The Slaughtering of Death

 Death assails the child and truncates his life. It assails the merchant and prevents him from his merchandise. It assails the sick and relieves him of his illness. Death assails everyone; it does not distinguish between the old and the young or between the rich and the poor. Death is a door through which everyone must enter. Death is not remembered at the time of pleasure except that is reduces it and it is not remembered at the time of comfort except that it tarnishes it. However, in Paradise, there is no death!

Allah´s Messenger salla alayhi wa sallam said:

´´When the poeple of the Fire have entered the Fire and the people of Paradise have entered Paradise, deathw ill be brought forward in the shape of a black and white ram. Then a caller will call: ´O people of Paradise! Thereupon they will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say: ´Do you know this!´ They will say: ´Yes, this is Death.´ By then all of them will have seen it. Then it will be announced again: ´O people of Hell!´ They will stretch their necks and look varefully. The caller will say: ´Do you know this?´ They will say: ´Yes, this is death.´ And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (that ram) will be slaughtered and the caller will say: ´O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death. O people of Hell! Eternity for you and no death!´´´ Then the Prophet recited:

´´And warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of grief and regrets, when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state carelssness, and they believe not.´´ (Maryam: 39)

What enormous difference will there be between the joy, delight, enjoyment and bliss of the people of Paradise and the grief, cry, loss and torment of the people of Hell.

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.
