8 DOORS OF JANNAH
All of us want a way into Jannah, this is the ultimate goal and the test of this dunya. But how many actually educate themselves on what the Quran and hadith say about Jannah?
“But those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups until, when they reach it while its gates have been opened and its keepers say, ‘Peace be upon you; you have become pure; so enter it to abide eternally therein,’ [they will enter].” (Surah Al-Zumar 39:73)
