Agreed. In the Quran, Moo-ham-ad said that even if you're a very good Muslim and do your appropriate violence and rape and stealing and lying and such to please Allah, there's still no guarantee you'll get into Heaven. Because Allah still can decide who gets in or out based on his whim. The only exception to that is if you kill someone for the purpose of jihad. Then you're guaranteed to get in.

In the Life of Mohammad (a haddith) a follower asks, “How many people can Paradise hold?”
Mohammad answers, “72,000”
A huge, very big number for the time.
