[quote][quote] Assalam o alikum. Well i am new here & i am trying to get in.I want to know should we strive for Paradise because we want it or because we should please Allah just by following His orders?? cousin in the US who is your student. [/quote] Well, you are welcome. I pray that you may find 'Studying Islam' as a gateway to learning Islam. We should strive for Paradise. We are here in this world to strive for Paradise. Allah will be pleased with those who stand upto the criteria established for the dwellers of Paradise. Actually, you should not think that striving for Paradise is some kind of mean action disapproved by God. The struggle for Paradise is what we have been assigned to undertake by God. Reading the Holy Qur'an, what comes to view is that Allah has created this world as a place to test and try humans. The objective of this trial is to select those who will abide in Paradise. The Holy Qur'an is replete with the mention of reward in the form of Paradise. Entering Paradise is what has been named by God 'a great success'. In achieving this success, lies the pleasure of Allah. This should be understood through the example of a teacher and student. A student works hard to get good marks. And the teacher experiences vicarious happiness when the student hit the target...Why should a student be made to think that he would work hard only to please his teacher?? [/quote]
