Pray at its proper time; Be kind & respectful towards your parents; Strive hard against evil forces with patience & perseverance while keeping faith in Allah SWT alone

This hadith is about the deeds that take one closer to paradise. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that prayer at its proper time is the first deed which takes one nearer to paradise. He then said that being kind and respectful towards parents is another deed which takes one nearer to paradise. Lastly, he said that jihad in the cause of Allah is also a deed which takes one nearer to paradise. These three deeds are essential for a person's spiritual journey as they help them become better Muslims and bring them closer to Allah SWT and His blessings in Jannah or Paradise. It teaches us how important it is for us as Muslims to be mindful of our prayers, be kind towards our parents, and strive hard in the path of Allah SWT through jihad or striving hard against evil forces with patience and perseverance while keeping faith in Him alone.
