Its all-embracing nature

We must avoid misunderstanding that taking Paradise as the goal rules out the need for self-development. Paradise is such a comprehensive goal that it takes into account every form of self-development. For example, honesty helps one enter Paradise. Likewise, being dutiful and discharging one’s obligations efficiently paves the way for Paradise. If one is engaged in farming or business and fulfills the need of others, this too will contribute to one’s admission to Paradise. Islam instructs that one should renounce all that is vain. Using our time properly will help one win Paradise. Likewise, offering prayers on time will also help in realizing his goal. Doing things on time and being true to one’s word are virtues which make one deserving of Paradise. Indeed, fulfilling one’s promise is a virtue of the highest degree for which one will be admitted to Paradise. Seen in this way, every form of self-development, not linked in any way to unlawful things is meant for entering Paradise. It is thus an all-embracing goal.

The first step: The first step to self-development is to make Paradise (and nothing else) one’s goal, and to set one’s eyes steadily on it. One should be concerned only with this goal and direct all efforts towards it. The decision should be deliberately taken after being firmly persuaded. Then, it needs to be engraved on the heart and mind. Then mind and tongue both continually refreshed with it.
