In my follow up to - 'How does Muslims get into Heaven?'. Most have replied as from the Quran by faith and good deeds.
But some have emailed me the following:
Taken from Abu Huraira, Rasulullah once said, “Come near and try to be righteous! Know that every single one among you will not be saved because of his good deeds.” His friends asked, “O Rasulullah, not even you?” Rasulullah said, “Not even me, unless God grants me with His Grace and blessing.”
(Hadith Shohih Moslem, by K.H. Adib Basri Mustafa, pg. 819, 76)
Taken from Jabir, he said, “I once heard the prophet (Mohammed) SAW had once said,”There is none among you would enter heaven because of his good deeds and saved from hell, same as for me, unless through grace from God.”” (HSM. by K.H. Adib Basri Mustafa, pg. 819, 77)
Christianity offers the same as in Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."
