Arrogance

 Arrogance is pride, self-conceit, treating other people with contempt and disdain and despising them. How many times has arrogance prevented arrogant people from acknowledging other people´s rights, spurred them to harming believers, not giving them any excuse. How many times had it prevented them from keeping the ties of kinshup abandoning salaah in congreation in the mosque because they feel too superior to mingle with the common and poor people`

The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said, in what he reported from his LORD:

´´Arrogance is MY ridaa (cover cloth) and greatness is MY izaar (loin cloth), whoever contends with Me in any of them, I will cast him into Hellfire. Whoever approaches me by the span of a hand; I will draw near him by the span of an outstretched arm. Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to him hastening. Whoever comes to Me hastening, I will come to him running. Whoever remembers Me in himself, I will remember him in Myself. Whoever remembers Me in an assembly, I will remember him in a greater and purer assembly than that.´´144

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.
