Characteristics of the people of jannah

alhamduillah praise be to Allah because today i had a chance to watch this very meaningful video by ustaz nouman ali khan in the midst of pathology revision. I never heard of his sermon before this. i came across his first video about 'ISLAM and EGO' a couple of days ago after my friend give the link for the video. However i'm not going to write about that video. i'm going to talk about this particular video; characteristics of the people of jannah (heaven). He quoted verses 133-136 from surah ali imran. in those particular verses, Allah describes the people of jannah as

1.They give sadaqah(charity) when they are in ease or hard
2.They hold their anger by swallowing it
3.They forgive others and pray for their forgiveness
4.They ask for Allah's forgiveness when they do fahisyah (shameless deeds) and when they do unjust deeds to themselves. They will not knowingly repeat their sin. This is a remind for myself. I'm just a slave who always go astray. mMay Allah guide my path. ameen ya rabbal 'alamin.
