The sincere good deeds that are devoted exclusively to Allah, Exalted is He, are a reason for winning the Pleasure of Allah, Exalted is He. Prayer, fasting and Jihaad are examples of the good deeds that help the doer ascend to higher ranks of righteousness in the sight of Allah and enter Paradise. In this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ underlines that whoever believes in Allah, Exalted is He, and does not associate partners with Him, sincerely believes in His Messenger ﷺ as the last Messenger of Allah for humanity, establishes the five obligatory prayers (i.e., Fajr, Duhr, Asr, Maghrib, and ‘Ishaa’), by fulfilling their conditions and pillars as due, and fasts the month of Ramadan, out of sincerity of faith and in the hope of earning reward, will rightfully be granted Paradise by the grace and mercy of Allah, Exalted is He, no matter whether he was able to partake in Jihaad and fight in Allah's Cause or remained in the land where he is born and did not participate in Jihaad. This is because each Muslim shall be rewarded according to his or her abundant or few good deeds.People vary in terms of their good deeds in the worldly life and their ranks in Paradise shall vary accordingly. The Prophet ﷺ did not make mention of Zakaah and Hajj in this hadeeth and it was said that it is because the hadeeth was not intended to list the pillars of Islam. Therefore, he ﷺ made mention of these worshipful acts because they are the more common for most people. Zakaah is not due except on a wealthy person when certain conditions are met, and similarly, Hajj is only obligatory on whoever is able to perform it, and is required once in a lifetime. When the Prophet ﷺ said so, people said, "O Allah's Messengerﷺ! Shall we acquaint people with such good news?" They wanted to bear such glad tidings to others. It was narrated on the authority of Mu‘aadh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Should I not inform the people of this?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Leave people to perform good deeds.” [Al-Tirmithee]. It means, ‘Do not inform people of what I have said about the fact that those who believe in Allah, Exalted is He, and carry out the obligatory worshipful acts would enter Paradise lest this should drive them to stop performing any extra good deeds and miss out on attaining higher ranks earned by those who partake in Jihaad.’ The Prophet ﷺ stated the one who believes in Allah, Exalted is He, and His Messengerﷺ, establishes the prayer, and fasts Ramadan shall earn such reward whether he participates in Jihaad and fights in Allah's Cause or remains in the land where he is born, meaning does not partake in Jihaad. However, he ﷺ further explained it by his following statement, reading: "Paradise has one-hundred ranks which Allah has reserved for the Mujaahideen (pl. Mujaahid) who fight in His Cause…” Such a statement explained that the situation of the two people (i.e., the one who partakes in Jihaad and the one who does not) is not the same in all regards, but it rather means that the performance of the previously-mentioned deeds is the condition for entering Paradise rather than attaining equal ranks therein; there are various ranks and levels in Paradise (attained by performing other worshipful acts). He ﷺ informed them of the ranks designated for those who partake in Jihaad, and the distance between each of two ranks is like the distance between Heaven and Earth, to urge Muslims to participate in Jihaad, fight against the disbelievers, and support Islam. There are numerous ranks in Paradise whose exact number was not reported in Laws of Islam texts, and one hundred of such ranks are designated for those who partake in Jihaad. Afterward, he ﷺ said: “So, when you ask Allah (for something), ask for Al-Firdaws which is the best and highest part of Paradise." In the Arabic language, the term Firdaws means a grove where there are trees, flowers, and plants. The Arabic term used by the Prophet ﷺ to describe its location is Awsat, lit., the middle part, and it means the best and highest (rank of Paradise). This is similar to the ayah that reads (what means): {And thus we have made you a midmost (i.e., the most just and moderate) community,} [Quran 2:143].The Arabic word used in the ayah is Wasataa, meaning the most just and moderate. It was also said that Wasataa here means the most vast and highest part of Paradise. The Prophet ﷺ added: 'Above it (i.e., Al-Firdaws) is the Throne of The Especially Merciful (i.e., Allah),’ meaning that its ceiling is the Throne of Allah, Exalted is He, which is higher than all the ranks of Paradise. It is the greatest, highest, and best of all Allah’s Creation. The rivers of Paradise originate from Al-Firdaws, and they were referred to in the ayah that reads (what means): {… wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey.} [Quran 47:15]. The hadeeth urges Muslims to perform the obligatory acts of worship prescribed by Allah, Exalted is He. It also urges Muslims to partake in Jihaad and fight in Allah’s Cause to support His religion.It is deduced from the hadeeth that Al-Firdaws is the highest garden in Paradise. It also comforts those who miss out on partaking in Jihaad, to learn that they may not miss out on a great reward. Rather, if they believe in Allah, Exalted is He, and His Messenger ﷺ and perform the obligatory worshipful acts, they will earn Paradise, even if they shall attain lower ranks therein than those allocated for the ones who partake in Jihaad. .
