EXPLANATION
Paradise is very high, and ascending to lofty places takes a great deal of effort. The way to Paradise is filled with things that go against human wishes and inclinations. This needs strong determination and willpower.
An-Nisa'i, Tirmizi and Abu Dawud report from Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said: "When Allah created Paradise, He told Jibril, 'Go and look at it.' So he went and looked at it, then he came back and said: 'By Your Glory, no one will hear of it but he will enter it." So He surrounded it with hardships and said, 'Go and look at it.' So he went and looked at it, then came back and said: 'By Your Glory, I fear that no one will enter it." [Jami al-usul, 10/520, no. 8068. Tirmizi said: It is a hasan sahih hadith]
All the good ahmaals ( deeds) which we are asked to do may seem to be like more difficult and hard to fulfill.
Hell is been veiled with passion . In this world if we accept the desire and the passions which will be appetizing to do, then we will end up in hell.
( nauzu billah ).
An-Nawawi comment on the hadees:
"This is an example of the beautiful, eloquent and concise speech of which the Prophet, sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, was capable, in which he gives a beautiful analogy. It means that nothing will help you to reach Paradise except going through hardships, and nothing will lead you to Hell but whims and desires. Both are veiled as described, and whoever tears down the veil will reach what was hidden behind it. The veil of Paradise is torn down by going through hardships, and the veil of Hell is torn down by giving in to whims and desires. Hardship includes striving consistently and patiently in worship, restraining one's anger, forgiving, being patient, giving in charity, being kind to those who mistreat you, resisting physical desires, etc." [Sharh an-Nawawi 'ala Muslim, 17/16
Example :
⭐Fasting for a whole month.
⭐Performing Hajj in the blazing hot weather .
⭐Giving zakah from our wealth. Etc.
But if we do these well end up in paradise In shaa Allah.
So to attain this amazing chance of entering paradise we'll have to do some things and refrain from some.
Some Things we should refrain :
❌Lower the gaze , and don't see which is impermissible.
❌Don't talk bad about others .
❌Don't listen to music.
❌Don't mingle around with non mahrams.
Things to do :
✅Follow the life the Quran and sunnah says .
✅Control the thinking from unlawful things.
✅Respecting and obeying the parents
✅Having pious friends
✅Never miss the salah.
Etc.
May Almighty Allah bless us with a life in this dunya , where we refrain from bad and lead a righteous life and enter the gardens of paradise.
Aameen Aameen ya rabbal Alameen.
