Those who offer salaah will have precedence in seeing Allah, the Exalted

 Our Messenger salla alayhi wa sallam used to remind his Companions at every auspicious moment that they will see their Lord in the HEreafter. He used to connect their hearts to that and trigger their yearning for it. He mentioned that whoever preserves the offering of the two Salaahs of Al-Fajr and Al-Ars will deserve to behold the Countenance of Allah, the Exalted. Jarir Ibn Abdillah narrated:

´´We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam when he raised his head to the sky on a night of a full moon and when he saw the moon he observed: ´You shall see your Lord as you are seeing this moon, and you will have no trouble in looking of Him. So if you can, do not let yourselves be overpowered from observing the prayer before the rising of the sun and its setting (i.e. the Fajr and the ´Ars prayers)´´´260

The hadith means that if you can avoid Shaytaan overpowering you from missing salaah ul-Fajr and salaah tul-Ars. then do so.

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.
