Enter paradise by virtue of what you were doing [in life]!

Enter paradise by virtue of what you were doing [in life]!” What is true out of these states? As sometime a task is attributed to Himself -azwj , then to ‘Angel of Death’ and later to other angels. Whereas I find Him -azwj saying: فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهِ وَإِنَّا لَهُ كَاتِبُونَ (21:94) Whoever does [the least] of righteous deeds as a momin, his endeavour shall not be disowned: for, behold, We shall record it in his favour.

وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَآَمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى (20:82) Yet without any doubt, I forgive all sins unto any who repents and attains to faith and does righteous deeds, and thereafter keeps to the right path. I find in the former verse that one will not take up the path of ‘Kufr’ after performing the righteous deeds but in the later verse it is implied that righteous deeds and Eman will not be of any benefit without being on the righteous path.

Also I find that Allah -azwj Says: وَاسْأَلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رُسُلِنَا أَجَعَلْنَا مِنْ دُونِ الرَّحْمَنِ آَلِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ (43:45) And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah? I wonder how people, who are alive, are able to ask from those who have passed away, prior to being resurrected?

Also I find Him -azwj as Saying: إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَهَا وَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ ظَلُومًا جَهُولًا (33:72) Verily, We did offer the Trust to the heavens, and the earth, and the mountains but they refused to bear it because they were afraid of it. Yet man took it up – for, verily, he has always been prone to be most wicked, most foolish. What are the meanings of ‘Trust’ (Amanat)?
