The Ranks in Paradise

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘There is a station in Paradise that none can attain except a just leader, or one who has maintained relations with his kin, or who is forbearing with his family.

Imam Ali (AS) said, describing Paradise, ‘There are degrees differing in excellence, and various stations.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The people of Paradise will gaze upon the stations of our shia just as one of you gazes at the stars on the horizons of the sky.

Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) said, ‘Adhere to the Quran …for Allah has created Paradise, and has made its stations in accordance with the verses of the Qur'an. So whoever reads the Qur'an, it will say to him, ‘Read and ascend! So whoever from among them enters Paradise, there will not be a station higher than theirs except for the prophets and the truthful ones.

Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘For the one who occupies the lowest station in Paradise, were the humans and the jinn to appear as guests for him, nothing would diminish from him if he were to provide them all with food and drink.
