Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Jannah is nearer to anyone of you than your shoe-lace, and so is the (Hell) Fire". Al- Bukhari.
The Prophet ﷺ also wanted this message to be a source of hope for believers who have faith in Allah's mercy and forgiveness; no matter how far away one may feel from Paradise, it is still within reach if one follows Allah's commands with sincerity and dedication.
This hadith also serves as a warning against complacency; even though we may feel safe from punishment due to our current circumstances or environment, we must remember that Allah knows what lies ahead for each individual person and He will judge accordingly on Judgment Day. Therefore, it is important for all Muslims to remain vigilant in their faith by doing good deeds regularly so they can reap its rewards when the time comes.
