I would go for after death where I would be with Hazrat Abu Bkr, Umer, Usman and Ali. Along with some of the holy persons u mentioned. Stick to ur faith but dont try to look down othhers.
Degas..Na Na..i am not looking down others..Just letting you know the easy way to Janat sa karbala ka hai rasta mila mila.
As far as my faith is concern,when i was born i had same faith,will die with same faith and will be going to janat with same faith..ameen
I dont need any short cut to Jannat and I dont think any muslim like Sahaba karam or family of Prophet took that.
You r dead sure of going to Jannat where as I can never be sure about that. I would try my best but its only in Allahs hand. If he likes it I can be blessed. i think there is a day of judgement that will decide our fate.
