Being a Muslim, it is our conviction that we need to face death one day and our last objective is the existence of the great beyond. In the great beyond, we go to Jannah (Paradise) or Jahannam (Hell-fire) relies on the deeds that we did in this life. Everyone of us want to get Jannah and know How to get Jannah and for that we need to perform great deeds and activities. There are different ways of achieving the joy of Allah (SWT) and enter His Jannah. Allah (SWT) has made it simple for us to enter Jannah however a few of us fail to remember this because of a connection to this transitory common life. Allah Almighty says in Holy Quran:
“O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful.” (Quran, 5:35).
How to get Jannah? Following are some ways to enter Jannah:
1. Fearing Allah
Allah says:
“And whoever fears to stand before his Lord, there are two gardens for him.” [Surah Rahman, verse 46]
One of the implications of this verse is that for anybody who fears standing in the spot when his/her activities will be determined before Allah on the Day of Judgment, and assuming he controlled him/herself from sins and perform great deeds, there are two gardens in the Hereafter.
2. Love for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
وَمَنۡ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ مَعَ الَّذِيۡنَ اَنۡعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ وَالصِّدِّيۡقِيۡنَ وَالشُّهَدَآءِ وَالصّٰلِحِيۡنَ ۚ وَحَسُنَ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ رَفِيۡقًا ؕ
“What’s more, he who submits to Allah and the Messenger they will accompany those whom Allah has favored – the Prophets, those unflinching in honesty, the martyrs, and the righteous.” How great will they be for companions?” [Quran4:69]
Hazrat Anas (RA) says, Our Lord’s Messenger (PBUH) said:
“Whoever loves me will accompany me in Paradise.” [At-Tirmidhi 2678,]
3. Love for Companions of Messengers of Allah
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“After me follow Abu Bakr and Omar, and my Companions are the people who follow the way of Allah”
Described Jubair bin Mutim:
A lady came to the Prophet who told her to get back to him once more. She said, “What if I came and did not find you?” as though she wanted to say, “If I found you dead?” The Prophet said, “In the event that you can’t find me, go to Abu Bakr.”[Volume 5, Book 57, 11].
4. Knowledge of Religion
Knowledge on religion is vital for being on the path of Jannah or for many different reasons as through this knowledge we will be able to know the right explanation against our creation as Allah (SW) Said:
اِنَّمَا يَخۡشَى اللّٰهَ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِ الۡعُلَمٰٓؤُا
” Only those dread Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge”. [Quran 35:28]
5. Salah (Prayers)
The punctuality of salaat is vital as Allah said:
“And those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat and believe in Allah and in the Last Day, it is they to whom We shall give a great reward”. [Surah An Nisa 162]
Allah (SW) said in Quran:
وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ عَلٰى صَلَوٰتِهِمۡ يُحَافِظُوۡنَۘ
“And those who of their prayers are observant”. [Quran 23:9]

[Narrated by Ahmad, 21529; Abu Dawood, 3116; classed as Saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 687 ]These are some ways How to get Jannah. In the Qur’an and the Hadiths there are numerous great deeds and worship through embracing them there is the good news of Jannat, and by staying away from a few terrible deeds there is a promise of Jannat. May Allah award all of us to go into Paradise with His benevolence and favor the neighborhood of His cherished Prophet Allah (SWS) in Jannat.
