There are different ways to enter Jannah which has been emphasised in Quran and sunnah, Before we talk of ways to enter Jannah, I would like to write about the things we should not do. Prophet Muhammad sallalahu alaihe wa sallam said about them that لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ”he will not enter Jannah“. This is to emphasise how sinful it is and how a good muslim should shed these bad qualities if he has them. Scholars say that this doesn’t necessarily mean that they will not enter Jannah.
