1.. In the Quran, Allah, may He be exalted, has mentioned different types of people in several places, and has described in detail the bliss of those who go ahead of others. Those places include what is mentioned in Surat ar-Rahman, Surat al-Waqi`ah and other surahs of the Holy Quran. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) told us about the variations in the level and status of the people of Paradise . 2.. We have not come across any details of what Allah has prepared for the people of al-Firdaws of eternal bliss therein, other than what we already know, which is that it is the highest level of the people of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Gracious, may He be glorified and exalted.

The hadith “Faith has seventy-odd – or sixty-odd – branches, the best of which is saying La ilaha ill-Allah (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah), and the least of which is removing something harmful from the road, and modesty is a branch of faith” states that faith has many branches and characteristics, but it does not state the ruling on each branch; rather it indicates that they are of various levels of importance. The fact that they are listed under the heading of faith does not mean that they are all obligatory, because when the word faith (iman) appears on its own, it includes all good and righteous deeds, both obligatory and recommended.

Evidence of the Oneness of Allah includes the following: 1- The entire universe, in the way it is created and is controlled, testifies to the oneness of Allah. 2- The creation of the heavens and the earth, the alternation of night and day, the different kinds of inanimate objects, plants and fruits, the creation of humans and animals; all of that indicates that the Almighty Creator is One with no partner or associate. 3- The variety and greatness of these created things, the perfection of their formation, and the way they are maintained and controlled, all indicate that the Creator is One. 4- The soundness of the heavens and the earth, the order of the universe, the harmony among created things, all indicate that the Creator is One, with no partner or associate.
