The Pleasing of the Two Opponents

 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said: ´´While the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam was sitting one day, I saw him laugh so broadly that his front tooth appeared. It was said to him: ´What made you laugh, O Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam?´ He said:

´Two men from my Ummah were on their knees in the presence of my Lord. One of them said: ´´O Lord, take for me my right from my brother.´´´Allah said: ´´Give ack to your brother his right.´´ The companions said: ´´O Lord, nothing remains of my righteous deeds.´´ The other companion said: ´´O Lord, let him bear some of my sins.´´ Then the eyes of the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam were flooded with tears. He said: ´´Tat is a Day when people will wish that others bear their sins.´´

Then Allah the Exalted said to the one demanding his right: ´´Raise your gaze.´´

He raised it and said: ´´O Lord, I can see cities of gold palaces of gold, garlanded with pearls! For which nabiy (Prophet), or siddeeq (truthful one), or shaheed (martyr) are these?´´

He said: ´´They are for whoever gives Me its price.´´

The man said: ´´Who can aford the price of all that?´´

Allah said: ´´You.´´

The man said: ´´With what?´´

Allah said: ´´With your pardon of your brother.´´

He said: ´´O Lord, I have forgiven him.´´

He (Allah) said: ´´Take your brother´s hand and lead him into Paradise.´´ Then the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam added: ´´So fear Allah and reconcile between yourselves for Allah will reconcile between the believers on the Day of Judgment.´´70

This will be the conclusion of the accounting which began before their crossing the Siraat. What is well-know to us is that from whoever revenge is exerted and from whom other people´s rights are extracted, be will undoubtedly feel pain due to that. However, all of that will vanish from him upon entering al-Jannah

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.
