It is said that if a person sees the grandchild of his grandchild, he will go to Paradise. Is it true? Are the people who live long people of paradise?
It is also said that one becomes a person of Paradise after a certain age; is it true? If it is true, will all the people who lived at least four hundred years in the previous periods go to Paradise?
Dear Brother / Sister,
The prerequisite of going to Paradise is belief. Therefore, no matter how long a person lives, he cannot go to Paradise unless he believes.
The possibility of a luminous old believing person who spent his life worshipping, who made belief and worshipping penetrate all of the faculties of his spirit and cells of his body and who is like a monument of belief and worshipping going to Paradise is quite high.
"If it were not for your old people who are bent over, misfortunes would pour on you."(al-Ajluni, Kashfu’l-Khafa, II/163; Suyuti, Kanzu’l-Ummal, IX/167;Imam Ghazali, Ihyau Ulumi’d-Din, p. 341; Majcmau’z-Zawaid, X/227)
In the hadith above, the Prophet stated how worthy old believing people who worship in the eye of Allah were.
In some books, it is stated that the old believing men and women who lived long and spent their lives worshipping will enter the grave with belief. What you heard may be based on this statement.
