How can a Muslim reach the highest Paradise (Firdaws al-A'la) and attain the status of Prophets and Companions, especially with the absence of jihad and the fear of not being able to achieve their deeds, and will the blessings of the people of Firdaws be equal?
The highest degree of Paradise is al-Firdaws al-A'la, from which the four rivers of Paradise spring forth, and above which is the Throne. A Muslim is encouraged to ask Allah for al-Firdaws al-A'la. The way to reach it is by obeying Allah and His Messenger, by fulfilling commands and avoiding prohibitions, by hoping for reward and fearing punishment, and by making frequent supplications, in addition to faith and devotion in prayer, avoiding idle talk, paying , guarding one's chastity, fulfilling trusts and covenants, and maintaining prayers. A believer may attain a rank close to that of the Mujahideen in al-Firdaws al-A'la, even if he did not engage in combat, if he follows the path of the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous.
