الطريق إلى الله


Explanation:
stick with what you have chosen , I guess it sounds terrific , and it will be proper in my opinion to translate as " الطريق إلى الله" , it means like " your paved\ clear way to allh"

Gateway to Paradise is probably more appropriate


Explanation:
Greetings.

The expression "Gateway (or Entrance) to Paradise" - rather than the original proposed phrase - may be more appropriate and logical.

The expression "Gateway to Allah" suggests apostasy (Arabic: "shirk").

Khair, in sha' Allah.

Alternatively,"the path or direction to Allah" (don't know how I inserted the word "paradise," as that clearly doesn't fit).

disagree  Amira Rashwan: this doesn't mesn "shirk" by any way sir , it's figurative expression , and the Holly quraan includes alot of highly effictive expressions like that
