Allah mentions seven gates of Hell in Surah Hijr of Glorious Qur'an.
"And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all."
"It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated."
(Qur'an :Al-Hijr 15: Verse 43,44)
The gates of Hell are structured one gate below the other descending.
“But those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups until, when they reach it while its gates have been opened and its keepers say, “Peace be upon you; you have become pure; so enter it to abide eternally therein,” [they will enter]” (39:73)
The Jannah is described as surrounded by eight principal gates,each level generally being divided into a hundred degrees guarded by angels.The highest level is known as firdaws(sometimes called Eden) or Illiyin
This gate will allow those people to enter Paradise who were punctual and attentive in their prayers.
2.Baab-Al-Jihad:
Those Muslims who sacrificed their lives in the way of Islam through Jihad will enter Heaven from this gate.
This gate allows only those believers to enter who were charitable and gave Sadaqah in the way of Allah.
4.Baab Ar-Rayyaan:
The people who kept their fast with sincerity and to attain the blessings of Allah will be allowed to the Heaven through this gate.
“In Paradise there is a gate called Al-Rayyaan, through which those who used to fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection, and no one but they will enter it.When they have entered, it will be locked, & no one else will enter”(Bukhari)
Entry through this gate is reserved for those who observe the Hajj Pilgrimage
6.Baab Al-Kaazimeen Al-Ghaiz Wal Aafina Anin Naas:
The people who were able to control & suppres their anger & were forgiving towards their brethren will enter Paradise through this door
Entry through this door is for those people who were steadfast in their faith in Allah and trusted His decisions for them and lived a life that was a fulfillment of His commands.
The believers who constantly remembered Allah and did Dhikr will be allowed to enter Heaven through Baab Al-Dhikr.

Assalam Alaiki dear Sister in Islam. I hope this meets you well. Hope you are keeping safe in this pandemic. May Allah preserve you and your beloved family. I would like to address the misconception and misinterpretation in your thread. Please peruse the THREAD below.
1. First off, a disclaimer. Should you feel hurt by my words in the course of the thread, then forgive me. It’s from me and not from Islam. And I probably have to improve on my delivery. And I may not quote you verbatim, but the intended meaning would be there. Thank You!
2. Standing on Imam Shafii’s quote: “And I never debated anyone but that I did not mind whether Allah clarified the truth on my tongue or his tongue” or “I never once debated anyone hoping to win the debate; rather I always wished that the truth would come from his side.”
3. Okay, into the meat (my love for meat is showing. Lol) of the thread. Even though you didn’t mention the verse that permitted polygamy, everyone knows the verse you were talking about (Q4:3).
4. Your reasons for the revelation of the verse are strange. The first time I came across such. I had to quickly consult the books on the exegeses or tafsir of the Quran written by renowned specialists!
A lot of things Muslims do now and claim as Islamic rule is actually a culture that Islam curtailed or tried to perfect.

Let's talk polygamy.
Islam didn't come and say, "oh men, marry four wives"
No.
Polygamy was in existence, long before the coming of Islam.
