Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 18:107). ‘Inna l-ladhīna āminu wa a’milu s-ṣāliḥāti kānat lahum jannātu l-firdawsi nuzulā’, ‘Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging.’

Al-ḥamdu liLlāh this is good tidings for the believer, for you in shā’a Llāh. Allāh ﷻ promises those who become Mu’min, believer and make good deeds that He ﷻ will reward them with Paradise. Firdaus is the highest Paradise.

We are happy with everyone who believes in this. We believe in this, not believe in another thing. Other people - Everybody is free to think about Allāh ﷻ. And Allāh ﷻ will treat him as he thinks about Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We believe Allāh ﷻ will put us in His ﷻ Paradise. We are, in shā’a Llāh, as much we can do, believers. For doing good deeds, our good deed is only a [useless] shape. But Allāh ﷻ is Merciful. He ﷻ accepts this. He ﷻ is not in need for our deeds, for our thing. But He ﷻ rewards us because we are weak and that is by His ﷻ mercy. We believe in this. And in many āyah in Qur’ān, many verses in Qur’ān, He ﷻ promises to be merciful with us.

We must believe in this. Be happy. ‘ ’, ‘Lahumu Al-Bushrá Fī Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Wa Fī Al-'Ākhirati’, ‘For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter.’ (Qur’ān 10:64). Ṣadaqa Llāhu l-‘Aẓīm. There is this āyah also. There is good tidings for the believer in dunyā, in this world and the next world. Good tidings for us.

So be happy al-ḥamdu liLlāh, for this, the biggest Ni’mah, Ni’matu l-īmān, belief. To believe is the best thing. And al-ḥamdu liLlāh, Allāh ﷻ accepts your du’ā’, your praying, your fasting. What you do is even nothing for Allāh ﷻ. We know it is nothing but, ‘ ’, ‘Inda Llāhi 'Aẓīm’, ‘In the sight of Allah it is very great.’ (Qur’ān 24:15).

To be just doing this even by shape, it is a great thing in the Divinely Presence of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. We must do it with humbleness, not with proudness. “O the whole night I did not sleep, I prayed and..” No. It's nothing. Allāh ﷻ is not in need for this but He ﷻ is happy with His ﷻ servant to be under what He ﷻ said (commanded), not to become proud and think he is very great.

Takabbala Llāh, in shā’a Llāh Allāh ﷻ accept, and in shā'a Llāh reward us with Jannah. We believe in this; there’s no doubt for this. Because, ‘, ’Inna wa’da Llāhi ḥaqq’, ‘Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth.’ (Qur’ān 30:60). Allāh ﷻ promised. He ﷻ promised and we believe in this.

We must also believe this. Not believe other people who make doubt for everything. There are some people who like to put all people in Jahannam. Awliyā’u Llāh were saying, some of them sacrifice themselves, “O Allāh ﷻ make me giant, put me in Jahannam [to fill it up] to not put [fit] anybody else there.” This is the mercy [of Awliyā’u Llāh], and the difference between those who love Allāh ﷻ, and those who are claiming and are proud for what they’ve done. And nothing is worse than what they’ve done. It’s not even as one thing from Allāh’s ﷻ provision, from what Allāh ﷻ gave us.

May Allāh ﷻ make us together in shā’a Llāh, and make hidāyah for others also. We are not greedy to make people [go away], “Don’t come. Jannah is not enough for all of us.” Jannah is enough for a thousand times, a million times, a billion times more. You must believe this. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s Jannah is wide, His ﷻ kingdom is endless. Allāh Allāh, Subḥāna Llāh, Allāhu Akbar.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
