Miftah-ul-Janna (Booklet for way to Paradise)

Mustafâ ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’ is the born slave and
the true Messenger of Allâhu ’adhîm-ush-shân. We are his
Ummat, al-hamd-u-lillah.
And also Kalima-i-Tawhîd has eight names:
1– Kalima-i-Shehâdat.
2– Kalima-i-Tawhîd.
3– Kalima-i-Ikhlâs.
4– Kalima-i-Taqwâ.
5– Kalima-i-Tayyiba.
6– Da’wat-ul-Haqq.
7– ’Urwa-t-ul-wuthqâ.
8– Kalima-i-themerat-ul-Jannat.
And also, requirements to be fulfilled for (having) ikhlâs [1] are:
Making niyyat (intention), knowing its meaning, and reading or
reciting it with due respect.
And, a person making dhikr needs four things: Tasdîq, ta’dhîm,
halâwat, and hurmat.
A person who abandons tasdîq is a munâfiq; a person who
abandons ta’dhîm is a bid’at holder; a person who abandons
halâwat is a hypocrite; he makes a show; a person who abandons
hurmat is a fâsiq. Denial of it causes disbelief.
And also, there are three kinds of dhikr:
1– Dhikr-i-awâm.
2– Dhikr-i-khawâs.
3– Dhikr-i-akhas.
Dhikr-i-awâm is the dhikr of unlearned people. Dhikr-ikhawâs
is the dhikr made by Islamic scholars, and Dhikr-i-akhas is
the dhikr of Prophets.
And also, there are three human limbs to make dhikr:
1– Dhikr made with tongue, i.e. to say the Kalima-i-shahâdat.
2– To make tawhîd and tesbîh (or tasbîh), and to read (or
recite) the Qur’ân al-kerîm.
3– Dhikr made with heart.
[1] Doing something good only because Allâhu ta’âlâ commands or
approves of it and avoiding something evil or sinful only because
Allâhu ta’âlâ prohibits or disapproves of it.
