The Qur´an

 The Qur´an is the Word of Allah the Exalted; (a means) of nearness to Allah. Itsreciter gets a reward for every letter he recites. It is honour for its reciter in this world and salvation in the Hereafter. It will intercede for its companion (reciter) on the Day of Resurrection as Allah´s Messenger salla alayhi wa sallam pointed out:

´´Read the Qur´an for it will come as an intercessor for its companions on the Day of Resurrection.´´36

The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam also said:

´´The Qur´an will come on the Day of Reusrrection and it will say: O Lord, adorn him´ and he would be made to wear a crown of honour. It would say again: ´O Lord, increase it (i.e. his adornment) and he would be dressed in a robe of honour and then it will say: ´O Lord, be pleased with him´ and he would be granted (Allah´s) pleasure. He will say: ´Recite and ascend´ and a good deed will be added for every verse.´´37

Allah´s Messenger salla alayhi wa sallam also said:

´´The Qur´an will meet its companion (i.e. reciter) on teh Day of Resurrection, when his grave will split open, in the form of an emaciated man and it will say: ´Do toy recognize me?´

And he (the reciter) will say: ´I do not recognize you.´

It wil say: ´I am the Qur´an; your companion which kept you thirsty in your mid-days and kept you sleepless in your night. Every merchant stands behind its merchandize. Today you will be behind every merchandise.´

He will be granted sovereignty on his right hand and eternity on his left and a crown of dignity will be pæaced on his head and his parents will be dressed in tow robes. They will say: ´Why have we been dressed in these robes?´

It wil be said: ´Due to your child´s memorization of the Qur´an. ´then it will be said to him: ´recite and asend in the levels of Paradise and its chambers´ and he wil continue to ascend as long as he recites whether in a rapid or measured tone.´´´38

The Qur´an will come as an intercessor to its reciter on the Day of resurrection and the two surahs of al-Baqarah and Aal-´Imraan will both plead on behalf of their reciter on the Day of reusrrection. Whoever reads the Qur´an a lot, especially the two surahs of al-Baqarah and Aal-Imraan, is entitled to intercession of the Day of Resurrection.

Allah´s Messenger salla alayhi wa sallam said:

´recite the Qur´an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it. Recite the two bright ones: al-Baqarah and Surah Aal-´Imraan, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them.´´39

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.
