Does Islam teach that all Muslims will be in Paradise?

Does Islam teach that all Muslims will be in Paradise?

Thank you.

I do not think so. Some sects believe the only way to GUARANTEE your spot in paradise is to die fighting in a jihad.

Salvation in Islam is based on works. They believe that if you do more good deeds than bad, you will go to Paradise. However, Allah can reject these good deeds if he feels like it.

Do you have a verse in the Qur'an to backup your statement underlined above?

The Five Pillars of Islam are the five main things that earn you points to go to Paradise:
1) Believe that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.
2) Pray five times a day.
3) Make pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in your life.
4) Donate to charity.
5) Fast for an entire month during Ramadan.

I am aware of this.

In Islam, the only guarantee that one can get into Paradise is to die a martyr. This is why you see so many Muslims trying to prove themselves worthy by waging holy war.

I wonder how a Muslim active in holy war would know he was doing what his Allah wanted him to do?

I don't think we have very many Muslim posters left on this board.

Was Muhammad certain of his Salvation?

I am aware of this.

So, Muslims are left with the fear that they are not certain of salvation. Sad, isn't it?

In my experience this happens when Muslims are faced with issues they have not encountered before. Like Muhammad is not foretold in the Bible.

They can't face it, so they run away.

I doubt that.

Keep in mind that it is extremely insulting to Christians to say that Jesus did not die and that our Scriptures are corrupt; yet we stay.

Well, the argument trotted out against me is that its Christian Forums and by obvious design, the rules favor Christians. Officially, no other religions are allowed to proselytize beliefs and the mods are incredibly strict about enforcement so Christians shouldn't waste their time being insulted, the offending posts are going to get deleted anyways.

Not at all. Muslims believe that Allah is the final Judge and He alone can decide if one will enter Jannah (Paradise) or the hell fire. If you follow the Qur'an and try and emulate what Muhammad did and the Sahaba and believe that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His final Messenger and the Seal of the Prophets I think you have a good chance of entering Paradise.

I study religions for fun

Too right. Sad but we can't change people, only ourselves.

No. Muhammad said something like there will be 73 sects, and only 1 will go to paradise.
