A House in Paradise: A Promise for the Consistent Worshipper

In this world, no matter how beautiful or well-constructed a house is, the truth remains: we will leave it one day. Whether it's due to relocation, decay, or the certainty of death, our homes here are temporary. But imagine receiving a guaranteed house in Paradise i.e. an eternal, perfect dwelling that never fades, never leaks, and never requires maintenance. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate real estate investment?

Now, consider this: whoever is given a house in Paradise will surely enter Paradise. It is not just a structure; it’s a divine promise and a profound honor. And the path to it isn’t through millions of naira or dollars. Rather, it's something within reach of every believer i.e. praying twelve voluntary rak‘ahs each day.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Whoever prays twelve rak‘ahs voluntarily every day and night, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.”
(Sahih Muslim, 728)

These twelve rak‘ahs are spread around the obligatory prayers and include: two before Fajr, four before Ẓuhr and two after it, two after Maghrib, and two after ‘Ishā’. Simple, consistent acts that—if observed regularly—earn such a grand reward.

Sadly, many of us underestimate these nafil prayers. We get caught in the busyness of life and overlook these golden opportunities. But if we truly believe in the reward, how can we be negligent?

Even more beautifully, the Prophet ﷺ emphasized consistency:

“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if they are small.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

This means it is not about lengthy, overwhelming acts of devotion, but rather the habit of showing up daily, humbling oneself before the Lord, and seeking His reward and mercy.

So let today be your new beginning. Include these rak‘ahs in your daily routine before and after the obligatory prayers and renew your intention to build your home in Jannah.

May Allah grant us sincerity, consistency, and a house in Paradise that will never be taken away. Ameen.

Getting to paradise is a function of the life lived on earth. Be kind and humane and one can die with a smile on the face knowing that he/she is going to a better place.

Allah please let me be among the inheritors of Al-Janah Firdawous.

Aamin Ya Allahu ❤️

They're no proof for all these...

We all read this in a book and made that our guiding light, how foolish can we all be.....

What exactly is the reward?

While kindness and humanity are part of what takes one to paradise or at least increase one's rank in paradise, the fundamental requirement for ission to paradise is belief in your one and only Creator, Provider and Sustainer.

Just as He created you, provides for you and directs your affairs without the help of any partner, you must also give him all your worship and service without sharing them with anyone. Else, forget paradise. No amount of kindness or humanity will save you from such grievous injustice.

Will animals go to heaven too?

d greatest religion is to uphold sanctity of life. To love and not to take away life which u did not create.

After killing people, u will kneel down to pray 12 times and still continue with terrorism again. It seems there are different level of dix devils.

reminds of a family guy cartoon when a suicidr bomber went to heaven and saw people playing only computer games instead of 42 virgins... nd he shouted "OSAMA AAA"

Hehehehe
Is it a coincidence that the reward of Christianity and Islam is the afterlife?

Bless you. Empathy, just Empathy

So one can kill, maim, rspe and undertakes all sorts of evil and wickedness all in the name of religion, then just pray 12 times a day and automatically secures a place in paradise? What a brainwashing and satanic lies/deception. No wonder they are not feeling any form of remorse for all evil they are doing.
