Al-Baqarah 82: Those who believe and commit righteous deeds, they are the dwellers of the Paradise. They will remain there eternally.

We come to verse 82.

And those who believe and do righteous deeds are the people of Paradise. And they remain there forever. Those who believe and do righteous deeds. Who are they? Even if at the nafs al-lawwama, it is not necessarily required to rise to the mulhima, the mutmainna. As long as these do righteous deeds, they pray, fast, give their zakat, go on hajj if they have money, again if they have money give their zakat, and give charity to the poor and needy as much as they can. And if they are described as merciful, which are all rewards, good, qualities that Allah wants, which the Prophet (peace be upon him),

Sofi's writing caught my mind. Hodja, he says, is one grateful for something one endures patiently? We will explain Sofi's too. Yes. Where did we leave off (?)? What was the last word? They are all asleep. You said 'the Prophet'. Yes. Before that.

A Muslim who will enter Hell, even if sinful, is honourable. His honour is created. Yes. He does the deeds for which Allah will have mercy. He engages in the deeds for which Allah Almighty will have mercy. He fears Allah. In good and evil, roughly, by not committing much evil, those who go further in good, since their rewards exceed their sins, these come into the group of those who do righteous deeds. Those who do righteous deeds; there are also righteous servants; righteous servants are those who do more righteous deeds and who also rid themselves of the sins the others would commit. Now you understand righteous deeds, and you understand the righteous person too.

Yes, these are all distinct words. In this case, these, it says, are people of Paradise, people of Paradise. So, that to enter Paradise I must rise to the nafs al-mulhima, that is, to the door of karamat I must come, I must rise to the nafs al-mutmainna, I must (?) to the divine manifestations. Those are the believers, their ranks are high. Say you, as a free person, have a house in the world, another, also free, has a palace, another has a mansion, another has a seaside villa, a yacht. If you too want to be rich there, you increase your righteous deeds. You cut off the bad traits in your nafs; in this case you too rise degree by degree. But there is no such thing that you must rise, that if you don't rise, you, let me tell you, cannot enter Paradise (?).

What is this? Those who do righteous deeds. Those who avoid Allah's commands and prohibitions and fulfil His command. Those who do righteous deeds, if their rewards exceed their sins, these, it says, are the people of Paradise and they remain there forever. Well, according to this verse, what will become of the one who enters Hell? The Muslim will also enter Hell. The Muslim will also enter Hell. Well, according to this verse, 'they are the people of Paradise' is said only for those who want reward, it says. There is nothing written for those who enter Hell. So what will happen? Whoever, to the hereafter, with faith as much as the tip of a pin has gone, listen well.

Whoever, to the hereafter, with faith as much as the tip of a pin has gone, that is, has gone not as a non-Muslim but as a Muslim, however much punishment he suffers, all his sins disappear in that light of faith, he reaches perfection, and he too becomes one of Paradise forever. But whoever goes as a non-Muslim, even if he had, not this world, but this universe's worth of reward, if he denied a single verse or denied the Prophet, or turned his back on Allah, in short, if he passed to the hereafter as a non-Muslim, that state of his, against reward as great as this world, that sin outweighs it, and so he becomes one of Hell forever.

Yes.

Now it says: and those who believe and do righteous deeds are the people of Paradise and they remain there forever. Those who submit to the oneness and unity of Allah Almighty. Who are they? Muslims who possess the light of faith. Those who pronounce the shahada. Pronouncing the shahada means those who submit to Allah Almighty's oneness, that there is no other god besides Him, and to His unity. Those who know that my Lord created the Throne and all the created beings within it, and submit to that Lord. Those who believe in the prophets and in the books Allah sent, who pray, give zakat, go on hajj, who hasten to good deeds for Allah, who protect the oppressed against the oppressor, who respect people's rights, that is, those who do righteous deeds; these too, because of obedience to their Lord, are the people of Paradise and they remain there forever.

Yes. How beautifully we list the qualities of Muslims here.
