It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, establishes prayer, and fasts in the month of Ramadan, then it is Allah’s right upon Himself to admit him into Paradise, whether he migrated in the way of Allah or lived in the land where he was born. The companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not inform people of this? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Remember that) Paradise has one hundred levels, which Allah has prepared for those who strive in His path. The distance between each two levels is as great as the distance between the sky and the earth. Whenever you ask Allah for Paradise, ask for Jannat al-Firdaws, for it is the highest level of Paradise, above it is the Throne of Allah, and from it flow the rivers of Paradise.
