Majority of People in Paradise and Hell

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) observed that the majority of people in Paradise were poor, and the majority of people in Hell were women.

Narrated 'Imran bin Husain: The Prophet said, "I looked at Paradise and found poor people forming the majority of its inhabitants; and I looked at Hell and saw that the majority of its inhabitants were women".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ زَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اطَّلَعْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ، وَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي النَّارِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ observed that the majority of people who will be found in Paradise are those who are poor. He also noticed that most inhabitants of Hell will be women. This hadith serves as a reminder to us all to strive for righteousness and piety regardless of our financial status or gender. It is important to remember that Allah judges us based on our deeds rather than our wealth or gender. We should strive to do good deeds so we can enter Paradise with the mercy and grace from Allah SWT.

Furthermore, this hadith also serves as a warning for us all not to neglect our duties towards Allah SWT because it is easy for us to become complacent when we have wealth or power due to our gender. We must always remember that no matter how much money we have or what gender we are; if we do not fulfill our obligations towards Allah SWT then there is a chance that He may punish us by sending us into Hellfire instead of granting us entrance into His paradise. Therefore it is important for everyone - men and women alike -to remain mindful about their actions at all times so they can attain salvation from Allah SWT on the Day Of Judgment.
