Is it necessary to possess all the attributes mentioned in the verses of "Ibad-ur-Rahman" (the servants of the Most Gracious) in Surat Al-Furqan and "Ahl-ul-Firdaws" (the people of Paradise) in Surat Al-Mu'minun to attain this great honor, or is it sufficient to act upon only one attribute?
The Noble Verses in Surat Al-Mu'minun describe the characteristics of believers, and these characteristics are obligatory for a believer to become among the people of Paradise, for Al-Firdaws is inherited through performing obligations, not supererogatory acts. In Surat Al-Furqan, the characteristics of the servants of the Most Merciful are manifested in humility, forbearance, forgiveness, night prayer, fear of hellfire, moderation in spending, and avoidance of major sins. These characteristics are rewarded with attaining Al-Ghurfah in Paradise. The general rule is that a Muslim adheres to obligations unless there is an excuse, avoids prohibitions, strives in supererogatory acts, and abandons reprehensible acts. Whoever adds good deeds gains more good, and whoever diminishes, his faith and status diminish.
