“Whoever does not argue when he is in the wrong will have a home built for him on the edge of Paradise.

Whoever avoids it when he in the right will have a home built for him in the middle of Paradise.

And whoever improves his own character, a home will be built for him in the highest part of Paradise.”

[Reported in Tirmidhi]

“The Paradise is surrounded by hardships and the Hell-Fire is surrounded by temptations.’”

“Whoever treads on a path in search of Islamic knowledge, Allah will ease the way to Paradise for him. The angels will lower their wings, pleased with this seeker of knowledge, and everyone in the heavens and on earth will ask forgiveness for the knowledgeable person, even the fish in the deepest of waters will ask for his forgiveness.”

“Allah who is Great and Glorious says, ‘When I afflict a servant of Mine who is a believer and he praises Me, for the affliction I have brought upon him; he will rise from that couch of his as sinless as he was the day his mother gave birth to him.’

The Rabb, Who is Blessed and Exalted, will say, ‘I fettered and afflicted My servant, so record for him what you were recording for him when he was well.“
