Paradise its Blessings and How to Get There by Ali Hasan Ali Abd al-Hamid
PARADISE ITS BLESSINGS AND HOW TO GET THERE
The longing of the righteous for the eternal abode of paradise
Paradise is the ultimate aspiration towards which the Believers of all eras have striven. It was the burning desire in the hearts of the Pious Predecessors (al-Salaf al-Salih) which motivated them to set the highest example of heroism, Jihad, and sacrifice.
Paradise is the noble aim towards which the longing of many souls has been directed, at all times and in all places- so much so that many have willingly undergone suffering in order to attain their goal of Paradise.
Paradise is the greatest desire of the Believer: reaching Paradise is the hope for which he looks through out his life.
In many cases, Paradise has been the motive for good deeds, even in the face of great danger, and
even when following the Truth has meant certain death. This was the case during the time of the Prophet (SAAS), as Anas (RA) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (SAAS) and his Compa nions set out quickly and reached Badr before the Mushrikin (lit. polytheists, i. e. the pagan Makkans). When the Mushn’kin reached Badr, the Messenger of Allah (SAAS) said [to his Companions]: «Nobody should make a move until I say so».
The Mushrikin approached, and the Messenger of Allah (SA.AS) said: «Get up [ancl fight] for Paradise which is as ,vide as the heavens and the earth!».
Umayr ibn al-Humam al-Ansari said: «O Messenger of Allah, [do you really mean] Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth?».
The Prophet (SAAS) said: «Yes». Umayr said: «Excellent!».
The Prophet (SAAS) said, «What do you mean by saying Excellent?».
Umayr said: «O Messenger of Allah, by Allah [I meant] nothing but the hope that I may be among its people!».
The Prophet (SAAS) said: «You [will be] one of its people».
Umayr took some dates from his quiver and began to eat them, then he said: «If I live long enough to finish these dates then it will be a long life indeed!» Then he threw away the dates and joined the battle, fighting until he was killed
Such was the attitude as well, of the generation who followed the Sahabah. During one battle, Abu Musa al-Ash ‘ari said: «The Messenger of Allah (SAAS) said: “Truly Paradise lies in the shadow of the swords’
. A scruffily-dressed man said: “O Abu Musa! Did you really hear the Messenger of Allah say that?” Abu Musa said: “Yes.” The man returned to his companions and_said, “I bid you farewell. Then he broke the scabbard of his sword, threw it aside, and entered the fray until he was killed»
