SALVATION IN THE HEREAFTER

Admission to Paradise is not a gift coupon or reward ticket granted for certain deeds performed; it is based on the entire life of man. view, the matter is not just one of entry to Paradise, but it is about the continuous succour of God throughout the life of man—from guidance towards faith till death. A true believer continually seeks to do good deeds as all his actions are governed by the fear of God. His soul is stirred with the responsibility of being accountable to God for his deeds, so much that he begins to think even his good deeds may be deficient or inadequate. Thus, who would dare to consider his deeds as a “ticket to Paradise”? Instead, a true believer is one who considers Paradise as the benefaction of God and not himself as deserving of it. o
