A Transgressor Against The Weak

 Whoever transgressed against the weak with his power and authority, or exploited his position to oppress the weak and subjugate them, he will be punished on the Day of Judgment.

It is recorded in the hadith of Aisha that a man sat in the presence of the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam and said, O Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam, I have two slaves who belie, betray and disobey me and I curse and beat them, how am I in relation to them?

The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said,

They will be called to account concerning their betrayal of you, their disobedience and belying. As for the punishment you meted to them, if it is in proportion to their sin, then it is balanced. It is neither for you nor against you. If your punishment to them is less than their sins, then the excess will be for you. If your punishment of them is more than their sins, then the excess will be exacted from you on their behalf.

The man withdrew and began to weep and cry. The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said, 

Did you not read the Book of Allah, And We shall set up balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything. And if there be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And Sufficient are We as Reckoners. (Surah Al-Ambiyaa: 47)

The man said, By Allah O Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam, I do not find a better option and eschew it. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam has mentioned that oppression will result in darkness for the gulity on the Day of Resurrection, He said, Be on your guard against committing oppression, for opression is darkness on the Day of Resurrevtion.

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.
