 The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam gave us exhortation and described events that will occur on the Day of Resurrection. When a believer reads these ahadith, it spurs him to act righteously and abstain from atrocious deeds. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam informed us of the last man to be saved from Hellfire and enter Paradise. What is his story? How will he be saved from Hellfire? What will be his comfort in Paradise?

 Whoever acts righteously does so for himself and whoever acts unrighteously equally does so at his own peril.

 Arrogance is pride, self-conceit, treating other people with contempt and disdain and despising them. How many times has arrogance prevented arrogant people from acknowledging other people´s rights, spurred them to harming believers, not giving them any excuse. How many times had it prevented them from keeping the ties of kinshup abandoning salaah in congreation in the mosque because they feel too superior to mingle with the common and poor people` The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said, in what he reported from his LORD: ´´Arrogance is MY ridaa (cover cloth) and greatness is MY izaar (loin cloth), whoever contends with Me in any of them, I will cast him into Hellfire. Whoever approaches me by the span of a hand; I will draw near him by the span of an outstretched arm. Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to him hastening. Whoever comes to Me hastening, I will come to him running. Whoever remembers Me in himself, I will remember him in Myself. Whoever remembers Me in an assem...

 Allah has permitted for us pure things and created for us all that is on the earth. It is permissible to drink in all pure vessels except that of gold and silver. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said:  ´´One who drinks from vessels of gold and silver only gulps the fire of Jahanam into his stomach.´´143

 Sincerity and following the Sunnah are the two foundations for acceptance of deeds. Seeking knowledge is one of the most meritorious and greatest righteous deeds. It is the bequest of the Prophets, means of guidance for the believers. It increases with sincerity and proper intention. Whoever intends show-off, ostentation and popularity with his wuest for knowledge he will bring upon himself failure and loss. The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Whoever acquired knowledge which is sought for the pleasure of Allah but he sought it to obtain any of the perks of the world, he will not smell the fragrance of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.´´142

 Taking life wrogfully is one of the most erious sins; even when a person takes his own life, regardless of the means of the suicide. The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who killed himself by falling from (the top of) a mountain will constantly fall in the Fire of Hell and will abide there forever and ever. He who drank posion and killed himself will find that posion in his hand and he will continuously sip that in the Fire of Hell where he is doomed forever and ever. He who killed himself with steel (weapon) will be the eternal denizen of the Fire of Hell and he will have that weapon in his hand and will be thrusting that in his stomach forever and ever.´´141

 To display charm, walk around half-naked, shamelessness in dressing and not covering up are factors that spread corruption and immorality. Hence, Allah commands us to cover and adopt modesty. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam informed us that women that display their adornment and walk half-naked are among the people fo the Fire, just as oppressors who torture and beat people with batons and whips are. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned these two types of peole in the following hadith: ´´I have not seen two types (of people) amongst the denizens of Hell: the first are people who wield whips like the tail of an ox with which they flog people. (The second one) are the women who would be naked despite being dressed, who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce other with their hair high like humps of bukht camel. These women will not enter Paradise and tehy will not perceive its fragrance, although its fragrance can be perceived from such distance (from great distance).´´14...
