pleasing to Allah Almighty and His Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and enter Paradise.
It is stated in Part 4, Surah Aal-e-Imran, Ayah No. 185:
فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ اُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَؕ-وَ مَا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَاۤ اِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُوْرِ(۱۸۵)
So the one who is saved from the Fire and is admitted into Paradise is successful. And the life of (this) world is but the goods of deception.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)](Part. 4, Surah Aal-e-Imran, Ayah 185)
Instead of bettering this life of a few days, better your Hereafter and strive, by means of good deeds, to attain Paradise, where there is no sadness but rather where you will live eternally.

The month of Ramadan will arrive after the month of Sha’ban اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, and the blessings of that sanctified month are so incredible! In that month, the opportunities to fill your record of deeds with bundles of good deeds by performing acts of worship, reciting Quran, doing Zikr, and reciting Durood increase greatly. In order to save ourselves from sins and to spend the days and nights engaged in performing good deeds, we too should gain the honour of participating in the I`tikaf held by Dawat-e-Islami for the whole month of Ramadan or the Sunnah I`tikaf for the last 10 days, and not just that, we should prepare other Islamic brothers by means of individual efforts. For our encouragement, let’s hear 3 sayings of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم about the virtues of I`tikaf;
