Tickets To Paradise--Ticket #20 (Six Things)

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,

If you guarantee these six things, you will guarantee yourself heaven. If you speak, be truthful, if you promise then fulfill, return trusts which are entrusted with you, protect your modesty, lower your gaze, and do not harm anyone. (Ahmad)

If you are short of any of these matters, resolve to change them and be the person that the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned in this hadith. Ask Allah to help you be like that. Add this du'a to your list of du'as of this blessed month. Some of these traits (lying, breaking promises, betraying trusts) are signs of a hypocrite and Allah does not love hypocrites.

People who are heedless of their speech, their promises, the trusts that are given to them, their modesty and nakedness, and other people's feelings and well being, do not value Paradise and they will regret it in the Day of Judgment and wish that they could return to this world to correct them, but it would be too late then.

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰلَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ(٢٧) بَلْ بَدَا لَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُخْفُونَ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَوْ رُدُّوا۟ لَعَادُوا۟ لِمَا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـٰذِبُونَ (٢٨

If you could but see when they are made to stand before the Fire and will say, "Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers." But what they concealed before has [now] appeared to them. And even if they were returned, they would return to that which they were forbidden; and indeed, they are liars. (Al-An'am [27-28])

May Allah guide us and give us tawfiq. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
