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”
