The Seeker’s Guide

3 What should be my attitude
so that I can enter heaven?

efore the advent of Islam, there lived a person in
BArabia who was very generous. The Prophet of Islam
was once asked if this person would go to Paradise? The
Prophet replied saying:

No, he would not because he never asked
for it. (Sahih Muslim, hadith no. 214)

It must be clarified that the Creator is not doing mass
distribution of the ticket to Paradise. A person will not
be settled in Paradise irrespective of whether or not he
desired so. This is sheer underestimation of the Creator
and His neighbourhood. One needs to first become
extremely desirous of Paradise to gain entry to the list
of those who can be considered deserving candidate for
the eternal heavenly abode. This is the attitude one needs
to develop in the first place. Those who want to enter
Paradise need to develop the kind of personality which
yearns and aims for Paradise in the true sense of word
and all their efforts should thus be directed toward the
achievement of this one goal.

4 What should be the right prayer that

we should make to God?

n this world, every person is born to lead a different life,
Ieach with its own set of opportunities and challenges.
