Entering the house of Rahman (azzawajal)

[Faizan-e-Mustafa]

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful and, Peace and Blessings of Almighty Allah be upon the Chosen Prophet.

 

Ibrahim bin Adham (Allah be pleased with him) was once about to enter the bathroom. The owner outside the bathroom stopped him and told him he would have to pay a fee to enter.

Ibrahim began to cry and remarked: '[it seems] no one can enter the devil's house without an entrance fee. So how will anyone enter the House of Rahman azzawajal (i.e. Paradise) without faith and good actions?'

 

Moral:

 

This world and all of its contents and blessings are finite. We find that any favour or ease in this world comes at a price and with effort. So how can anyone expect Paradise - which is an eternal abode infinitely better that anything in this world, along with all of its blessings within - without effort and price? Never. The prerequisite for entrance to Paradise is faith and good actions.
