The right path is one leading to Allah\u2019s mercy, blessings and ultimately Jannah, whereas the wrong path is that of Allah\u2019s anger, destruction and ultimately hellfire, Allah forbid! Jibra\u2019il (AS) described Jannah as being such a beautiful place, no one will ever want to stay away from it, and Jahannam as such a dreadful place, no one will ever want to go into it! Allah SWT then concealed Jannah with the \u2018curtain\u2019 of hardship and difficulty, and Jahannam with the \u2018curtain\u2019 of desires. Seeing this, Jibra\u2019il (AS) expressed fear that most of Allah\u2019s servants will choose the \u2018curtain\u2019 of desire over that of hardship, landing them in the hellfire! The path of Jannah is one of sacrifice, e.g. the struggle against the desire to sleep to awaken for Fajr Salah, but if we persevere we will find enjoyment in the freshness of a new day and the presence of the Malaikah who witness the morning recitation of Qur\u2019an. Fight the urge to live a \u2018free life\u2019 by \u2018confining\u2019 ourselves to righteous deeds with determination and steadfastness, knowing that behind this \u2018curtain\u2019 is
