There's a fine line between being hasty in a way that's reckless and then being quick in a way that's praiseworthy.

Just like there's a fine line in a slam between confidence and arrogance, or taking initiative versus imposing yourself on every situation.

And sometimes you see someone who gets into the dean and they are thirsty, so they want to catch up and get everything really quickly.

But what we learn from Allah SubhanAllah is that large spans of this journey to him are covered by the sincerity of our hearts.

Now in this situation when you're actually looking at Jannah and you are ready to get in, imagine the longing of the heart at those moments when you're just outside its gates.

The hearts have to be purified before Jannah and nothing is held in the heart like a stubborn grudge.

And that's why there is one more technical station of trial even though it's not a place of punishment like the others.

However, it does cause a delay. The Prophet SAW said that the believers after being saved from the fire, they're stopped at one more bridge.

And this bridge is not the Salat, it's a bridge called the Qantala. It's a bridge where the people of Paradise need to work things out.

So Allah SubhanAllah asks the believers to settle their issues here.

This is the place being Jannah that no grudges are going to be allowed and so sometimes good people still have issues between them.

They can't enter Jannah with those issues.

And so the Prophet SAW tells us in a narration that Al-Hakim, O'hamdulillah, authenticated and even the scholars that did not authenticate this particular narration affirmed the presence of the Qantala.

He says that you have these two men from the Ummah and they show up before Allah SubhanAllah and they're on the Qantala.

And one man says, O my Lord, this person transgressed against me and I want his good deeds.

This isn't the Mizan anymore, this isn't the beginning of the day of judgment.

And Allah SubhanAllah says to him,

Look up and look at this Paradise.

And so he looks up and he sees the inside of Jannah through its gates.

And he says, Ya Rabbi,

He says, O my Lord, I see these palaces and these places of gold that are laced with pearls.
