#SunnahFriday - Simple Paths to Jannah

  • Dhikr before entering the Market place

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 

“Whoever enters a market place and says "Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyee wa yumeetu wahuwa hayyun laa yamootu, biyadihi alkhayru wahuwa ala kulli shayyin qadeer - There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allah alone, He has no partners, He has the dominion and for him is all the praise, He gives life and he takes life and he is the ever living and does not die, in his hand is goodness and he is capable of all things." 

Allah will write for him thousand thousand reward and erase from him thousand thousand sin and raise him thousand thousand and build for him a house in Jannah!” - At-Tirmidhi

  • Losing a Child

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said;

“When the child of a slave of Allah passes away, Allah says to the Angels ‘Did you take the soul of the child of My slave?’ Whereupon the Angels then reply ‘Yes’ and Allah says ‘Did you take (away) the fruit of his heart’. Whereupon the Angels say ‘Yes’; Allah then says 'What did My slave say?’. The Angels reply 'He praised you and said everything will return to You’. Allah then says 'Build for My slave a house in Jannah and name it the house of praise!” - At-Tirmidhi

  • Building a Masjid

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

“Whoever builds a Masjid for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Jannah” - Muslim

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

“There is no Muslim who prays to Allah everyday 12 units of prayer voluntarily excluding the mandatory prayers except that Allah will build for him a house in Jannah” -  at-Targheeb

  • Abandoning arguments

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

“I guarantee a house in lowest parts of Jannah for the one who leaves off argument even when he is right, and a house in the middle part of Jannah for the one who leaves off lying even if he’s just joking, and a house in the highest part of Jannah for the one with good manners” - Dawud
