The Fear of GodPurification of the soul

Repentance from sins, attachment to God, charity in the way of God in wealth and in poverty, control of the temperament, forgiving others, not repeating the sins are things that deserve the glad tidings about Paradise if they are done. Verses 133 to 136 of Surah Al Imran say:

“And hasten to forgiveness from your lord and to Paradise vast as heavens and the earth, prepared for the pious.” Then it speaks about the attributes of the pious people and says:

“Who spend in (God’s way) in prosperity and in poverty, who restrain their anger and forgive the faults of men; God loves those who do good (to others). And those who when they have done a shameful deed or wronged themselves remember God and beseech Him for forgiveness. And who forgives their sins other than God? And they are not obstinate in knowingly repeating their sins.”

Then these verses speak about the reward that waits for such people:

“The reward for them is the pardon from their Lord and gardens beneath which the rivers flow.”

The word “Masara’a” means those who precede in charity and restrain from sins, who try to beat each other in asking for forgiveness. Some people have mentioned migration, daily prayers, khums, and Jihad and each one of them is the key to paradise. These are the main topics and each is the key to Paradise. The verse speaks about charity, helping others and all others that are keys to Paradise.

There is a debate between the meaning of Sabiqu and Sariuu. God in verse 21 of Surah Hadid says:

“Race with one another in hastening for forgiveness from your Lord and Paradise the width of which is the width of heavens and earth.”

The word “Sariuu” means to hasten faster than others but some commentators have taken it to mean speedy and they have hidden the actual meaning.

Anyway these des c r i p tions tells us that this world is a place where we should try to over do one another and the final stage of this is the forgiveness from God and Paradise a place that is very vast. We will discuss Paradise later in this volume.
