THE ONLY PATH TO PARADISE IS THROUGH ISLAM

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 20th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1445AH (Tuesday 28th May 2024). *_THE ONLY PATH TO PARADISE IS THROUGH ISLAM_*. BismilLah. 

In the last verse of Suuratul Kahf that's Quran 18 vs 110 ALLAH says to HIS Messenger Muhammad sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam,

قُلْ

Say, to these idolators who reject your message to them,

إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ

I am only a man like you.

Whoever claims that I am lying, let him bring something like this that I have brought. For I did not know the Unseen, the matters of the past which you asked me about and I told you about, the story of the people of the Cave and of Dhul-Qarnayn, stories which are true, I did not know any of this except for what ALLAH made known to me. And I tell you,

يُوحَى إِلَيَّ

It has been revealed to me, 

أَنَّمَا إِلَهُكُمْ

that your God, ALLAH, Who calls you to worship HIM,

إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ

is ONE GOD, HIS name is ALLAH

with no partner or associate. 

فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاء رَبِّهِ

So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord,

i.e., hopes for a good reward and recompense,

فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلً صَالِحًا

let him work righteousness,

meaning, in accordance with the prescribed laws of ALLAH,

وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا

and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord.

This is what is meant by seeking the pleasure of ALLAH alone with no associate or partner. These are the two basic features of acceptable deeds: their intent is for the sake of ALLAH alone, and are done in accordance with the way of the Messenger of ALLAH.

The Prophet (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "Whoever loves the Meeting with ALLAH, ALLAH too loves the Meeting with him; and whoever hates the Meeting with ALLAH, ALLAH too hates the Meeting with him."
