The answer

Entering Paradise is easy for whomever Allah wills it for and makes it easy for them to do good deeds, accepting them from them. There are simple deeds that can be a reason for entering Paradise, like the narration of the harlot who gave a dog water to drink, and she was forgiven. And from Mu'adh ibn Jabal, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: "Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish prayer, pay zakat, fast Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House." Then he mentioned the doors of goodness, like charity, fasting, and night prayer, then he said: "The head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is prayer, and the peak of its hump is jihad." Then he took hold of his tongue and said: "Control this," and he explained that the harvest of tongues is the reason people are cast into the Fire. It should be noted that all these deeds alone are not sufficient for entering Paradise unless they are accompanied by Allah's favor, mercy, and benevolence, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "None of you will enter Paradise by his deeds." They said: "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Not even I, unless Allah covers me with mercy and favor from Him." And a Muslim should strive and emulate the prophets, messengers, and companions to attain the highest ranks in Paradise, but no matter how much good work one does, it will not equal any of the companions, let alone the prophets.
