He said: And the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is no one who does not have an abode in Paradise and an abode in Hell. And each of the people of Paradise will be shown his place in Hell, and will say: ‘and we would never have been guided if Allah had not guided us’. Rather people’s status will vary according to their righteous deeds.Ĭoncerning the meaning of this verse, it was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Each of the people of Hell will see his place in Paradise, and they will feel sorrow and will say: ‘If only Allah had guided me, I would have been among the righteous’.
Ibn Katheer said in at-Tafseer (7/239): Then it will be said to them, by way of reminding them of Allah’s favours and blessings: “And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit for what you used to do” that is, your righteous deeds were the cause of Allah’s mercy encompassing you, for no one’s deeds will admit him to Paradise rather that is by the grace and mercy of Allah.
This is what is meant in the verse “And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit…”Įnd quote from at-Tafseer al-Waseet (9/831). Ibn ‘Abbaas said: Allah created for every soul a paradise and a fire, so the disbeliever will inherit the fire of the Muslim, and the Muslim will inherit the paradise of the disbeliever.
What is meant by the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), “None of you will enter Paradise by virtue of his deeds” is that admittance to Paradise cannot be granted on the basis of the means alone, so there is no contradiction. Whatever the case, admission to Paradise because of good deeds cannot be attained except by the grace and mercy of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. What they deserve because of their righteous deeds, namely Paradise and its eternal blessings, is likened to what a person leaves behind for his heirs of property and provision. “for what you used to do” that is, because of what you used to do of righteous deeds. What the verse means is that it will be said to the people of Paradise, by way of reminding them of Allah’s favours and blessings: That is Paradise which was described to you in the former world it has been made like an inheritance for you. “And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit for what you used to do.įor you therein is much fruit from which you will eat” Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
