The Second Call

 It is from Ahl ul-A´raaf (the people of Height) to the dwellers of al-Jannah. Ahl ul-A´raaf are the people whose good deeds are equivalent to their evil ones. Hence, they are detained between Paradise and Hell; neither entering Paradise nor Hellfire. The Ahl ul-A´raaf will recognize the dwellers of Paradise by their marks i.e. their attributes; which include whitness, bloom and attributes of pitch blackness. The Ahk ul-A´raaf will call out to the people of Paradise in salutation.

Allah says:

´´And between them will be a barrier screen and an Al-A´raaf (a wall with elevated places) will be men (whose good and evil deeds would be equal in scale), who would recognise all (of the Paradise and Hell people), by their marks (the dwellers of Paradise by their white faces and the dwellers of Hell by their black faces), they will call out to the dwellers of Paradise: Salamun ´Alaikum´ (peace be on you), and at that time they (men on Al-A´raaf) will not yet have entered it (Paradise), but they will hope to enter (it) with vertainty.´´ (Al-A´raaf: 46)

´´... they (men on Al-A´raaf) will not yet have entered it (Paradise).´´ means that Ahl ul-A´raaf will be be detained briefly but they will hope and desire to enter it.

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.
