Paradise will not be attained with wishful thinking...

 

فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا

So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as partner in the worship of his Lord.[18:110]

Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan حَفِظَهُ الله وَرُعَاه said:

This (ayah) is a proof that just hope (in meeting Allaah and attaining paradise) alone is not sufficient, it is a must that there is (righteous) action. As for you hoping in Allaah however do not accompany it with (righteous ) deeds then you have negated the reason (that will help you attain your meeting with Allaah).”

[Sharh Usool ath-thalaatha p.137]
