Introduction

 A large number of our nation i.e. that of our Prophet Muhammad salla alayhi wa sallam whose number only Allah knows will enter Paradise. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said:

´´The people were displayed in front of me and I saw one prophet passing by with a large group of his followers, and another prophet passing by with only a small group of people, and another prophet passing by with only ten (people), and another prophet passing by with only five (people), and another prophet passed by alone- And then I lokked and saw a large multitude of people, so I aksed Jibreel: ´Are these people my followers?´ He said: ´No, but look towards the horizon.´ I looked and saw a very large multitude of people. Jibreel said: ´Those are your followers, and there are seventy thousand (people) in front of them who will not have any reckoning of their accounts nor will they receive any punishment.´ I asked: ´Why?´ He said: ´For they didn´t seek treatment with branding (cauterization) or with ruqya (get oneself treated bu tje recitation of some verses of the Qur´an) and they didn´t see evil omen in things, and they put their trust (only) in their Lord. ´´242
