The Eight Magnificent Doors of Heaven in Islam

The eight magnificent doors of Heaven in Islam ~ Hi all readers! In a previous article, I explained the doors of Hell. We already know that there are seven types of Hell's doors. As for Heaven, it has eight types of doors. Now, I will explain the doors of Heaven.

In Daqa'iqu al-Akhbar fi Dzikri al-Jannati wa an-Nar, it is explained:

Ibn Abbas radliyallahu 'anhuma said, "All of Heaven has eight doors made of gold, adorned with gems. Above the first door is written the sentence, 'There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.' This is the door for the Prophets, Messengers, those who died in the way of Allah, and the generous. The second door is for those who pray, perfecting their wudu and fulfilling the pillars of prayer. The third door is for those who purify their souls. The fourth door is for people who encourage others to do good and forbid evil. The fifth door is for those who control their desires and avoid temptations. The sixth door is for those who have performed Hajj and Umrah. The seventh door is for those who fight in the way of Allah. The eighth door is for the righteous, those who lower their gaze from what is forbidden, honor their parents, maintain family ties, and perform good deeds."
