Al-Kauthar is the Biggest River in Paradise

 Al-Kauthar is an attribute that indcates intensiveness of abundance. It is a river that feeds the Hawdh with water.

What is the description of the water of Al-Kauthar?

What are the decriptio of the pleasure and enjoyment it offers?

There are a number ahadith describing the river of Al-Kauthar in the same manner as that of Al-Hawdh. This caused some people of knowledge to conclude that the Al-Kauthar that is meant in the following verse of the Qur´an.

´´Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad) (Peace be upon him)) Al-Kauthar (a river in Paradise).´´ is Al-Hawdh.

What is apparent is that Al-Hawdh will be on the plain of Resurrection on the Day of Qiyaamah but Al-Kauthar is a river in Paradise. The connection between the Hawdh and this river is that Al-Kauhar flows into the Hawdh and irrigates it. Hence, it is as if Al-Hawdh is a part and extension of Al-Kauthar; this is why they share the same attributes.

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.
