The One Who Grows Grey Hair in Islam

 Steadfastness in Islam and dying on it is an immense favour. This is as Allah says,

O you who believe! Fear Allah (by doing al that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that he has forbidden) as He should be feared [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him Always], and die not except in a state of Islam (as muslims) with complete submission to Allah. (Surah Aal-Imran:102)

Allah has has enjoined the honoring of the elders, having respect for their grey haris and recognition of their worth, as indicated the words of allahs Messenger salla alayhi wa sallam,

A youth does not honour an elderly because of his old age except that Allah decress for him for him one who would honour him in his old age.

The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam also said,

Part of glorification of Allah is showing honout to a grey-heired Muslim, to one who bears (memorizes) the Quran without acting extravagantly regarding it, or turning away from it, and showing honour to a just ruler.

He also said,

He is not part us he who does not have mercy on tou younger ones and disrespects our elder.

Allah will honour a grey-haired Muslim on the Day of Resurrection. The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever grows a grey hair in Islam, it will be light for him on the Day of 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.
