Does the Hadith: "Whoever prays twelve rak'ahs during the day and night, a house will be built for him in Paradise thereby," contradict the noble verse which mentions that the people of Paradise will have everything they desire?
The sacred texts have consistently mentioned the construction of houses in Paradise as a reward for specific good deeds, such as performing twelve rak'ahs of prayer daily and nightly, and building mosques. These promises do not contradict the verses that state that the believer in Paradise will have whatever he desires, because Allah Almighty is wise in His estimation of rewards. The wisdom behind these promises may lie in motivating the servant and increasing his desire for good deeds, and that these houses have a special distinction and characteristic, and perhaps they cannot be attained merely by wishful thinking, just as the people of Paradise vary in their enjoyment of blessings.
