Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Makarih:
This is the plural of makruh,
referring to such actions and deeds that require effort and hardship,
for which one must abstain from desires and pleasurable things.
Benefits and Issues:
Paradise is a place of utmost comfort and ease,
therefore, to attain it, one must perform deeds that require effort, seeking, and patience. Hell, on the other hand, is an extremely painful and harmful place,
and to reach it, no effort or hardship is required;
rather, by acting according to one’s own wishes and becoming a slave to desires,
a person will enter it—
there is no need for any restriction or obstacle.
