Wednesday, February 1, 2012


-"The doors of Paradise will be opened on Monday and on Thursday , and every servant (of Allah) who associates nothing with Allah will be forgiven ,except for the man who has a grudge against his brother."
-"Gardens of perpetual bliss -they shall enter them, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring . And Angels shall enter upon them every gate." (ar-Ra'd:23)
-"This is a reminder. Verily, for the righteous is a beautiful place of (final) return-gardens of eternity, whose doors will (always)  be open  for them." (Saad:49-50)
-"And those who feared their Lord  will be led to the Garden in crowds, until behold , they arrive there. its gates will be opened, and its keepers will say "PEACE BE UPON YOU"  Well have you done , do enter it, abiding (in it) eternally ." (Az-Zumar:73)
-Sahl bin Sa'd reported that the Prophet (Salla Allahu alyhi wa sallam) said: "Paradise has eight gates and one of them is called ar-Rayyan , through none will enter both those who observe fasting."[Al Bukhaari]
-Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever spends two things in the way of Allah will be called from the gates of Paradise and will be addressed. "Oh slave of Allah!, here is porsperity" So whoever was among the people who used to offer their prayers will be called from the gate of the prayer; and whoever was among the people who use to participate in Jihaad, will be called from the gate of Jihaad; and whoever was amongs those who used to perform fast will be called from the door of ar-Rayyan ; and whoever was amongs those who used to give charity will be called from the gate of charity." Abu Bakr said: "Let my parents be sacrificed for you, oh Allah's apostle! No distress or need will befall him who will be called from those gate. Will there be anyone who will be called from all those gates?" The Prophet (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) replied: Yes, I hope you will be one of them." ( Al Bukhaari)
-'Uqba Ibn Amir said: "We were entrusted with the task of tending the camels. On my turn, when I came back  in the evening after grazing them in the pastures, I found Allah's Messenger (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) stand and address the people . I heard these words of his " If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and pray two raka's, setting about them with his heart as well , as his face, Paradise will be guaranteed to him." I said: What a fine thing this is! A narrator who was before me said: The first was even better than this.When I cast a glance , I saw that it was 'Umar who said " I see that you have just come and observed. If anyone among you performs the ablution , completess the ablution well and says: "I TESTIFY THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND THAT MOHAMMED IS THE SERVANT OF ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER". Then the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes." (Muslim).
-Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said: " The gates of Paradise will be opened on Monday and Thursday and every servant (of Allah) who associates nothing with Allah will be forgiven ,except for the man who has a grudge against his brother.(about them) it will be said: "Delay these two until they are reconciled. Delay these two until they are reconciled, Delay these two until they are reconciled" (Muslim, Maalik, Abu Dawood)
