*The Levels of Paradise*

Evidence that Paradise has various levels and its inhabitants will be in different categories:

The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, narrated by al-Bukhaari from Abu Hurayrah 

(Radi-Allahu Anhu), "...Paradise has one hundred levels which Allah has reserved for the mujaahideen who fight in His Cause and the distance between each of the two grades is like the distance between the heavens and the earth. So when you ask Allah for something, 

ask for al-Firdaws which is the best and highest part of Paradise. Above it is the throne of the Most Merciful, and from it originate the rivers of Paradise". [al-Bukhaari in as-Saheeh, 

Kitaab al-Jihaad, Baab Darajat al-Mujaahideen fi Sabeelillaah, Fath al-Baari, 6/11]

al-Bukhaari also reports from Anas (Radi-Allahu Anhu) that Umm Harithah (Radi-Allahu 

Anha) came to the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) when her son Harithah (Radi-Allahu 

Anhu) had been martyred at Badr, killed by an arrow. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, you 

know how dear Harithah was to my heart. If he is in Paradise, I will not weep over him, but 

if he is not there, you will see what I do". He said, "Is there only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and he is in al-Firdaws, the Highest." [Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Kitaab ar-

Riqaaq, Baab Sifaat al-Jannah, wan-Naar, Fath al-Baari, 11/418]
