Are there verses which command people to be “holy” and is “holiness” a pre-requisite for entering into Heaven?

Bible: Yes       Qur'an: No

Leviticus 11:44 – For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 – 16. ye are the temple of God. 17. the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Hebrews 12:14 – Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

1 Peter 1:15-16 – 15. But, as he who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of life, 16. Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy…

Revelation 22:11 – and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Note: There are no verses in the Qur'an which command people to be holy or indicate that they can be holy.
