The answer

Paradise has eight gates, which have been established in religious texts: the Gate of Prayer, the Gate of Jihad, the Gate of Charity, the Gate of Ar-Rayyan, the Gate of Al-Ayman, and the Gate of those who suppress their anger. Scholars have also mentioned other potential gates, such as Repentance, Remembrance (Dhikr), Knowledge, those who are content, and Hajj. As for Hell, it has seven gates, as mentioned in the Holy Quran. Their names were not explicitly stated in the Sunnah, but they were reported by the Companions, such as Jahannam, Sa'ir, Lazha, Hutamah, Saqar, Jaheem, and Hawiyah. Each gate is hotter than the one that follows it.
