Allaah has created man in aworld of trials and tests, and He has made
Paradise the abode of His friends and beloved ones, who preferred His
pleasure over their own and preferred obedience to Him over their
physical comfort. And He has made Hell the abode of those among His
slaves who disobey Him and preferred their own whims and desires to
the pleasure of their Lord. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Such is the Paradise which We shall give as aninheritance to those of
Our slaves who have been Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)" [Maryam 19:63]
"But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained
himself from impure evil desires and lusts. Verily, Paradise will be
his abode" [al-Naaz'i'aat 79:40-41]
And He says concerning thepeople of Hell (interpretation of the meaning):
"Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have givenup As-Salaat
(the prayers)[i.e. made their Salaat (prayers) to be lost, either by
not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering
them in their proper fixed times] and have followed lusts. So they
will be thrown in Hell" [Maryam 19:59]
And He says (interpretationof the meaning):
"That shall be their recompense, Hell; because they disbelievedand
took My Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations,
etc.) and My Messengers by way of jest and mockery" [al-Kahf 18:106]
"Then for him who transgressed all bounds, (in disbelief, oppression
and evil deeds of disobedience to Allaah). And preferred the life of
this world (by following his evil desires and lusts),Verily, his abode
will be Hell-fire" [al-Naazi'aat 79:37-39]

So the Muslim must strive to worship Allaah and keepaway from that
which angers Allaah, for Allaah will not cause the reward the one who
does good to be lost:
