Qur'an will come on Judgment as a man who..

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

'The Qur'aan will come on the Day of Resurrection like a pale man saying to its companion, "Do you recognize me? I am the one who made you stay up at night and made you thirsty during the day…" Then he will be given dominion in his right hand and eternity in his left, and a crown of dignity will be placed upon his head, and his parents will be clothed with garments which far surpass everything to be found in this world. They will say, "O Lord, how did we earn this?" It will be said to them, "Because you taught your child the Qur'aan."'"

(Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat, 6/51).

Our body parts warn our tongue!

Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

"When man wakes up in the morning each day, all parts of the body warn the tongue saying,

'Fear Allah as regards us for we are at your mercy; if you are upright,

we will be upright and if you are crooked, we become crooked.'"

(At-Tirmidhee)

Wudhu makes us glow on Judgment Day

The Messenger of Allah sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam went to the (Baqi`) cemetery and said:

"May you be secured from punishment, O dwellers of abode of the believers! We, if Allah wills, will follow you. I wish we see my brothers."

The Companions said, "O Messenger of Allah! Are not we your brothers?"

He said, "You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who have not come into the world yet."

They said; "O Messenger of Allah! How will you recognize those of your Ummah who are not born yet?"

He said, "Say, if a man has white-footed horses with white foreheads among horses which are pure black, will he not recognize his own horses?"

They said; "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "They (my followers) will come with bright faces and white limbs because of Wudu'; and I will arrive at the Haud (Al-Kauthar) ahead of them."

An angel defends you when you don't argue

"Once, a person was verbally abusing Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) while the Prophet (S.A.W.S.) was curiously watching with a smile. After taking much abuse quietly, Abu Bakr responded to a few of his comments. At this, the Prophet (S.A.W.S.) exhibited his disapproval, got up and left.

Abu Bakr caught up with the Prophet (S.A.W.S.) and wondered, 'O Messenger of Allah, he was abusing me and you remained sitting. When I responded to him, you disapproved and got up.'

The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S.) responded, 'There was an angel with you responding to him. When you responded to him, Shaytan took his place.'

He (S.A.W.S.) then said: 'O Abu Bakr, there are three solid truths: If a person is wronged and he forbears it (without seeking revenge) just for the sake of Allah almighty, Allah will honor him and give him the upper hand with His help; if a person opens a door of giving gifts for cementing relationships with relatives, Allah will give him abundance; and, if a person opens a door of seeking charity for himself to increase his wealth, Allah will further reduce his wealth.'"


(Musnad Ahmad)

Greatness of Seeking knowledge

The Prophet Mohammad said:

"Whoever treads on a path in search of Islamic knowledge, Allah will ease the way to Paradise for him. The angels will lower their wings, pleased with this seeker of knowledge, and everyone in the heavens and on earth will ask forgiveness for the knowledgeable person, even the fish in the deepest of waters will ask for his forgiveness."

[Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, Tirmidhi # 2835-sahih hadith]

WHY does Allah test us? (3:179)

Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until He distinguishes the wicked from the good.

(Qur'an 3:179)

Commentary: Allah creates certain situations in which the faith of those who profess to believe is severely tested. The result is that the man of faith stands out clearly from the hypocrite.

Allah tests with GOOD and BAD

Allah tests with difficulties, as well as, blessings:

Allah says:

“Every soul shall taste of death. And We will test you with evil and with good by way of trial. And to Us is your return.”

[Sûrah al-Anbiyâ’: 35].

“Know that your wealth and your children are but a trial and that Allah has with Him a mighty reward.”

[Sûrah al-Anfâl: 28]

Many people do not realize that they are tried just as severely with the good that they are given as they are by the misfortunes that befall them.

Allah says:

“And as for man, whenever his Lord tries him by honoring him and makes him lead an easy life, he says: ‘My Lord honors me’. But when He tries him by straitening his means of subsistence, he says: ‘My Lord has disgraced me’.”

[Sûrah al-Fajr: 15-16]
