Fasting

 Fasting is from the greatest, most important and most beneficial acts of worship. The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said:

´´Évery righteous deed of the children of Aadam is rewarded by ten times its kind, up to seven hundrede times. Allah says: ´... except fasting, which is for Me, and I reward it. ´He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. there are two joys for the fasting person; one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will met his Lord. The breath of his fasting person is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk. ´´42

The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam also said:

´´He who observes a fast for a day for the sake of allah, He will remove his face from the hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years´ distance. ´´43

There is a gate in al-Jannah called ar-Rayyaan; through which a fasting person will enter and no one will enter through it other than them. When they have entered, it will be closed and no other person will enter (through it). Fasting will intercede for the slave on the Day of Resurection as Allah´s Messenger salla alayhi wa salam mentioned:

´´Fasting and Qur´an will intercede for the slave on the Day of Resurection. Fasting will say: ´O Lord, I prevented him from food and desires during the day, so accept my plea on his behalf. The Qur´an will say: ´I prevented him from sleep in the night, so accept my plea on his behalf.´

He said: ´And they both will intercede.´´´44

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.
