Do you want to Purchase a Property in Paradise?

Mode of Payment

The currency to purchase Jannah is not the Dollar or the Dinar. It is also not the Rupee or the Rand and neither is it the Euro or the Yen.

The currency to purchase a property in Jannah is only in the form of Having your Faith in Allah and Doing Good Deeds as indicated in the following Aayat of the Holy Qur’an:

“Those who have Imaan and who do good deeds shall be the occupants of Jannah, where they will live forever.” (Surah Al-Baqara: 82)

Good Deeds through which You can Purchase these Properties

There are many good deeds that you can do to please Allah so that He may grant you the rights to reside in Jannah. Given below are only a few of them. You can of course convert your Worldly Currencies into Good Deeds that involve Spending Money, in this world to gain entry into Jannah.

Remember that the good deeds whether involving yourself, your time or your worldly currencies must be done in this world only while you are alive. Once your eyes close and your soul leaves your body you will not get even a single moment or a single opportunity to do any of these deeds!
