The way to Paradise

 

The Way To Paradise


Dhu'l-Nun was asked:

"What causes a devotee to be worthy of entrance to paradise?"

He said: "One merits entrance to paradise by five things:

unwavering constancy,
unflagging effort,
meditation on God in solitude and society,
anticipating death by preparing provision for the hereafter,
and bringing oneself to account before one is brought to judgment."

-'Attar, "Tadhkirat"
