4331. Mu'adh bin Jabal said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'Paradise has one hundred grades, each of which is as big as the distance between heaven and earth. The highest of them is Firdaws and the best of them is Firdaws. The Throne is above Firdaws and from it spring forth the rivers of Paradise. If you ask of Allāh, ask Him for Firdaws." (Sahih)
4331 - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الْجَنَّةُ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ، كُلُّ دَرَجَةٍ مِنْهَا مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَإِنَّ أَعْلَاهَا الْفِرْدَوْسُ، وَإِنَّ أَوْسَطَهَا الْفِرْدَوْسُ، وَإِنَّ الْعَرْشَ عَلَى الْفِرْدَوْسِ، مِنْهَا تُفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِذَا مَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَسَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ»

a. Grades of believers will be different based on their faith and deeds, similarly there are many grades in Paradise, some are more superior to others. b. Firdaws is the highest and best place of Paradise. c. The throne of Allāh is a creation which is real. So, explaining it as might of Allāh, His prestige, rule, etc., is not correct.
