as He wishes...to elevate you or to disgrace you..
It is as He wishes...to bring you close ...or to put you away
It is as He wishes ...to put mercy upon you or to put disgrace..
No one holds for oneself [the power of] benefit or harm
It's all on the hand of Allah..
The recall of the Dua'as which was said by the prophets, is a teaching [Fiqh] of Qur'an.
Allah said in His Great Book:"Those are the ones whom Allah has guided"
" so from their guidance take an example."
People must observe the directions of the prophets of Allah...
How they used to make Dua'a to their Lord...
And follow their footsteps..
And observe their actions..
and do as they guide us..
For the sake of gaining mercy from Allah, Almighty
This is another big subject to talk about.
We are now focusing on the reasons for which...
people are guided ... and why they are granted Jannah
Do as much...of good deeds
Remembrance [Dhikr] of Allah...Fasting...Reciting Qur'an..
Honoring one's parents..
All that kind of things.. you all know..
But..
People have to do this kind of worship and that kind of worship..
Whatever would bring them closer and closer..
As much as possible..
You don't know which one would please the Lord more..
And be careful..
Don't harm Muslims... on their honor and dignity of privacy and sex...on their wealth...on their blood [life].
Sometimes..
The Satan causes us to slip..
while we are in our gatherings.. the private or the public ones..
We are taken by the nice converstions...and with no intentions..
While we are joking with our friends..
maybe one of the believers says a word about his brother..
a believer...and he knows that this thing is not the truth..
If such a thing happened
The least thing you can do is to ask forgiveness from your lord and repent.
And decide not to do this again.
