*_The Key to Attaining Paradise By Imām Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah_*

_In the name of Allaah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) ._

_🎙️Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullāh:_

*“…Allāh ﷻ has made for every desirable affair a key by which it is opened. He made purification the key to prayer, as the Prophet ﷺ said: “The key to prayer is purification.”*

He made iḥrām the key to ḥajj;

truthfulness the key to righteousness;

tawḥīd the key to Paradise;

*sound questioning and attentive listening the key to knowledge;*

patience the key to victory and triumph;

gratitude the key to increase;

*love and remembrance the key to closeness to Allāh ﷻ;*

taqwā the key to success;

*hope and fear the keys to success from Allāh;*

supplication the key to response;

abstinence from the dunyā the key to desire for the ākhirah;

reflection upon that which Allāh ﷻ has commanded His servants to contemplate the key to īmān;

and the heart’s submission and sincerity to Allāh ﷻ in love, hatred, action, and abstention the key to entering upon Allāh ﷻ.

*Likewise, reflection upon the Qur’ān, supplication in the last part of the night, and the abandonment of sins are the key to the life of the heart and excellence in worship of the Creator ﷻ…”*
