Paradise, Al Jannah, is not for everyone. It is for those with purified souls on whom Allah has shown mercy. Muslims aren’t Allah’s “chosen people.” We have to work hard to earn Allah’s good pleasure. That means that we will constantly be tested to see whether our our words and our actions are of the same substance….
By Talha Asghar
Islam isn’t a spectator sport. It’s a lifelong program for action. Islam teaches us how to purify the spiritual heart This will be the final stage of attaining Allah’s good pleasure. We can do this best by helping others in need. We must also work hard to end poverty and suffering everywhere.
