Summary
A hadith narrated from Umar R.A, recorded by Muslim and Abu Daud among others, states that whoever performs ablution fully and then recites the testimony of faith will have the eight gates of Paradise opened and may enter through any gate he wishes. The meaning of the gates being opened is explained in two views. The first is that Allah makes easy the path of righteous deeds leading to those gates. The second is that the gates will be opened on the Day of Judgement, with the past tense used to stress that it is certain and near.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
