Topic: re: Gates of Jannah

  I would like to ask one of the students of knowledge, du'aat or anyone who knows what the people of knowledge have said the following question:

Is there any authentic daleel that on The Day of Judgment that there will be a gate of Jannah that people who forgave those who harmed or mistreated them etc. in this world will be called from?

  I don't know anything specific regarding a gate for those who forgive those who harmed them, however it may fall under the generality of the following hasan hadeeth related by Imaam Ahmad in his Musnad (2/449) on the authority of Aboo Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:


لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ عَمَلٍ بَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يُدْعَوْنَ بِذَلِكَ الْعَمَلِ

وَلأَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ بَابٌ يُدْعَوْنَ مِنْهُ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: الرَّيَّانُ

"For the people of each kind of (good) work is a gate, from the gates of Paradise, and they will be called from it due to that (good) work.  And for the people of fasting is a gate that they will be called from, it is called: ar-Rayyaan."


So Aboo Bakr said: O Messenger of Allaah!  Is there anyone who will be called from each and every one of those gates?  He replied:


نَعَمْ!  وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ

"Yes!  And I expect that you will be from them, O Abaa Bakr!"


The hadeeth shows the generality of the existence of different gates that people of different good actions will go through, and Allaah knows best.

May Allaah make us from those called upon from those gates!
