"Through a Messenger who recites to you clear verses of Allah, so that He may bring those who believe and act righteously out of darkness into light. And whoever believes in Allah and acts righteously, He will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. Allah has certainly prepared for him a beautiful provision."

🔸 These attributes of the Prophet ﷺ are timeless and universal, extending beyond any particular time or place.

🔸 While infidelity can take many forms, Islam is one, as Allah uses the singular form of light to refer to Islam and the plural form for darkness to represent various forms of infidelity.

🔸 Righteous action is an essential complement to faith for achieving salvation and entering Paradise.
🔸 Upon death, the believer’s soul witnesses Paradise, but they will not enter until the Day of Judgement.
🔸 The souls of martyrs, however, enter Paradise immediately after their death.
🔸 Faith takes precedence over actions, but good deeds complement faith and are essential for salvation.
🔸 Allah will grant the believer several gardens of Paradise: one for Salah, one for Zakat, and one out of His mercy.
🔸 Paradise is permanent, with no death or expulsion from it. Once in Paradise, the believer will enjoy eternal bliss.
