7 in the shade of Allah(swt)
I N THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL.
The Prophet saw has said "Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His"
"On the Day of Resurrection, the sun would draw so close that there would be left a distance of only one mile. The people will be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their ankles some up to their there knees, some up to their waist and some would have the bridle of perspiration and while saying this, the Messenger of Allah put his hand towards his mouth."
So who would want more than of this Day to be under the Shade and protection of Allah swt?
What are the virtues of these Seven categories of people who are worthy of such an exaltation on the Day of Gathering.
The Seven Under The Shade Are:-
1) A Just Ruler :- Justice means giving each person the Right he deserves, Muslim or Non -Muslims, Relatives or Strangers, Friends or Enemies. Allah swt says, :... And donot let hatred cause you act unjustly, that is nearer to piety."
"The doers of Justice will be on a throne of light at Allah's right hand and both of Allah's Hands are Right Hands - Those who were Just in their Ruling, with their family and in all that over which they were given authority."
2) A youth who grew up in the worship of Allah swt.
The youth of today in their arrogance of youth waste their time on frivolous things and thinking that they will pray, wear hijab etc when they are older, as if they have a guarantee from Allah swt.
The Prophet saw has said "Take benefit of Five before Five: Your youth before your old age, Your health before your sickness, Your wealth before your Poverty, Your free time before you are preoccupied and Your life before your death.
3) A man whose Heart is attached to the Mosque.
The Mosque is a refuge for a Muslim " he does not take a step ( towards the Mosque), except that because of it, he is raised by one rank and one sin is removed from him(for) as long as he remains in the place of Prayers (saying): O Allah send blessings upon him, O Allah have mercy upon him."
4) Two Men who love each other for Allah's sake, meeting for that and parting upon that. Having mutual love for each other for the sake of Allah is one of the great doors leading to the good of the Hereafter and a cause of tasting the sweetness of Eeman (faith) in this world.
Allah swt says: "Those who have mutual love for the sake of My Glory will have pillars of light and will be envied by the Prophets and Martyrs."
SubhanAllah! imagine being envied by Allah's chosen Messengers and those who were slain on His Path! Such is the reward of those who love one another for Allah's sake.
5) A man who is called by a woman of beauty and position but he says : "I fear Allah"
This world is full of temptations, which lead to burning in the fire, and amongst them is that which comes from women. Many men have lead their souls into destruction on account of the lure of women , which is why the Prophet saw has his followers specifically about this. He saw said? The world is sweet and green and verily Allah is going to install you as successors upon it in order to see how you act , So avoid the temptation of women, verily the first trial for the Children of Israa?eel was caused by women.?
?And as for him who feared standing before his Lord and restrained himself from impure evil desires, verily Paradise will be his abode?.
6)) A man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity.
Allah warns us ,?O you who believe ! Do not render vain your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men and does not believe in Allah nor in the last Day?.
7) A man who remembered Allah in private and so, his eyes shed tears.
Our Noble Messenger saw informed us ?If you knew, what I knew, you would laugh little and weep much ?.
The Prophet saw said, there is nothing more beloved to Allah swt than two drops and two marks: A tear shed due to the fear of ALLAH, and a drop of blood spilled in the path of Allah, and the mark of fulfilling one of the duties made obligatory by Allah.?
