This is a lecture by Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, the founder of Islamic Online University. He was in Jakarta yesterday, and I attended his lecture in Masjid Al-Azhar last night. So, he discussed about 7 characteristics of people who are among people of paradise (based on the characteristics of Rasulullah’s friends who were promised paradise).
1. Knowledge
2. Love for Allah
3. Complete trust for Allah
4. Patience
5. Self control in dealing with anger
6. Contentment of one’s situation (not envying others)
7. Sacrifice for Allah
I will try my best to improve myself based on these characteristics. Thanks to Dr. Philips for reminding us.
