Who will be the first person to enter Paradise, and who will be the first woman to enter Paradise, and is there an authentic Hadith concerning this?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The first man to enter Paradise is the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, based on his : "I will be the first to enter Paradise on the Day of Resurrection," and "I will be the first to knock on the gate of Paradise." As for the first woman to enter it, there is no authentic text regarding this. However, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned the mistresses of the women of Paradise, who are: Khadijah, Mary, Asiyah, and Fatimah. The narrations that state Fatimah will be the first woman to enter Paradise are weak in their chain of transmission.
