Path to Eternal Happiness - Part 2
LOVE FOR THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH:
Allah will certainly declare on the Day of Qiyaamah, ‘Where are those people that loved each other for the sake of My grandeur? Today I shall shelter them under My shade on the Day wherein there is no shade besides My shade.’ (Sahih Muslim)
VISITING THE SICK:
The Muslim who visits his sick Muslim brother in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray for his forgiveness until the evening, and if he visits him in the evening, then seventy thousand angels pray for his forgiveness until the morning. And he will be granted a mansion (for it) in Jannah. (Tirmizi)
HELPING THOSE IN DEBT:
Whoever provides ease for someone who is burdened with debt, Allah will provide ease for him in this world and the Aakhirah. (Sahih Muslim)
CONCEALING THE FAULTS OF OTHERS:
The Muslim who conceals the faults of another Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Qiyaamah. (Sahih Muslim)
MAINTAINING FAMILY TIES:
Family ties are suspended from the Arsh (Throne of Allah). It proclaims: Whoever upholds me, may Allah keep good relations with him and whoever severs me, may Allah sever His relation (of mercy) from him.(Bukhaari and Muslim)
GOOD CHARACTER:
Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] was asked about the deeds, which lead most of the people into Jannah. He replied, ‘The fear of Allah and good manners.’ (Tirmizi)
TRUTHFULNESS:
I enjoin upon you truthfulness for indeed truthfulness guides towards virtue, and virtue certainly leads to Jannah. (Bukhaari and Muslim)
SUPPRESSING OF ANGER:
He who suppresses his anger despite being able to express it, Allah will call him in front of the whole of mankind on the Day of Qiyaamah and allow him to choose whichever Hoor he desires. (Tirmizi)
PATIENCE:
No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick from a thorn but that Allah wipes out (some of) his sins for that. (Sahih Bukhaari)
KINDNESS TO PARENTS:
(May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced! May he be disgraced!) ‘Who, O Messenger of Allah?’ asked the Sahaabah [radhiallaahu anhum]. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] replied, ‘The person who finds one or both of his parents in old age, yet fails to enter Jannah (by not serving them).’ (Sahih Muslim)
TO FULFILL THE NEEDS OF WIDOWS AND THE POOR:
He who fulfills the needs of widows and the poor is like one who strives in the path of Allah, like one who continuously spends the night in Ibaadah (worship) and like one who fasts without breaking it. (Sahih Bukhaari)
TAKING CARE OF ORPHANS:
‘I and the person who supports an orphan shall be as close in Jannah as these (index and middle) fingers are to each other’. (Sahih Bukhaari)
WUDHU:
Whoever performs wudhu properly, his sins fall off from his body, even from beneath his fingernails. (Sahih Muslim)
DUA AFTER WUDHU:
Whoever performs wudhu properly and then says (the following words), all the eight doors of Jannah are opened for him and he is allowed to enter from whichever one he desires: (Sahih Muslim)
DU’A AFTER AZAAN:
Whoever listens to the Azaan and says (the following words), my intercession will become compulsory for him on the Day of Qiyaamah:
O Allah! Lord of this Perfect Call and of the regular salaah (prayer), which is going to be established! Kindly give Muhammad r the right of intercession and superiority and send him (on the Day of Judgement) to the best and highest place (in Jannah) which You have promised him. *Verily You do not go back on Your promise.* (Baihaqi) (Sahih Bukhaari, Baihaqi)
BUILDING A MUSJID (MOSQUE):
Whoever builds a musjid for the pleasure of Allah, Allah will build for him (a house) like it in Jannah. (Sahih Bukhaari)
