How is the inheritance of the disbelievers' homes in Paradise divided among Muslims: is it equally, or based on deeds and good works, and is that connected to the verse: "And that is Paradise which you have been made to inherit for what you used to do"?
The Almighty's saying: ﴿وَتِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ﴾ (That is the Paradise which you have inherited for what you used to do) means that the people of Paradise inherit it by Allah's grace and mercy, due to their righteous deeds. It is mentioned in the interpretation of the verse that Allah created for every soul a Paradise and a Hellfire. So, the disbeliever inherits the Muslim's Hellfire, and the Muslim inherits the disbeliever's Paradise. And that the people of Paradise will have varying ranks according to their deeds, and the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise will have the equivalent of this world and ten times more. The believer's inheritance of the disbeliever's place in Paradise has no relation to the inheritance of worldly wealth, and delving into its modality does not result in any practical consequence.
