It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever worships Allah, does not associate anyone with Him, establishes prayer, pays zakat, listens to the ruler and obeys him, Allah will admit him into Paradise through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise he wishes. And whoever worships Allah, does not associate anything with Him, establishes prayer, pays zakat, listens to the ruler but does not obey him, then his matter is with Allah; if He wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him.
