Two Categories of People of Paradise

There are two categories of people of Paradise: first are those who live in the neighbourhood of God, and the second are those who will be safe from the Fire. Indallah category is of those who will find a place in God's neighbourhood. Mubad min al-nar are those who will not live in God's neighbourhood, but will be safe from punishment.

A study of the Quran tells us that there will be three kinds of people in the Hereafter. The first will be those who will be cast into Hell. The people of Paradise will be in two groups. This is why the Quran tells us that there are two levels of Paradise. The first category are muqtasid and the second category are sabiqun. (35:32)
Muqtasid are those who fulfil God's injunctions in a normal way. Sabiqun are those who go to great extents to take up a part in God's cause. The Quran mentions the prayer of Pharaoh's wife: "My Lord, build me a house in nearness to You in Paradise." (66:11)

Another verse says: "But those who have been promised a good reward by Us will be kept far away from Hell." (21:101)  There is a category which will be 'kept far away from Hell'. These people will remain safe from the Fire. There are two categories: first are those who live in the neighbourhood of God, and the second are those who will be safe from the Fire. Indallah category is of those who will find a place in God's neighbourhood. Mubad min al-nar are those who will not live in God's neighbourhood, but will be safe from punishment. If you go to meet an important person, he will arrange you to be seated somewhere. But if you are a very dear friend of his, he will seat you near himself. He will talk to you and exchange thoughts with you. There are two categories of people of Paradise: those who are kept safe from the Hell and will live comfortably away from the Fire. The other category is of those who will live in God's neighbourhood. There is a lot of difference between the two categories. 
What you seek depends on your resolve. In which category do you want to be? I want my companions to seek to be in the category of those who get to live in God's neighbourhood.
