Jannat al-Firdaws is the highest of the Gardens [of Paradise], and if a Muslim asks of his Lord, he should ask for al-Firdaws. There is no detailed mention of the existence of degrees within al-Firdaws or of the highest degree within it. A Muslim should strive to perform acts of obedience and maintain righteousness so that he may enter Paradise with the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. Among the most important deeds that lead to al-Firdaws are: striving in the way of Allah (Jihad), frequent prostration (prayer), and diligently reciting the Quran with tartil (measured recitation).
