The Condition of his Companion

 When he and fellow dwellers of Paradise look into the Hellfire, they will see this evil companion wallowing in the dungeons of Hell. Burning is its flames, screaming from its torments, pleading for help but finding none and serpents and embers of fire surround him. Allah says:

´´So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.´´ (As-Saafaar: 55)

Yes, he will see him in the midst of the fire; his colour darkened, his skin torn apart and his punishment enormous. This is the punishment of the one who exceeded the proper limit and turned away from the truth; and the one who became insolent and rejected (the truth). Upon seeing that, the heart of the believer will be filled with hoy and soar with happiness. He will thank his Rabb that he did not obey this sinful companion in the world and that he did not follow him in his misguidance. Then he will begin to blame his erstwhile companion for going astray and thank Allah for protecting him from deviation. Allah says:

´´He said: ´By Allah! You have nearly ruined me. Had it not been for the Greace of my Lord, I would vertainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell).´´ (Allah informs about that true believer that he said): ´Are we then not to die (any more)? Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? )after we have entered Paradise).´´ Truly, this is the supreme success! FOr the like of this let the workers work.´´ (As-Saafaar: 56-61)

Had he obeyed and followed him upon his disbeliev and denial of the Day of Resurrection, he too would have been brought forth to Hell alongside him.

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.
