The Muazzin (Call to Prayer)

 Calling to prayer is an act of piety and worship. If the people knew the virtue of making the adhaan, they would race to it and cast lot over it. How would the muezzin not be honorable when he raises his voice with the statement of tawheed and announces it. The Messenger of Allah alayhi wa sallam said, The muezzin will have the longest neck among the people on the Day of Qiyaamah.

A long neck is a sign of beauty and it is appropriate to the righteous deeds of making the adhaan, since they convery with their voices the words of the adhaan which announces Allahs Onesness and invites to the prayer. Every fresh and dry and dry object to which his voice reaches in the world will bear witness for the muezzin.

Abu Saeed il-Khudree once said to Abdur Rahman Ibn Saah, I see that you like sheep and the wilderness. So whenever you are with your sheep or in the wilderness and you want to call the adhaan for the prayer, raise your voice in doing so, for no one hears the Adhaan, whether a human being a jinn or any other creature, except that he will be a witness for you on the Day og Resurrection.

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
