Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) the true and truly inspired, narrated to us, “The creation of everyone of you starts with
the process of collecting the material for his body within forty days and forty nights in the womb of
his mother. Then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period (40 days) and then he becomes
like a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then an angel is sent to him (by Allah) and the angel is
allowed (ordered) to write four things; his livelihood, his (date of) death, his deeds, and whether he
will be a wretched one or a blessed one (in the Hereafter) and then the soul is breathed into him. So
one of you may do (good) deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise so much that there is nothing
except a cubit between him and Paradise but then what has been written for him decides his behavior
and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) and (ultimately) enters Hell
(Fire); and one of you may do (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) so much so that
there is nothing except a cubit between him and Hell (Fire), then what has been written for him
decides his behavior and he starts doing (good) deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and
ultimately) enters Paradise.” (See Hadith No. 430, Vol. 4)

A Jewish Rabbi came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Muhammad! Allah will put the Heavens on one
finger and the earth on one finger, and the trees and the rivers on one finger, and the rest of the
creation on one finger, and then will say, pointing out with His Hand, ‘I am the King.’ “On that Allah’s
Apostle smiled and said, “No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to Him. (39.67)

Once I stayed overnight at the house of (my aunt ) Maimuna while the Prophet (ﷺ) was with her, to see
how was the night prayer of Allah s Apostle Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) talked to his wife for a while and then
slept. When it was the last third of the night (or part of it), the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and looked towards the
sky and recited the Verse:– ‘Verily! In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth….there are indeed
signs for the men of understanding.’ (3.190)
Then He got up and performed the ablution, brushed his teeth and offered eleven rak`at. Then Bilal
pronounced the Adhan whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) offered a two-rak`at (Sunna) prayer and went out to
lead the people in Fajr (morning compulsory congregational prayer.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Paradise and Hell (Fire) quarrelled in the presence of their Lord. Paradise said, ‘O
Lord! What is wrong with me that only the poor and humble people enter me ?’ Hell (Fire) said, I have
been favored with the arrogant people.’ So Allah said to Paradise, ‘You are My Mercy,’ and said to
Hell, ‘You are My Punishment which I inflict upon whom I wish, and I shall fill both of you.’” The
Prophet added, “As for Paradise, (it will be filled with good people) because Allah does not wrong any
of His created things, and He creates for Hell (Fire) whomever He will, and they will be thrown into
it, and it will say thrice, ‘Is there any more, till Allah (will put) His Foot over it and it will become full
and its sides will come close to each other and it will say, ‘Qat! Qat! Qat! (Enough! Enough! Enough!)
.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Some people will be scorched by Hell (Fire) as a punishment for sins they
have committed, and then Allah will admit them into Paradise by the grant of His Mercy. These
people will be called, ‘Al-Jahannamiyyin’ (the people of Hell).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth, the year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of these four)
three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa’da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab
Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha’ban.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked us, “Which month
is this?” We said, “Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.” He kept quiet so long that we thought he
might call it by another name. Then he said, “Isn’t it Dhul-Hijja?” We said, “Yes.” He asked “What
town is this?” We said, “Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.’ Then he kept quiet so long that we
thought he might call it by another name. He then said, “Isn’t it the (forbidden) town (Mecca)?” We
said, “Yes.” He asked, “What is the day today?” We said, “Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.
Then he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might call it by another name. Then he said, “Isn’t it
the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifices)?” We said, “Yes.” Then he said, “Your blood (lives),
your properties,” (the sub narrator Muhammad, said: I think he also said): “..and your honor) are as
sacred to one another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of
yours.
You shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Don’t go astray after me by
striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform it to those
who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of
the present audience.” Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad mentioned that statement, he would
say, “The Prophet (ﷺ) said the truth.”) And then the Prophet (ﷺ) added, “No doubt! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s
Message to you! No doubt! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s Message to you?”

A son of one of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) was dying, so she sent a person to call the Prophet. He
sent (her a message), “What ever Allah takes is for Him, and whatever He gives is for Him, and
everything has a limited fixed term (in this world) so she should be patient and hope for Allah’s
reward.” She then sent for him again, swearing that he should come. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) got up, and so did
Mu`adh bin Jabal, Ubai bin Ka`b and ‘Ubada bin As-Samit. When he entered (the house), they gave
the child to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) while its breath was disturbed in his chest. (The sub-narrator said: I think
he said, “…as if it was a water skin.”) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) started weeping whereupon Sa`d bin ‘Ubada
said, “Do you weep?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are
merciful (to others).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever takes the property of a Muslim by taking a false oath, will meet Allah
Who will be angry with him.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited the Verse:– ‘Verily those who purchase a
small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter,
neither will Allah speak to them, nor look at them.’ (3.77)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “(There are) three (types of persons to whom) Allah will neither speak to them on
the Day of Resurrections, nor look at them (They are):–(1) a man who takes a false oath that he has
been offered for a commodity a price greater than what he has actually been offered; (2) and a man
who takes a false oath after the `Asr (prayer) in order to grab the property of a Muslim through it; (3)
and a man who forbids others to use the remaining superfluous water. To such a man Allah will say on
the Day of Resurrection, ‘Today I withhold My Blessings from you as you withheld the superfluous
part of that (water) which your hands did not create.’ ”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There will be none among you but his Lord will speak to him, and there will be
no interpreter between them nor a screen to screen Him.”
