Who are eligible to enter the heavenly abode

cheerfully.
But how many persons are there who with happily and
gladly for the willingness of Allah for the sake of heavenly
paradise should pay Rupees 500 to any deserved needy person
in which their stay will be available there for always and its
luxury and comfort comparing to the mausoleum of Taj Mahal
is not possible and it is nothing. So think it over patiently and
cooly in this matter so whether you did not understand this
thing.?
In this book first there is given information and details of such

6-7-8-9-10-11)
2. And the servants of the Allah are those who walk on the earth
in humility and when the ignorant address them they say,
Peace. And those who spend the night prostrating and standiing
before their Fosterer. And those who, when they spend, are
neither extravagant nor niggardly and their spending is
established between these two limits. And those who do not pray
to another god along with Allah, and do not kill any person
whose killing Allah has forbidden except in the cause of truth,
and they do not commit adultery and whoever does that, he will
meet the punishment of his sin. (25/63-64-67-68)
3.And those who, when they are reminded through the signs of
their Fosterer, do not fall down thereat as if deaf and blind.

orphans and the poor and the wayfarer and to those who ask
(beggars) and for setting the salves free, and establish worship
and give charity (Zakat), and those who keep up their
agreements when they make an agreement, and the patient in
poverty and adversity and at the time of conflict. Those are the
persons who are true believers and those are persons who guard
against evil. (2/177)
8 And the garden will be brought near to those who had guarded
against evil, not being far away. (50/31)
9.For those who guard against evil, there will certainly be
gardens of bliss with their Fosterer. (68/34)
10.Those who had guarded against evil will be in shades and
springs and fruits which they desire. It will said, Eat and drink
pleasantly because of that, which you used to do. Thus do We
reward the doers of good.(77/41-42-43-44)
11.For those who guard against evil, there is certainly an
achievement. Gardens and vineyards, and young women of
equal age, and a full cup. They will hear therein neither useless
talk nor falsehood. Reward from your Fosterer, a gift for the
account of good deeds. (78/31-32-33-34-35-36)

made to hang low be being in their reach, And goblets of silver
and cups of transparent glass will be made to go round about
them, they will be transport as glass but made of sliver which
are measured according to a measure. And they will be made to
drink therein, a cup, the admixture of which will be Zanjabil, a

in attendance will go round them. When you see them, you will
think them to be scattered pearl. And whenever you see, there
you will see only excellence and a great kingdom. Upon them
will be garments of fine green silk and thick silk interwoven
with gold, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver and
their Fosterer will make them drink a clean drink. This is
certainly a reward for you, and your striving will be
acknowledged. (76-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22)
of your evil deeds and make you enter gardens beneath which
rivers flow, ( 66/8)
3. Then your Fosterer, for those who do evil in ignorance then
repent after that and amend themselves, your Fosterer, after that,
is certainly Protectively forgiving, Merciful.(16/119)

own souls: Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Allah certainly

will be brought near, in gardens of bliss, numerous from among
the ancients, and less from among the later, they will be on
couches (encrusted with gold and precious stones, reclining on
them facing one another). Youth always staying (in attendance)
will go around them, with bowls and beakers and cups filled
with drinks from a spring. They will not have headache from it
nor will they be intoxicated. And they will have fruits from what
they choose, and flesh of birds from that which they desire, and
fair ones with wide beautiful eyes, resembling in likeness,
hidden pearls, a reward for that which they used to do. They will
hear therein nothing vain or sinful, but the statement, Peace:
Peace (56/10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23-24-

through them, fall down porstrate and glorify by praising their
Fosterer and they do not conisder themselves great. Their sides
33
keep away from thier beds, they pray to their Fosterer in fear
and in hope and they spend from that which We have provided
them. So no soul knows what is hidden from it, of (that which)
comforts the eye (as a) reward for that which they used to do. As
for those who believe and do rightoues works, for them are
gardens as their settling place, a gift for what they used to do

grace. (42/22)
4. (It will be said to him) : Enter it in peaace, that is the
eternal day. For them therein, there will be what they will for
and from Us. (50/34-35)

There will be plenty of provision in the heaven
1. Whoever does evil, then he will not be rewarded except with
the like of it, and whoever does rightous work from among men
or women and he or she is a beleiver then those will enter the
garden wherein they will be provided without measure. (40/40)

Allah will save from the punishment of hell in the heaven
1. They will not taste death therein, except the first death, and
he will save them from the punshment of hell. (44/56)
3. and thier Fostere protected them from the punishmnet of
hell.(52/18)

1. They will not taste death therein, except the first death, and he
will save them from the punishment of hell. A grace from your

the success of the world.? As you know well that death will
come any day and it will disconnect you from the grace and
luxury of the world. As comparing to it in gardens there are
comfort, facilities as well as more luxury is available there and
which will not be snatch by death there.
They will not taste death therein, except the first death, and He
will save them from the punishmnet of hell (44/56)
Now start endeavours for salvation of the death and do good
works for the gardens of heaven and if in exchange of the whole
world if you get gardens then you think in this matter that it is
very costly dealing.
In your spare time think it carefully in this matter as you have
time with you on your guard otherwise except regret and sorrow
nothing will not be there with you and apart from this that you
will become eligible for your entry into the hell.
The Quran has been made easy to understand so that people
could implement it in their lives and so to be vigilant in
implementing the Quran.As Allah has guided the man in this
matter.
So, We have made the Quran easy in your language only
that they may be mindful. So be vigilant, they (too) are certainly
vigilant. (44/58-59)
The End.
