Guarantee of Paradise

From Abu Said al-Khudri:

“A person who chooses Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion, and Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) as his prophet deserves Paradise.”

(Abu Dawud/Witr 26; Nasai/Jihad 18)

In the hadith above, the triple formula of guaranteeing the future and happiness in the hereafter is given: being the slave of Allah, being in the community of Hazrat Muhammad and being a member of Islam…

Of course, those preferences should not remain unfulfilled; they should be fulfilled by obeying Allah, surrendering to the orders of Islam and following the Prophet.
