(jannah) He whose last words are laa ilaaha illallaah will
enter the Gardens of Paradise
ƒ It is salvation from the Hellfire
ƒ It necessitates being forgiven
ƒ It is the best of all good actions
ƒ It wipes away sins
ƒ It renews the faith (eemaan) that is planted in the heart
ƒ It outweighs, on the scales, the records of sins
ƒ It traverses all barriers until it reaches Allaah the
Majestic
ƒ It is a kalimah whose sayer Allaah declares truthful
ƒ It is the best of what the Prophets have said
ƒ It is the best form of remembrance, the best of all
actions and the one that is multiplied the most [in
reward]
ƒ It is equivalent to freeing slaves
ƒ It is a protection against Shaytaan
ƒ It is a means of safety from the darkness in the grave
and from the terror of the gathering (al-hashr)
ƒ It is a distinguishing sign for the Believers when they
emerge from their graves
ƒ All eight gates of Paradise will be opened to its testifier
and he may enter by any one he chooses. Even if its
testifier enters the Hellfire due to falling short in fulfilling
[some of] its rights, most definitely, that person will
eventually be taken out from it.
