The ongoing incidents inMasjid al-Aqsa, which have intensified in
recent months, occur due to the provocations and under the guidance of
various centers aiming to ignite clashes between Muslims and Jews. The
major goal of these centers is to strive to spread atheism, Darwinism
and materialism to the entireworld. Not being deceived by these
provocations, and dragged by such misdirection is of great importance
for all devout Muslims and devout Jews.
A Jew can surely go to a mosque whenever he wishes; he can pray and
worship there. Indeed the honorable rabbis who visited Turkey as Mr.
Adnan Oktar's guests also visited a great Ottoman mosque and performed
regular prayer (salat) there together with Muslims. During this visit
not a single undesirable incident occurred. On the contrary, Muslims
greeted and met their Jewish guests in a brotherly spirit with
sincerity and love. Mosque, which is a reflection of all beauties of
Islam, which is a religion of love, is the masjid of Allah and the
gates of this holy place are wide open to anyone who sincerely loves
Allah and desires toworship and remembers our Lord.
Likewise a Muslim can go to a synagogue and watch those Jews
worshipping there, pray together with them and remember Allah. These
acts of worship performed in tranquility are, no doubt, profoundly
beautiful. It is a beauty and a blessing for Muslims and Jews, the
sons of Prophet Abraham (as), who believe in one Allah, have faith in
the Judgment Day, the life ofthe Hereafter, prophets and angels, to
worship together and remain side by side in their houses of prayers.
However, it would surelybe more appropriate to visit all places of
worshipin small groups, without disturbing peace and tranquility there
and giving rise to any disorder. While visiting places of worship, it
is best to be in a silent, peaceful and brotherly spirit that would
not hinder the worships of the devout who stand in awe.
The declarations and incitements intended to ignite disorder at
certaintimes particularly in Haram al-Sharif, the holycenter of the
three Abrahamic religions, is a great tribulation (fitnah)and a plot
specially designed to cause disagreement among believers. The
existence of people who have no relation whatsoever with the real
morality of religion but who have infiltrated into the community of
the devout and live among them harboring racist, communist and
socialist views is probable. It is no doubt difficult to discern those
people within these groups willing to stir tribulation(fitnah) and
uproar. Taking advantage of such environments which are vulnerable to
such disorder, they aim to weaken the devout and strengthen their own
ideologies by using the religious delicacies. Consequently, a dark
plot designed to set the sons of the Prophet Abraham (as) against one
another is in question here.
In order to give no way to these artificial conflicts and ruin all the
plots hatched to distancebelievers from one another, genuine
devoutshould assume rational and corrective attitudes and keep their
composure. It is obvious that such artificial tensions will harm the
sincerity between genuine Jews and genuine Muslims, both the sons of
the Prophet Abraham (as), and disrupt the existence of a peaceful and
secure environment essential for a worship performedin awe. In order
not to give rise to provocation, prevent unnecessary tension between
relations and prevent the rupture of bonds of brotherhood, it is the
best to perform our worship to our All-Mighty Lord in compliance with
the religion of the Prophet Abraham (as), a man of natural pure
belief.
Haram al-Sharif We should keep in mind that it is the atheist circles
that try to disrupt the peace and set believers against one another.
As the sons of the Prophet Abraham (as), sincere Muslims andsincere
Jews, share the same ideals and advocate the same view.What we all
advocate in common is, in compliance with Allah's approval,
brotherhood, love, compassion, peace and friendship. Those spreading
the news that there will be an attack toHaram al-Sharif, Masjid
al-Aqsa, strive to stir fitnah, unrest and bring about artificial
tension are the insidious enemies of Allah under the influence of the
system of dajjal. Those having sincere faith in Allah should see and
recognize the insidious plots of these dark centers that serve to
irreligion and embark on an ideological work that will ruin their
plots.
Genuine Jews and genuine Muslims, should not forget that such
artificial events ignited particularly in Masjid al-Aqsa are specially
planned to distance believers from one another. It is of great
importance for sincere believers not to believe in such provocateurs'
inculcations but consolidate brotherhoodand friendship among one
another. Once the feelings of brotherhood and spirit of unity is
strengthened among believers, this dajjalic scheme will be averted and
genuine faith will grow among people likeavalanche. For this reason
devout Jews and devout Muslims should join forces in an ideological
struggle against atheism and unite to spread the faith in Allah to the
entire world.
In the Time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) All the Demolished Masjids Will Be
Rebuilt; Sincere Believers Will Worship inthese Masjids in Security
The blessed period whenall the people in the world will attain peace
and security, the members of the three blessed religions will worship
in peace and ease is the period when the Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat
Mahdi (as) will appear. By our all-Mighty Allah's leave, in this
period of peace, justice, security and abundance promised in all holy
books, people will be guided and turn to Allah and all the genuine
devout will worship together in masjids in peace and security.
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), PROPHET SOLOMON'S (AS) MASJID BEING
THE FOREMOST, ALL MASJIDS WILL BE REPAIRED, RECONSTRUCTEDAND THEY WILL
BE THE PLACES OF WORSHIP OF ALL GENUINE DEVOUT.
Some heresays suggested by some insidious centers regarding the
demolishing of Qubbat as-Sahra and Masjid al-Aqsa during the
reconstruction of the Solomon Masjid is an extremely irrational claim
and is contrary to the peace and love message of Islam. In the time of
Hazrat Mahdi (as)not only the Solomon Masjid but also ALL MASJIDS WILL
BE REBUILT AND BY ALLAH'S LEAVE AND THEY WILL REMAIN TOEXIST UNTIL
DOOMSDAY.
As is related in the verse,"All masjids belong to Allah so do not call
on anyone else besides Allah." (Surat al-Jinn, 18) all masjids belong
to Allah and, by Allah's leave, they will remain to exist as long as
the world exists.
Mr. Adnan Oktar explained in his interviews that in the time of Hazrat
Mahdi (as)all masjids will be constructed:
From Mr. Adnan Oktar's Interview on 27 October,2009
ADNAN OKTAR: In summary, sometimes people advocate the same idea but
somehow they get in quarrel all of a sudden. I see similar incidents
on television when they are in favor of the same opinion but
unexpectedly get into dispute. However, we as the Islamic world are in
support of the same values with Israel which is brotherhood, love,
peace and friendship. Would it ever be possible to inflict any harm to
children or people there? Also, our Muslim brothers are restless there
due to a possible attack or conquest of Haram al-Sharif or Masjid
al-Aqsa. No such thing can or may happen, Allah knows the truth.
Sometimes a very small group of a few in three or five people
groupingsmay get into such feverish acts, but there isno need to take
these seriously since nothing like that may happen. But by all means
the enormous need for appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the Islamic
world is better understood in every aspect. See that Hazrat Mahdi's
(as) advent is a great necessity for Israel,as well as for Palestine,
Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Kirkuk, Turkic Republics, Afghanistan,
Turkmenistan and the entire Turkish States. Because in an overnight
there will be an atmosphere of friendship where a compassionate,
merciful,and just person will achieve results straight away and there
will be no bureaucratic barriers.Since at the moment in order to just
say that youare our friend and we love you, there is requisite for
official correspondence. There are bureaucratic barriersfor this
message to go from one place to another.
From Mr. Adnan Oktar's Interview on 22 October,2009
ADNAN OKTAR: Why should Masjid al-Aqsa be demolished? Masjid al-Aqsa
will remain for all eternity. Why should it be destroyed? There is
enough place there. There is a vacant land, it is a vast land. Prophet
Solomon's (as) masjid can be rebuilt there in a form faithful to its
original. This is a beauty;for instance Prophet Abraham's (as) place
andthe locations he had been, the regions whereProphet Ishmael (as),
Isaac (as), Jacob (as) and all other prophets should be built.
Mosquescan be built there. If he performed salat (regularprayer)
somewhere, if it is said that he performed salat at a certain place,
then a masjid should be constructed there. From then on, that place is
a masjid. If it is known that he performed salat there, then that
place should be considered as a masjid. And the demolished, old
masjids. They will be rebuilt. Of course, by Allah's leave, we aspire
for this. We want it; this is, surely, one of the first things we will
accomplish once the Turkish-Islamic Union is established. To rebuild
Prophet Solomon's (as) masjid. This is quite a distortion,and indeed a
very remorseless distortion. Can I ever say, "Let's demolish it?"
ADNAN OKTAR: By Allah's leave, we will turn graves, masjids and the
places where all holy people, Allah's beloved servants, prophets
performed their salat, into heaven. Insha'Allah, they will be places
full ofgardens and vineyards. And when the Turkish-Islamic Union is
established we will accomplish it in a very short time insha'Allah.
Insha'Allah all humanity will experience the beauty of that
civilization, the depth of that love and that insanebliss. And let me
say that no power can hinder this. I do not say, "It will happen", I
say, "It has just happened and people will see it." I do not say
something that I am not sure by a hundred percent. All-Mighty Allah
has never embarrassed me, since I tell all these based on the hadith
of our Prophet (saas). Everywhere will be prosperous insha'Allah.
Verses from the Qur'an About Reconstruction of the Masjids
The masjids of Allah should only be frequented by those who believe in
Allah andthe Last Day and establish prayer and pay alms, and fear no
one but Allah. They are the ones most likely to be guided. (Surat
at-Tawba,18)
It is not for the associaters to frequent the masjids of Allah,
bearing witness against themselves of their disbelief. They are the
ones whose actions will come to nothing. They will be in the Fire
timelessly, for ever. (Surat at-Tawba, 17)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who bars access to the masjids
of Allah, preventing His name from being rememberedin them, and goes
about destroying them? Such people will never be able to enter them –
except in fear. They will have disgrace in this world and in the
Hereafter they will have a terrible punishment. (Surat al-Baqara, 114)
Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem
Hadith narrated the Prophet Muhammad (saas) related to the rebuilding
of all the masjids during the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as)
The Prophet Muhammad (saas) said these about Masjid al-Aqsa:
"Solomon (as), son of David asked three thingsfrom Allah as he
completes the building of Bayt al-Maqdis:
1- The ability to make judgment in accordance with the divine judgment.
2- To be granted property and reign that have never been and will be
given to anyone
3- Let everyone who comes to perform prayer(salat) alone to Masjid
al-Aqsa, return as cleansed from all his sinslike the day he was
bornfrom his mother.
The first two were given to him, I wish the third one was given. (Ibh Majah)
Hazrat Uthman (ra) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (saas) said:
"Whobuilds a mosque in demand of the approval of Allah, Allah will
build ahouse for him in the Paradise." (Sahih Bukhari, Muslim,
Tirmidhi)
Amr Ibn Abasa (ra) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (saas) said:
"Whoever builds a mossque in demand of the remembrance of Allah, Allah
will build a house for him in the Paradise." (Nasai)
Hazrat Jabir Ibn Adillah (ra) narrates: "The Messenger of Allah
(saas)said: "Whoever builds a small mosque or a mosque smaller than a
grouse bird's nest, Allah will build him a house inParadise." (Sunan
Ibn Majah)
Abdullah Ibn Omar (ra) narrates: "Mosque was constructed out of mud
brick during the time of the Messenger of Allah (saas). Its ceiling
was covered with date branches. Date logs consisted its stakes...
Hazrat Uthman (ra) reconstructed the mosque by increasing itswidth and
length in the same form as it was in the time of the Messenger (saas)
with mud brick and date branches. Hazrat Uthman(ra) modified it
thoroughly and made a lot of extensions. He constructed the walls with
embroidered stones and mud brick. Heconstructed the stakes with
embroidered stones. He also made the ceiling with a very valuable tree
of East Indian oak. (Bukhari, Abu Dawud)

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

The Description of Paradise – III
The Soil of Paradise
Describing the soil of Paradise, the Prophet Muhammad said:
"I entered Paradise, where I saw lights of pearl, its soil was musk."
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Ibn Sayyaad asked the Messenger about the soil of Paradise. He said,
"It is a fine white powder of pure musk." [Muslim and Ahmad]
Abu Hurayrah said: "I asked, 'O' Messenger of Allaah, 'From what are
people created?' He said: "From water." We (present Companions) asked,
'From what is Paradise built?' He said, 'Bricks of gold and silver and
mortar of fragrant musk; its pebbles are pearls and rubies, and its
soil is saffron. Whoever enters it is blessed with joy and will never
bemiserable; he will remain there forever and will never die; his
clothes will never wear out and his youth will never fade away.'"
[Ahmad and others]
The Rivers of Paradise
Allaah, the Most High and Exalted,has told us that rivers flow from
beneath Paradise. He Says in the Quran (what means):
{And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds
that they will have gardens[in Paradise] beneath which riversflow.}
[Quran 2: 25]
Allaah also Says (what means): {Those will have gardens of perpetual
residence; beneath them rivers will flow.} [Quran 18: 31]
The Prophet has told us clearly about the rivers of Paradise. He said
that during his Mi'raaj' (miraculous Ascension to the heavens):
"...I saw four rivers flowing out from beneath Sidrat Al-Muntaha (the
Lote Tree in the seventh heaven), two visible and two hidden. I asked,
'O Jibreel (Gabriel), what are these rivers?' He said, 'The two hidden
rivers are rivers of Paradise, and the two visible rivers are the Nile
and the Euphrates." [Muslim]
Imaam Al-Bukhaari reported from Anas Ibn Maalik that theMessenger of
Allaah said: "I was shown As-Sidrah (Lote Tree), where I saw four
rivers, two visible rivers and two hidden rivers. The two visible
rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates, and the two hidden rivers are
rivers inParadise."
Moreover, the Messenger of Allaah said: "Seehaan and Jeehaan (the
Euphrates and the Nile) are all from the rivers of Paradise." [Muslim]
Shaykh Al-Albaani said: "Perhaps what is meant is that these rivers
originated from Paradise just as mankind did; thisHadeeth does not
contradict the well-established fact that these rivers spring forth
from known sources on earth. If this is not in fact the meaning of
this Hadeeth,then it is one of the matters of the Unseen (Al-Ghayb),
which we must believe and accept because the Prophet has told us
aboutit." [Silsilat Al-A Haadeeth As-Saheehah, 1/18]
Al-Qaari said: "These four rivers are considered to be among the
rivers of Paradise, because they are so sweet and digestive, so fresh
and wholesome. They contain blessings from Allaah, and are honored by
the fact that the Prophet came to them and drank from them." [Mishkaat
Al-Masaabeeh 3/80
Another of the rivers of Paradise is Al-Kawthar which Allaah, the
Almighty has given to His Messenger according His Saying (which
means):
{Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], Al-Kawthar.} [Quran 108: 1]
The Prophet saw it during his Ascension and told us about it. He said:
"Whilst I was walkingin Paradise, I saw a river whose banks were domes
of hollow pearls. I asked, 'What is this, O' Jibreel?' He said, 'This
is Al-Kawthar which your Lord has given to you.' Its scent - or its
mud - was of fragrant musk." Hudbah [one of the narrators] was not
sure if he said Teeb (scent) or Teen (mud). [Al-Bukhaari]
On the other hand, Ibn Katheer compiled a number of Ahadeeth in which
the Prophet spoke about A1-Kawthar, such as the Hadeeth narrated by
Muslim from Anas, which states that when the verse (which means): "
{Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], Al-Kawthar.} , was
revealed, the Prophet said:
"Do you know what Al-Kawthar is?" They said, "Allaah and His Messenger
know best." He said, "It is a river that Allaah has promised to me,
and in it is muchgoodness." [Muslim]
He also quoted the Hadeeth narrated by Ahmad from Anas according to
which the Prophet said:
"I have been given Al-Kawthar, which is a river flowing across the
face of the earth; its banks are domes of pearl and it is not covered.
I touched its mud with my hand, and found that it was fragrant musk,
and its pebbles were pearls." [Ahmad]
According to another Hadeeth, also narrated by Ahmad from Anas the Prophet said:
"It is a river that Allaah has given to me in Paradise. Its mud is
musk and its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Birds
with necks like the necks of camels drink from it." [Ahmad]
The rivers of Paradise do not contain just water. There are rivers of
water, of milk, of wine and of clear honey. Allaah, the Most High and
Exalted, Says (whatmeans):
{Is the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised,
wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of
which never changes,rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and
rivers of purified honey, in which they will have from all [kinds of]
fruits and forgiveness from their Lord, like [that of] those who abide
eternally in the Fire and are given to drink scalding water that will
sever their intestines.} [Quran 47: 15]
Moreover, the Messenger of Allaah said: "In Paradise thereis a sea of
honey, a sea of wine, a sea of milk and a sea of water, and the rivers
flow out of these seas." [At-Tirmithi]
He also told us of a river called Baariq, which flows by the gate of
Paradise. During the period of Barzakh (the time between death and the
Day of Resurrection), the martyrs will bebeside this river. Ahmad,
At-Tabaraani and Al-Haakim reported from Ibn 'Abbaas that the
Messenger of Allaah said:
"The martyrs are in a green domebeside the river of Baariq, by the
gate of Paradise, from which provision comes to them morning and
evening." [Al-Jaami'] - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Another of the rivers of Paradise is Al-Kawthar which Allaah, the
Almighty has given to His Messenger according His Saying (which
means):
{Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], Al-Kawthar.} [Quran 108: 1]

and in it is muchgoodness." [Muslim]

which the Prophet said:

flow out of these seas." [At-Tirmithi]

The Description of Paradise –II
The Grades of Paradise
The evidence that Paradise has various grades and its inhabitants will
be in different ranks and categories:
Paradise consists of grades, someof which are above others, and its
people will be of differing levels and categories according to their
position in Paradise. Almighty Allaah Says (what means):
{But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds —
for those will be the highest degrees [in position].} [Quran 20:75]
One of those who explained and clarified this issue was Ibn Taymiyyah
who said:"Paradise has grades that are widely differentiated. The
beloved Awliyaa' (those close to Allaah because of their piety and
heedfulness) will be placed in those levels according to their faith
and piety. Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says (what means):
{Whoever should desire the immediate (worldly gratifications) — We
hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have
made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and
banished.} [Quran 17:18]
Allaah, the Most High, explains how He gives more of His Bounty in
this world or the next, as He wills, and His Bounty is not withheld
[forbidden] from either the righteous or the sinful. Allaah, the
Exalted, Says (what means):
{Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But
the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in
distinction.} [Quran17: 21]
Allaah Almighty explains that the differences between people in the
Hereafter will be greater thanthe differences between them in this
life, and the difference between the levels or ranks of the Hereafter
is greater than the differences here in this life. Allaahalso
differentiates between His Prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention,
as He does between therest of His believing slaves. Allaah,the
All-Majestic, Says (what means):
{Those messengers- some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them
were those to whom Allaah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree.
And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him
with the pure spirit [(Jibreel (Gabriel)].} [Quran 2: 253]
Allaah also Says (what means): {And your Lord is Most Knowing of
whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the
prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to Daawood (David) We
gave the Book [of Psalms].} [Quran 17: 55]
On the other hand, the Prophet Muhammad said:
"A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allaah than a weak
believer, although both are good. Pay attention to that whichbenefits
you, seek Allaah's help, and never feel helpless. If something happens
to you, do not say, 'If only such and such would have happened.' Say
instead: 'Allaah has decreed it and He does what He wills.' Saying 'if
only' opens the way for Satan." [Muslim]
Besides, the Prophet also said:
"If a judge forms an independent judgment to decide an issue in the
light of the Quran and the Sunnah (Ijtihaad) and is correct, he will
have two rewards, and if he is mistaken, he will have one reward."
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Indeed, there are many verses in the Quran which indicate that there
are different degrees and various ranks as a reward for the believers
in Paradise (according to the excellence of their deeds). These verses
are as follows:
{Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of
Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater
in degree than those who spent afterwards and fought. But to all

{Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] — other than the
disabled — and the Mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of
Allaah with their wealth and their lives. Allaah has preferred the
Mujahideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain
[behind], by degrees. And to all [i.e. both] Allaah has promised the
best [reward]. But Allaah has preferred the Mujahideen over those who
remain [behind] with a great reward — Degrees [of high position] from
Him and forgiveness and mercy.} [Quran 4: 95-96]
{Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the
maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah) equal
to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allaah and the Last Day and
strives in the cause of Allaah? They are not equal in the sight of
Allaah. And Allaah does not guide the wrongdoing people. The ones who
have believed, emigrated and striven in the cause of Allaah with their
wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allaah.
And it is those who are the attainers [of success]. Their Lord gives
them good tidings of mercyfrom Him and approval and of gardens for
them wherein is enduring pleasure. [They will be] abiding therein
forever. Indeed, Allaah has with Him a great reward.} [Quran 9: 19-22]
{Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night,
prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter andhoping
for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those
who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who
are] people of understanding.} [Quran 39. 9]
{... O you who have believed, when you are told, "Space yourselves" in
assemblies, then make space; Allaah will make space for you.' And when
you are told, "Arise," then arise; Allaah will raise those who have
believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And
Allaah is Acquaintedwith what you do.} [Quran 58. 11]
Al-Bukhaari reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said:
"Whoever believes in Allaah and His Messenger, offers prayer perfectly
and fasts the month of Ramadhaan, will be granted Paradise as of right
by Allaah, no matter whether he fights in Allaah's cause or remains in
the land where he is born." The people said: "O Messenger of Allaah,
shall we acquaint the people with this good news?" He said, "Paradise
has one hundred grades (and ranks) which Allaah has reserved for the
Mujaahideen who fight in His Cause, and the extent of difference
(distance) between each of the two grades is like the distance between
the heavens and the earth. So when you ask Allaah for something,
askfor Al-Firdaws, which is the best and highest part of Paradise." I
(the narrator, Abu Hurayrah) thought that the Prophet said: "Above it
(Al-Firdaws) is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it originate
the rivers of Paradise." [Al-Bukhaari] - - ▓███▓ Translator:->
http://translate.google.com/m/ ▓███▓ - -
The evidence that Paradise has various grades and its inhabitants will
be in different ranks and categories:
Paradise consists of grades, someof which are above others, and its
people will be of differing levels and categories according to their
position in Paradise. Almighty Allaah Says (what means):
{But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds —
for those will be the highest degrees [in position].} [Quran 20:75]
One of those who explained and clarified this issue was Ibn Taymiyyah
who said:"Paradise has grades that are widely differentiated. The
beloved Awliyaa' (those close to Allaah because of their piety and
heedfulness) will be placed in those levels according to their faith
and piety. Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says (what means):
{Whoever should desire the immediate (worldly gratifications) — We
hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have
made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and
banished.} [Quran 17:18]
Allaah, the Most High, explains how He gives more of His Bounty in
this world or the next, as He wills, and His Bounty is not withheld
[forbidden] from either the righteous or the sinful. Allaah, the
Exalted, Says (what means):
{Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But
the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in
distinction.} [Quran17: 21]
Allaah Almighty explains that the differences between people in the
Hereafter will be greater thanthe differences between them in this
life, and the difference between the levels or ranks of the Hereafter
is greater than the differences here in this life. Allaahalso
differentiates between His Prophets, may Allaah exalt their mention,
as He does between therest of His believing slaves. Allaah,the
All-Majestic, Says (what means):
{Those messengers- some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them
were those to whom Allaah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree.
And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him
with the pure spirit [(Jibreel (Gabriel)].} [Quran 2: 253]
Allaah also Says (what means): {And your Lord is Most Knowing of
whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the
prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to Daawood (David) We
gave the Book [of Psalms].} [Quran 17: 55]
On the other hand, the Prophet Muhammad said:
"A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allaah than a weak
believer, although both are good. Pay attention to that whichbenefits
you, seek Allaah's help, and never feel helpless. If something happens
to you, do not say, 'If only such and such would have happened.' Say
instead: 'Allaah has decreed it and He does what He wills.' Saying 'if
only' opens the way for Satan." [Muslim]
Besides, the Prophet also said:
"If a judge forms an independent judgment to decide an issue in the
light of the Quran and the Sunnah (Ijtihaad) and is correct, he will
have two rewards, and if he is mistaken, he will have one reward."
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Indeed, there are many verses in the Quran which indicate that there
are different degrees and various ranks as a reward for the believers
in Paradise (according to the excellence of their deeds). These verses
are as follows:
{Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of
Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater
in degree than those who spent afterwards and fought. But to all
Allaah has promised the best [reward] And Allaah, with what you do, is
Acquainted....} [Quran 57: 10]
{Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] — other than the
disabled — and the Mujahideen, [who strive and fight] in the cause of
Allaah with their wealth and their lives. Allaah has preferred the
Mujahideen through their wealth and their lives over those who remain
[behind], by degrees. And to all [i.e. both] Allaah has promised the
best [reward]. But Allaah has preferred the Mujahideen over those who
remain [behind] with a great reward — Degrees [of high position] from
Him and forgiveness and mercy.} [Quran 4: 95-96]
{Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the
maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah) equal
to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allaah and the Last Day and
strives in the cause of Allaah? They are not equal in the sight of
Allaah. And Allaah does not guide the wrongdoing people. The ones who
have believed, emigrated and striven in the cause of Allaah with their
wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allaah.

The Description of Paradise - I
There is nothing Like It
The delights of Paradise surpass imagination and defy description.They
are like nothing known to the people of this world no matter how
advanced we may become.
What we achieve is nothing in comparison with the joys of the
Hereafter. As is mentioned in several Ahadeeth, there is nothing like
Paradise: "It is sparkling light, aromatic plants, alofty palace, a
flowing river, ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and abundant clothing, in
an eternal abode of radiant joy, in beautiful, soundly-constructed
high houses." [Ibn Maajah]
The Prophet Muhammad was asked by his companions about the buildings
of Paradise and he replied with a wonderful description: "(In it are)
Bricks of gold and silver, mortar of fragrant musk, pebbles of pearl
and sapphire, and soil of saffron. Whoever enters it is filled with
joy and will never feel miserable; he will live there forever and will
never die; their clothes will never wear out and their youth will
never fade." [Ahmad and others]
Describing Paradise, Almighty Allaah Says (what means): {And when you
look there [in Paradise], you will see pleasure and great dominion."}
[Quran 76:20]
What Allaah Almighty has kept hidden from us of the delights of
Paradise is beyond our ability to comprehend. Almighty Allaah Says
(what means):
{And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes
[i.e. satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32.
17]
Besides, the Messenger of Allaah said:
"Allaah, the Exalted, has said: "I have prepared for My righteous
Slaves [in Paradise] what no eyes have ever seen, no ears have ever
heard of, and what has never come to the mind or heart of a human
being."; recite, if you wish{And no soul knows what has been hidden
for them of comfort for eyes [i.e. satisfaction] as reward for what
they used to do.} [Quran 32:17] [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Moreover, Imaam Muslim reported that Sahl Ibn Sa'd As-Saa'idi said: I
attended a gathering where the Messenger of Allaah described Paradise,
and I stayed until he finished speaking. At the end of the
description, he said: "In it is whatno eyes have ever seen, no ears
have ever heard of, and what has never come to the mind or heart of a
human being." He then recited the verse (which means): {Their sides
part [i.e. they arise] from [their] beds; they supplicatetheir Lord in
fear and aspiration, and from what We have providedthem, they spend ).
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes
[i.e. satisfaction] as reward for what they used to do.} [Quran 32:
16-17]
The Gates of Paradise
Paradise has gates through which the believers will enter, as the
angels enter therein, as Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says (what means):
{Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.}
[Quran 38: 50]
Allaah, the Most Exalted, Says (what means): {Gardens of perpetual
residence; they will enter them with whoever were righteous among
their fathers, their spouses and their descendants. And the angels
will enter upon them from every gate, [saying]. 'Peace [i.e. security]
be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final
home.'} [Quran 13: 23-24]
Allaah, the Most High and Exalted,has told us that these gates will be
opened when the believers reach them, and they [the believers] will be
welcomed by the angels with greetings of peace. Almighty Allaah Says
(whatmeans): {…when they reach it while its gates have been openedand
its keepers say, 'Peace be upon you; you have become pure;so enter it
to abide eternally therein,'} [Quran 39: 73]
The number of gates of Paradise is eight; one of them is called Ar-
Rayaan, which is exclusively for those who fast. The Messenger
of Allaah said: "In Paradise there are eight gates. There is one gate
called 'Ar-Rayyaan'. No-one will enter it except those who fast, and
when they have entered, it will be locked behind them, and no-one else
will enter it." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
There are also gates for those who pray much, those who give charity
and those who fight in Jihad, as well as the gate called Ar-Rayyaan
for those who fast.
In a Hadeeth reported by both Al-Bukhaari and Muslim, Abu Hurayrah
narrated that the Messenger of Allaah said:
"Whoever spends a pair (of anything) from his wealth for thesake of
Allaah, will be called fromthe gates of Paradise, Paradise has eight
gates. Whoever will be from the people of the prayer (i.e.the people
who observe the prayer regularly, properly, and perform both
obligatory and supererogatory prayers), will be called from the gate
of prayer; whoever will be from among the people of Sadaqah (charity,
i.e. spend money in charity) will be called from the gate of charity.
Whoever will be from among the people of Jihad will be called from the
gate of Jihad, and whoever will be from among the people of fasting
(obligatory and optional) will be called from the gate of fasting."
Furthermore, Abu Bakr said: "By Allaah, it would not matter if a
person was called from any of them, but will anyone be there tobe
called from all of them, O' Messenger of Allaah?" He said,"Yes, and I
hope that you will be one of them." [Al-Bukhaari Muslim]
Abu Bakr's question refers to a person who has all these good
qualities: prayer, fasting, charity, Jihad, etc., in order to be
called from all the gates. In another Hadeeth, the Prophet said:
"Whoever spends a pair (of anything) for the sake of Allaah will be
called from all eight gates of Paradise. He also spoke of the person
who performs ablution and does it properly, then lifts hisgaze to the
sky and says: 'Ashhadu an laa ilaaha illallaah wahdahu laa shareeka
lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasooluhu,' the eightgates
of Paradise will be opened to him, and he will enter it through any
gate he wishes." [ibid]
Additionally, 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab said: "The Messenger of Allaah
said: "Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then lifts his gaze
to the heavens and says: 'Ashhadu an laa ilaaha illa Allaah wahdahu
laa shareeka lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasooluhu (I
bear witness that None has the right to be worshipped but Allaah, He
has nopartners nor associates, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His
slave and Messenger), the eight gates of Paradise will be opened to
him, and he will enter it through any gate he wishes." [Muslim]
Allaah also Says (what means): {…when they reach it while its gates
have been opened and its keepers say, 'Peace be upon you; you have
become pure; so enter it to abide eternally therein'.} [Quran 39:73]
The Prophet told us that there is a gate, which is specific for those
who will not be called to account: this is the right-hand gate of
Paradise. The rest of themwill enter Paradise with all other nations
through other gates. In aHadeeth about Ash-Shafaa'ah (intercession),
the Prophet said:
"Allaah will say: 'O Muhammad, admit those of your Ummah (followers)
who do not need to be brought to account through the right hand gate;
and the others will enter through other gates like the rest of the
people." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
In the same Hadeeth, the Prophet described the width of the gate of
Paradise, stating that the width between the two sides of the gate is
like the distance between Makkah and Hajar, or between Makkah and
Basra." [ibid]
The Messenger of Allaah said: "The distance between the two
gate-panels of one of the gates ofParadise is the distance of
forty-year's walking, but a time will come when it would be very
crowded." [Ahmad]
