"Is the elevation of a person's degrees in Paradise due to righteous deeds or due to sincerity to God, as was the case with Sa'd bin Mu'adh? "
"A person's rank in Paradise depends on the quality of their deeds, which are only accepted if two essential pillars are met: sincerity to God Almighty and conformity to the of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. If one of these is missing, the deed is void.
The significance in the superiority of deeds is not only in their quantity, but also in several criteria, including: the types and categories of deeds, the extent of their difficulty, the importance of the intentions that motivate them, in addition to the deeds of the heart. Therefore, a person's rank in Paradise does not depend solely on the abundance of obedience and the length of its duration. "
