7 Ways of Building a House in Jannah

1 - Dhikr before entering the Market place

The Messenger of Allaah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said;

"Whoever enters a market place and says 'Laa ilaaha illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyee wa yumeetu wahuwa hayyun laa yamootu, biyadihi alkhayru wahuwa ala kulli shayyin qadeer' Allaah will write for him thousand thousand reward and erase from him thousand thousand sin and raise him thousand thousand and build for him a house in Jannah!" 

[al-Jaami' as-Sagheer v. 1 p. 1118 Shaikh al-Albaanee said the hadeeth is Hasan]

2 -  Losing a Child

The Messenger of Allaah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said;

"When the child of a slave (of Allaah) passes away, Allaah says to the Angels 'Did you take the soul of the child of My slave?'

Whereupon the Angels reply 'Yes' and Allaah says 'Did you take (away) the fruit of his heart (i.e. the child is described as something very precious in the heart of the parent)'

Whereupon the Angels say 'Yes' Allaah then says 'What did My slave say?'

The Angels reply 'He praised you and said everything will return to You' Allaah then says 'Build for My slave a house in Jannah and name it the house of praise!'"

[al-Jaami' as-Sagheer v. 1 p. 80 Shaikh al-Albaanee said this hadeeth is Hasan]

3 - Building a Masjid

The Messenger of Allaah [sallallaahu alyhi wasallam] said;

4 - Reading Soorah Ikhlaas

The Messenger of Allaah [sallallaahu alyhi wasallam] said;

"Whoever reads Soorah 'Qul Huwa Allaah Ahad' ten times, Allaah will build for him a house in Jannah"

5 - Praying the Rawaatib

The Messenger of Allaah [sallallaahu alyhi wasallam] said;

7 - Abandoning arguments

The Messenger of Allaah [sallallaahu alyhi wasallam] said;

"I guarantee a house in lowest parts of Jannah for the one who leaves off argument even when he is right, and a house in the middle part of Jannah for the one who leaves off lying even if he's just joking, and a house in the highest part of Jannah for the one with good manners" 

[Silsilah as-Saheeha v. 1 p. 491]
