*The Highest Position in Paradise*
The highest position in Paradise which will be attained by only one person is called al-
Waseelah. It will be attained, insha'Allah, by the Chosen Prophet, the best of Allah's creation,
our Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam ).
This is narrated in a hadith narrated by al-Bukhaari from Jaabir ibn 'Abdullaah (Radi-Allahu Anhu) according to which the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, "Whoever says, when he hears the call to prayer,
"Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-da'wati-tammah, was-salaatil-qaa'imah, aati muhammadan al-waseelata wal-fadeelata, wab'aththu maqaaman mahmoodan alladhi wa'adtahu."
[O Allah, Lord of this Perfect Call and the Prayer to be Offered, grant Muhammad al-Waseelah - the highest position in Paradise - and also the
eminence and resurrect him to the praised position You have promised], intercession for
him will be granted on the Day of Resurrection."
Muslim reported that 'Abdullaah ibn 'Amr al-'Aas (Radi-Allahu Anhu) said, "I heard the
Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) say, "When you hear the muaddhin call, say what he says, then send blessings on me, for whoever sends blessings on me, Allah
(Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) will return it to him tenfold. Then ask Allah to grant me al-
Waseelah, for whoever asks Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) to grant me al-Waseelah,
intercession will be granted for him.""
The Sahaabah asked the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) "What is al-Waseelah?" He
said, "It is the highest level of Paradise, which only one man will reach, and I hope that I
will be the one".[Ahmad from Abu Hurayrah]
The Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) said, "al-Waseelah is a rank above
which there is no other in the sight of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala). Ask Allah
(Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) to grant me al-Waseelah" [Ahmad from Abu Sa'eed, See Ibn
Katheer, an-Nihaayah, 2/2332]
