Is reaching the Highest Paradise difficult, and do few attain it? And can frequently supplicating for it lead one to it, even if one's deeds do not reach that rank? What are the closest deeds to it? And is it permissible to ask for the Highest Paradise directly instead of Paradise in general?

Paradise is a valuable commodity, and Al-Firdaws Al-A'la (the Highest Paradise) is its best and loftiest part, with its ceiling being near the Throne. The people of Al-Firdaws Al-A'la are those who are foremost in performing good deeds. Supplication is one of the greatest means of attaining Al-Firdaws Al-A'la. Attaining high ranks in this world and the Hereafter is not by wishful thinking but by righteous deeds.

The most important deeds that lead to Al-Firdaws Al-A'la are: striving in the cause of Allah (Jihad fi Sabilillah), sincerity and truthfulness with Allah, belief in Allah and affirmation of the Messengers, performing ablution thoroughly despite difficulties, taking many steps towards the mosques, waiting for the next prayer after a prayer, frequent prostration, sponsoring an orphan, and sponsoring daughters. Therefore, what is required is striving diligently in righteous deeds and hastening to do good.
