The People of Paradise
The People of Paradise: The People of Paradise Will Inherit The Portion of Paradise That Would Have Gone to the People of Hell
Allah has given two positions to every descendent of Aadam: a position in Jannah and a position in Jahanam. Then whoever is destined to damnation of the kuffaar and mushrikeen will inherit the positions in Hell that had been allocated to the people of Paradise, and those of the people of Paradise for whom eternal bliss is decreed will inherit the portions of Paradise that had been allocated to the people of Hell. After describing the good deeds that would earn Paradise for the successful believers, Allah said, "These are indeed the inheritors, who shall inherit the Fridays"
Ibn Katheer said in his commentary on this aayah: "Ibn Abi Haatim said - and he quoted to the isnaad going back to Abu Hurayrah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"There is no one among you who does not have two positions, one in Paradise and one in Hell. The believer will have a house built for him in Paradise, and his house in Hell will be demolished". A similar report was narrated from Sa'eed ibn Jubayr.
The believers will inherit the positions of the kuffaar, because those positions were created for those who worship Allah (swt) alone and do not associate anything in worship with Him, because they did what they were commanded to do as far as worship is concerned, whilst the kuffaar neglected the duty for which they had been created. So the believers gained the share that the kuffaar would have gained if they had obeyed Allah (swt) and they will gain even more than that. Muslim reported from Abu Burdah from Abu Musaa that the Prophet (saw) said: "Some people amongst the Muslims will come on the Day of Resurrection with sins as great as a mountain. Allah will forgive them, and will pass [the burden of sin] to the Jews and Christians". According to another version of this hadith, the Prophet (saw) said, "When the Day of Judgement comes, Allah (swt) will allocate a Jew or Christian for every Muslim and will say, "This is your ransom from the Fire". This hadith reflects the words of Allah (swt):
"Such is the Paradise which We shall give as an inheritance to those of Our slaves who have been al-Muttaqoon" [19:63] and
"This is the Paradise which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds which you used to do [in the life of this world]" [43:72] [Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 5/10]
sleepy anyone?hehe
Would you like to know what happens when you sleep??
Allah says in the Quran:
It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed. Verily in this are Signs for those who reflect.
Quran, Chapter 39 verse 42
This means: every time you sleep, Allah takes your souls, amongst many other souls he takes during sleeping. Then Allah decides who is going to be given another chance. For those who are blessed with another chance, Allah will permit their souls to go back to their bodies, the rest he keeps back from returning to life i.e. they die.
This means: each time you go to bed you should never be sure you will get up again, you ONLY have 50% chance for coming back to life.
This means: each time you go to bed you should be prepared for your hereafter.
This means: when you wake up the next day you should appreciate how lucky (blessed) you are. And say 'Blessed be the one who returned my soul to my body, and granted me another chance'. This is what the prophet PBUH used to say when he woke up.
This means: when you wake up the next day you should make sure you utilize the new day as much as you can before sleep time comes, in case the new day you are living is the last chance you are given.
This means: you should try to make sure you recite surah AL-MULK (chapter 67) before sleeping, because the prophet PBUH promised that one who reads.
This surah before sleeping is saved from the punishment of the grave. May Allah forgive us all and bless us with a happy life in this dunya and the hereafter.
parents...
it was once foretold that parents are the pillars of strength,honour,love,dignity and everything nice..
they are your shoulder to cry on,
source of love and care.
not even once u thought that your pillars will one day crumble,
one by one as it fall,
tears of hate and pain catalysts the destruction,
not even once u would expect that ur on ur own,
every second u live,
every second of hatred n anger.
picnics, overnights, bbq, holidays....
wonder how easy it is for an adult to leave,
leave boldly,
with no sense of guidance,
i was left in great darkness,
only God as my source of guidance....
yatim was an alien word to me,
lest i know i will be one of them soon,
with every days passing by,not one have i felt the love of a parent
the day he flew off,
tears flow through my ego,
right from the terminal til i reach home...
it was tears of great sadness and sorrow...
unfortunately
but i have just wasted my precious tears,
should have gathered enough courage...
pillar by pillar,
as it crumbles,
along with hopes and strength....
failure in love and care,
though in need of that for career...
every nite of sorrow and hatred,
wonder how it feels otherwise...
as i look upon another pillar for support,
it failed...
down it came alongside my pride and hope..
hatred triumph over happiness,
anger won over care n concern......
im lost.......
im lost.....
im lost.
