The Stages Of Paradise - Hadith 27 - Ramadan Reflections 1437/2016

Hadith 27:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ): عَدَدُ دَرَجِ الْجَنَّةِ عَدَدُ آيَاتِ الْقُرَآنِ (6236) آيَةٍ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ صَاحِبُ الْقُرَآنِ الْجَنَّةَ قِيلَ لَهُ: إِرْقَأْ وَاقْرَأْ لِكُلِّ آيَةٍ دَرَجَةَ فَلاَ تَكُونُ فَوْقَ حَافِظِ الْقُرَآنِ دَرَجَةَ.

The Messenger of Allah has said: “The number of levels (stages) in Heaven is (equivalent to) the number of verses in the Qur’an (6,236). Thus, when a reciter of the Qur’an enters into Heaven, it will be said to him:  ‘Go up one level for every verse that you can recite.’  Thus, no one will be in a higher level than the one who has memorized the entire Qur’an.” Biharul Anwar, Volume 92, Page 22
