 ﷽

*What Every Person Needs To Know About Jannah (Paradise)*


*Episode 4*


*The First People to Enter Paradise*


The first of mankind to enter Paradise will be our Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi 

Wasalam) and the first nation to enter Paradise will be his Ummah. The first member of this 

Ummah to enter will be Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (Radi-Allahu Anhu).


Ibn Katheer quotes a number of Hadith [an-Nihayah, 2/213] that state this such as the report of Muslim from Anas (Radi-Allahu Anhu) according to which the Messenger of Allah 

(Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, "I will be the first one to knock at the gates of Paradise".

Muslim also reported from Anas (Radi-Allahu Anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (Salallahu 

Alayhi Wasalam) said: "I will come to the gates of paradise and ask for it to be opened. 

The gatekeeper will ask, "Who are you?" I will say, "Muhammad". The gatekeeper will 

say, "I was ordered not to open the gate for anyone else before you"".

al-Bukhaari, Muslim and an-Nasaa'ee report from Abu Hurayrah (Radi-Allahu Anhu) that the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said: "We are the last, but we will be the first on the Day of Resurrection. We will be the first of mankind to enter Paradise".

Abu Dawood reports from Abu Hurayrah (Radi-Allahu Anhu) that the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, "Jibreel came to me, and showed me the gate of Paradise through 

which my ummah will enter". Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi 

Wasalam ), would that I had been with you to see it!". The Messenger of Allah (Salallahu 

Alayhi Wasalam) "But you, O Abu Bakr, will be the first of my ummah to enter Paradise".

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
