QuizTime(95): How many gates does Jannah have & do you know any gate name?

 

Ans:  Number of Gates are 8 & Names:

 

We conclude this Fatwa with what Al Munawi said about the gates of Paradise. He said: "The gates of Paradise are eight because the key to Paradise is La Ilaha Illa llah (None deserves to be worshipped except Allah) and this key has eight bits:

 

(1) Prayer

(2) Fasting

(3) Zakah

(4) Hajj

(5) Jihad

(6) Enjoining the right

(7) Forbidding the evil and bad

(8) Beneficence and tightening of kinship relations.

 Paradise does not have only one gate, rather it has many gates. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 

“And those who kept their duty to their Lord (Al-Muttaqoon – the pious) will be led to Paradise in groups till when they reach it, and its gates will be opened (before their arrival for their reception) and its keepers will say: Salaamun ‘Alaykum (peace be upon you)! You have done well, so enter here to abide therein”

[al-Zumar 39:73]

 

There is also evidence narrated in the Sunnah which points to the number of these gates. For example, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “In Paradise there are eight gates, among which is a gate called al-Rayyaan, through which no one will enter except those who fast.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3257; Muslim, 1125. This hadeeth indicates that the number of gates is eight.

 

Allah knows the best.
