And he said: “You should pray qiyaam al-layl, for it is the custom of the righteous who came before you and it brings you closer to your Lord, and expiates sins and prevents misdeeds.”

The Upbringing of Three Daughters
Shaykh Allaamah Abdul Azeez bin Abdullaah Bin Baaz Rahimahullaah
Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
The Question:
The Messenger of Allaah – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said: ❝Whoever had three daughters and was patient with them, gave them drink and clothed them then they will be a screen for him from the Fire.❞
Will this screen from the Fire be just for their father alone or does the mother have a share in this? I have -all praise be to Allaah – three daughters.
The Answer:
The hadeeth is general for the father and the mother due to the Messenger’s saying: ❝Whoever has two daughters and is good to them then they will be a covering for him from the Fire.❞
Likewise, if he had sisters, aunts or similar to them and he is good to them then indeed we hope for Paradise for him due to that.
So when he is good to them he is deserving of a great reward, it will screen him from the Fire and it will come between him and the Fire due to his good deed.
This is specific to the Muslims. If a Muslim performs these good actions desiring the Face of Allaah, then he has attained a means for his salvation from the Fire.
Being saved from the Fire and entering into Paradise has many routes, so it is necessary for a believer to increase in them. Islaam itself is a single foundation and it is the fundamental reason for entering Paradise and being rescued from the Fire.
There are deeds which, if a Muslim performs them, he enters Paradise due to them and is saved from the Fire, such as the one who has been given daughters or sisters and is good to them, then they will be a screen for him from the Fire. Similarly, whoever had three of his offspring, who had not reached the age of accountability, die then they will be a screen for him from the Fire.
The Companions asked: ❝O Messenger of Allaah what about two daughters?❞
He answered: ‘Even two,’ and they did not ask him about one daughter.
It is authentically reported on the authority of the Messenger – sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – that he said: Allaah – Azza wa Jal- said, ❝For My believing slave who, if I take his close friend from the people of the Duniya and then he performs righteous actions, there is no reward except Paradise.❞
So Allaah –Subhanahu wa Ta’ala- explained that for His believing slave whose close friend He takes- i.e. His beloved – from the people of the Duniya, who is then patient and performs good deeds, He has no reward other than Paradise.
So even if one of our offspring enters this hadeeth and Allaah takes possession of him and takes him to Himself, then if that person’s father, mother or both of them are patient and they perform good deeds then they will have Paradise, and that is great excellence from Allaah.
Similarly, a husband, wife, the rest of the relatives and friends, if they are patient and perform good deeds then they enter this hadeeth provided that they are safe from that which could, perhaps, cause them to die on any of the major sins. We ask Allaah for safety.

Benefits of Eemaan in Qadr
By Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen (d.1421 A.H.) -Rahimullaah-
Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih al-Uthaymeen said in ‘Sharh al-Aqeedah al-Wasiteeyah’:
‘Having Eemaan in Qadr has benefits, from them are:
1- Qadr is from the perfection of al-Eemaan, and al-Eemaan cannot be complete without it.
2- It is from the perfection of Eemaan in Ruboobeeyah (Allaah’s Lordship), because the Qadr of Allaah is from His Actions.
3- That a person returns all his matters to his Lord; because if he knows that everything is with Allaah’s Qada and His Qadr, then he will return to Allaah in repelling harm for the relief from it, and he will attribute prosperity to Allaah and he will know that this is from the excellence of Allaah upon him.
4- That a person knows his own worth, and he does not become proud when doing good.
5- That afflictions/problems become easier for Allaah’s slave; because if a person knows that it is from Allaah then his afflictions/problems is lessened. As Allaah Ta’ala said:
وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِ قَلۡبَهُۥۚ
<< Whoever believes in Allaah then his heart is tranquil>> [Taghabun: 11]
6 – Ascribing blessings to the one who renders that blessing, this is because if you did not believe in Qadr you would ascribe blessings to the who takes care of giving those blessings, and this is present a lot amongst those who approach kings, leaders and ministers. If they receive from them what they want they say that the excellence was from them, and they forget the excellence of the Creator Subhanahu.
It is correct that it is obligatory upon a person to be thankful to the people, due to the statement of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa salam:
ومن أتى إليكم معروفا ؛ فكافئوه
‘Whoever does a favour for you then compensate that person.’ [Saheehah no. 254 & Irwaa No. 1617], however it should be known that the foundation of all foundations is the excellence of Allaah – Azza wa Jal – which Allah placed at the hand of this man.
7 – So that a person can know the wisdom of Allaah – Azza wa Jal -. This is because when he looks into this universe and what occurs in it from amazing, brilliant changes, then he comes to know about the Wisdom of Allaah Azza wa Jal – and this is in contrast to the one who forgets al-Qada and al-Qadr then he does not get this benefit.
