What is Paradise Worth To You?
Disclaimer All numbers in this presentation are for
comparative use and reference only. These numbers are not actual. Use as a
guide to select deeds. Only Allah knows & gives the actual
rewards of any deed.
Take Advantage… We work very hard to achieve for this worldly life.
We need to work very hard for the eternal life as well.
If you live 120 years, 30-40 years = Sleep, 40-50 years = Work, worry, etc. Only 30-40 years to enjoy if you are not sick.
The Day of Judgment itself is 50,000 years. Your 120 years life = 3.4 minutes,
your comfort life = 1 minute
If it is so difficult to take care of worldly affairs, how smart should you be for the life hereafter?
The Riches of This World Worldly Asset = Earnings - Expenses/Loss
You lose asset ownership as soon as you die. You give account for every single cent. A poor person will enter heaven 40 years AHEAD
of a rich person with similar good deeds. (Meshkat) The more worldly assets you have, the stricter
accounting you will have on the Day of Judgment. If your assets are used on unislamic things even
after you leave, you are held responsible. The reverse is also true.

Asset Accumulation Assets can be accumulated by various Deeds.
Beyond compulsory actions, be selective when choosing any deed; pick which gives MAXIMUM rewards.

People of heaven will feel sorry for the time spent in this world without any Deed. (Time wasted). (Tabarani)

Halal & Haram Defined
Halal + Haram = Haram (any %)
Meat NOT slaughtered in the name of Allah = Haram
Halal food with animal (unislamic slaughter) ingredients = Haram.
Illegal income, Stealing, Interest, Alcohol = Haram
Body nourished with haram food = No good deeds accepted.
Roadmap to Heaven…First Stop
Proceed if 5 Conditions are Fulfilled; otherwise you will waste your time and energy!!!
When police stops you for speeding, you can’t say, “I didn’t see the speed limit sign.” You are expected to know the rules before you drive.
Dealing with Allah must be taken seriously. You can’t fool Him, by-pass Him, avoid Him. You will face Him sooner or later. Check and test here now.
STOP#1
Second Stop
Avoid those conditions, which Allah and Rasul () said that if anyone does such act, s/he will NEVER enter heaven; hell fire is a MUST for him/her.
If you fall into these categories, your good deeds can’t help and will not be counted.
Details are in the Book.
STOP#2
Third Stop Major Sins “If you avoid the major sins, which you are forbidden to
do, We shall remit from you your (minor) sins, and admit you to a Noble Entrance (Paradise). (An-Nisa:31). (A list of Major Sins are in the book.)
If you are involved with any major sin, you should 1. Repent 2. Stop committing the sin again3. Regret 4. Compensate (If sin involves violation of rights)
STOP#3
Proceed Now after 3 STOPS

How to Calculate Hereafter?
Relative Load Factors of Good Deeds
Factors are based on the amount of: Time Effort / SacrificeQuran & Hadith (authenticity)Benefit to Islam
Example of Fajr Salat Fajr Salat = 1.0
Five Pillars of Islam *Kalema Tayyeb: ~ 0.1 (one time)
*Salat: ~Fajr-1, Zuhr-2, Asr-1, Maghrib-1.5,
Isha-2 , Witr-0.5 (4,000/year)
*Fasting: ~ 10/day (300/year)
*Hajj: ~1,000-2,000 (first time), 200-300 (later times)
*Zakat: ~ 200-500/year
* These are compulsory regardless of price tag.
Prayer at Masjid (Different Places)
Important Tip: You may not go to Jerusalem, Madina, Makka, but you get comparable/more rewards with Da’wah from anywhere in the world.
Home Salat = 1 Masjid Salat = 27
Salat at Masjid Aqsa / Jerusalem = 25,000
Salat at Masjid-e-Nabawi / Madina = 50,000
Salat at Al-Masjid Al-Haram / Makka = 100,000
Salat during Da’wah = 700 - 700,000
Extras Tahajjud: ~ 200/year Daily Quran/Zikr: ~ 200/year Quran complete: ~ 300-500 Family Take Care: ~1,000-2,000/year Halal earnings Efforts: ~1,000-2,000/year Help an Orphan: ~ 5,000-7,000 Serve parents: ~ 5,000–7,000 Jihad in the path of Allah: ~ 100,000 - 500,000
Sadqa-e-Jariya (Local) (Community based)
Build Hospital/Vocational Training for Muslim:
~ 5,000-10,000
Build Masjid: ~ 10,000-50,000
Start Elementary Madrasa: ~ 10,000-20,000
Start Islamic School: ~ 10,000-20,000
Start Darul-Uloom: ~ 40,000-50,000
Worldwide Da’wah (Universal) (Community based)
Write an Islamic book: ~ 10,000 - 50,000
Start Da’wah Center: ~ 500,000 - 700,000
Going out for Da’wah: ~ 10,000 - 50,000
Fikr / Concern for Islam: ~ 100,000-1,000,000
Why is Da’wah Highly Rewarded? Da’wah is called the Mother of all Deeds.

Virtues of Da’wah Convey from me even if it be a single verse. (Bukhari) One Morning or Evening in the path of Allah is better
than the World and all that it contains. (Bukhari) Headache in the path of Allah forgives all past sins.
(Tabarani) Lailatul Qadr (LQ) =1,000 months of good deeds. In
Makka it is 100,000 times increased = 100,000,000 months of good deeds = 8.3 million years. A person who goes for Da’wah for a short time gets more than 8.3 million years of good deeds. (Ibne-Hibban)
You don’t have to wait for Ramadan to find LQ or go to Makka to get more. You can get more rewards throughout the year from anywhere simply by going for Da’wah. No one can beat that price!!!
Best Strategy for Hereafter Engage in Da’wah most of the time. (Highest rewards). Parallel Processing: You can do many things at the same
time, more Barakat. People use only 5% of their brainpower. 95% is sitting idle. You can do many things more than what you actually do. Make your own package.
Look at the activities of Rasul () during his 23 years… Mind has unlimited potential. There is always room for improvement.
Intentions: You can make lots of Intentions on good deeds, ponder on how you can participate in Da’wah, help Muslims. This was the fikr & concern of Rasulullah () all the time.
Prepare: If you have nothing to do, then exercise. Don’t oversleep, overeat or be a couch potato. Get prepared. The Sahabas used to raise horses/camels to use for Jihad.
How to Avoid Bankruptcy in The Life Hereafter
You can file bankruptcy and take shelter in this life. You can not hide from creditors on the Day of Judgment. Your lips will be sealed. All your body parts will speak to give witness. You have to pay with good deeds. Avoid big disasters in Hereafter……..
Stop at Stop-1, 2, and 3, get checked, get clearance.
Build assets such as involve in Da’wah, Sadqa-e-Jaria.
Ask/Beg/Pay to those whose rights you have violated. It is much cheaper to compensate in this world than hereafter.
Clear All Debt in This World, Not in The Hereafter

10 0 $025 200,000 $850 500,000 $2075 850,000 $34
100 1,200,000 $48
How To Play It Safe Repent: Cry blood for all past sins. Rasul () used to repent
100 times/day. (Muslim). How about you?
Get out of Haram: Haram has no boundaries. Don’t assume that it is OK to avoid haram mixed up business but it is OK to use mixed up funds for Islamic causes. No good deeds are accepted. Don’t be a loser.
People at the Border (50/50): Good Deeds ~ Sins. Always do more than minimum required… Add Nafl salat before & after salat, read Quran daily, give Sadaqa, go for Da’wah, help a Muslim, etc. Do extra.
Protect your Hereafter constantly. Saitan works 24 hours to destroy your assets by silently luring you to major sins. Either you are building or destroying your assets at any given time. A Momen is always careful & vigilant.
How to Get Sins Converted Into Good Deeds
“Those who repent and believe, and do righteous deeds, Allah will exchange your sins with good deeds.” (Al-Furqan:70).
You can do it in this world, not hereafter. Try to perform those good Deeds now.
