Remembering Allah سبحانه و تعالى

Anas said that the Prophet ﷺ said:

"Allah will say: 'Remove from the Fire whoever remembered Me one day, or feared Me while in a state of sinning."

[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2594]

✨Hadith

Anas ibn Malik narrated that Umm al-Rubayyi’ bint al-Bara , who was the mother of Harithah ibn Suraqah, came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said:


O Prophet of Allah, will you not tell me about Harithah?” – who had been killed at the battle of Badr by a stray arrow.

“If he is in Paradise I will bear it with patience but if it is otherwise then I shall weep long and hard for him.”


He said: “O Umm Haritha, there are gardens in Paradise – according to another report: many gardens – and your son has attained the highest Firdous.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 2809)

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“The least severely punished of the people of Hell will be a man who has two shoes and shoelaces of Fire – according to another version: two live coals will be placed on the soles of his feet

– because of which his brains will boil as a pot boils. He will not think that anyone is being punished more severely than him, but he will be the one who is punished most lightly.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 6562; Muslim, 212)

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“The people of paradise will be able to see the people in the apartments above them as you see the shining stars on the horizon in the east and the west, because of the differences in their status.”

They said: “O Messenger of Allah, is that the status of the prophets which no one else will reach besides them?” He said: “No, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, they are men who had faith in Allah and believed in the Messengers.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 2082; Muslim, 2831)

The highest of the degrees of Paradise is Al-Firdaws

As It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “… When you ask of Allah, ask Him for al-Firdaws, for it is in the middle of Paradise and is the highest part of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it spring forth the rivers of Paradise.”

(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 2637; Muslim, 2831)

From among the most important lessons in Surah Yusuf عليه السلام is that it took many years before Yusuf عليه السلام was released from the prison he was wrongfully placed. And many more years before he was reunited with his family. Sometimes the trials we face in life don’t disappear over a short period of time. Rather, ease is delayed to increase us in wisdom and patience, in certainty, trust and faith in Allāh ﷻ. How many times throughout life, do we look back and realise that, hadn’t certain events and delays happened, we would not have reached destinations or met individuals that we are thankful today?

Surah Yusuf, V.21:

وَٱللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢١

Allah’s Will always prevails, but most people do not know.

❝ Allah تَعالى said:
﴿وَالمُؤمِنونَ وَالمُؤمِناتُ بَعضُهُم أَولِياءُ بَعض﴾
(The believers, both men and women, are guardians of one another.)

This is the affair of the believers. They do not abandon their brothers, nor do they forsake them in the time of their distress, nor do they refrain from helping and aiding them. ❞
