روزے دار کے لیے جنت کا مخصوص دروازہ

Narrated by Sahl ibn Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "In Paradise there is a special gate called 'Baab ar-Rayyan'. On the Day of Resurrection only those who fasted will enter through it; no one else will be able to enter by it. On that day it will be called out, 'Where are those who fasted for the sake of Allah and endured the hardship of hunger and thirst?' They will rise at that call, and none but them will be able to enter through that gate. When the fasting people have entered Paradise through it, the gate will be closed, and no one else will be able to enter by it." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Allah Most High says: "In truth, those who feared their Lord will be led group by group towards Paradise, until, when they reach it, its gates will have been opened and its keepers (the angels) will say to them: 'Peace be upon you, you have done well; enter Paradise to dwell in it forever.'" (Al-Zumar 73)

Paradise has eight gates, each with its own name, and through each gate will enter those who bore the quality associated with that gate: (1) Baab as-Salah — for those who prayed abundantly; (2) Baab al-Jihad — for those who strove much in the way of Allah; (3) Baab as-Sadaqah — for those who spent much wealth in the way of Allah; (4) Baab al-Hajj — for those constant in Hajj and in the Ishraaq prayer; (5) Baab at-Tawbah — for those who repented and sought forgiveness much; (6) a gate reserved for those who restrained their anger and forgave the faults of others; (7) a gate through which will enter those who remained content with the decree of Allah; and (8) Baab ar-Rayyan — for those who kept the fast.

The hardship felt most keenly in fasting, and the greatest sacrifice of the one who fasts, is remaining thirsty; so the reward and encouragement given for it should have quenching as its most prominent and dominant aspect. It is for this reason that the special gate appointed for the entry of the fasting people is characterised by satisfying refreshment and freshness. "Rayyan" means "well-watered, or fresh and verdant." Through this gate the fasting people will be given a pure drink to quench their thirst before they reach their stations in Paradise; so whoever remained thirsty here in the world, keeping the fast to please Allah, will enter Paradise after being fully quenched at this gate, and from that quenching will attain a state of delight in which he will forever revel.
