(Ayah89){ اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٍ … :} The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, there are one hundred levels in Paradise which Allah has prepared for the Mujahideen in the cause of Allah. The distance between each two levels is like the distance between the earth and the sky. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaus, for it is the best and highest part of Paradise, above which is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it the rivers of Paradise flow." [ بخاری، الجہاد والسیر، باب درجات المجاہدین فی سبیل اللہ : ۲۷۹۰، عن أبی ھریرۃ رضی اللہ عنہ ]

89. 1. In contrast to these hypocrites, the attitude of the believers is that they strive in the way of Allah with their lives and wealth; in the way of Allah, they do not care for their lives nor their wealth. For them, Allah’s command is above all else. For them alone are the good things, that is, the blessings of the Hereafter and the bounties of Paradise, and according to some, the benefits of both religion and the world, and these are the ones who will attain success and the great triumph.
