Paradise And Hell

The Day Of Judgement, Paradise And Hell

(143) On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah will definitely enforce settlement of all the dues to those entitled to receive them on the Day of Judgement; even the wrong done to a hornless goat by a horned goat will be redressed."

(Muslim)

Note 1: "Redress" means to remedy or provide compensation for.

Note 2: The main point of this Hadith is that the Day of Judgement will be extremely fair for everyone. It will be a day of reckoning for all good and evil deeds, to an extreme that it will be fair even to the goats.

(144) On the authority of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, people who committed crimes of blood will be the first to be judged by God (Allah)."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note 1: Crimes of blood means murder.

Note 2: The main point of this Hadith is that killing is a very serious sin.

(145) On the authority of 'Abdullah bin'Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "He who kills a Jew or a Christian with whom an agreement or treaty has been made, will not sense even the smell of Paradise, and no doubt, its smell can be sensed from the distance covered in forty years."

(Bukhari)

Note: "It is smell can be sensed from the distance covered in forty years" Means the person will never be anywhere near Paradise.

(146) On the authority of Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "On the night of Meraj (Ascension) when I stood at the gate of Paradise, I observed that the bulk of those who entered it were poor people, the rich people had been refused entry. Thereafter people condemned to Hell were ordered to be pushed there, and I noticed that the majority of those who entered it were women."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: The reason the majority of women will go to Hell, as mentioned in this Hadith, is because most women do not appreciate their husbands or what their husbands do for them.

(147) On the authority of Harithah bin Wahb (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) saying: "May I tell you who the dwellers of Paradise are? Every person who is considered weak and is despised, and who, if he takes an oath of reliance upon Allah, would fulfill it. Now may I tell you who the people destined for Hell are? Every one who is ignorant, impertinent, proud and arrogant."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

(148) On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "The poor Muslims will enter Paradise five hundred years earlier than the rich."

(Tirmizi)

(149) On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "He who killed himself with a steel (weapon) would be the eternal denizen (inmate) of Hell and he would have that weapon in his hand and would be thrusting that in his stomach for every and ever; he who drank poison and killed himself would sip that in the Fire of Hell where he is doomed for ever and ever; and he who killed himself by falling from the top of a mountain would constantly fall in the Fire of Hell and would live there for every and ever."

(Muslim)

Note: This Hadith says that if a Muslim commits suicide, he will go to Hell.

(150) On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "I saw during my night journey the people whose lips were being clipped with the clippers of Fire. I asked Gabriel: Who are these people?" He replied: These are the orators of your Ummah (people) who tell people to do good but forget to do it themselves."

(Sharh Sunnah-Bagawi)

Note: "Orators" means speakers.

(151) On the authority of Abu Zaid Usamah bin Zaid bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) saying: "On the day judgement a man will be brought and thrown into Hell, as a result of this, his intestines will come out of his belly, and he will go circling holding his intestines like a donkey running a mill. His companions in Hell will come to him: O! So and So! What is this? Did you not ask people to do good avoid vice?' He will say: 'That is so. I told others to do good, but did not do it myself; and I forbade them to do evil, but did myself."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Note: "Vice" means evil.

(152) On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said: "There are two types of the inmates of Hell whom I have not seen in my time: people having flogs like the tails of oxen with them, and who would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined to evil and make their husbands incline towards it. Their hair would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise, and they will not smell its odour, whereas its odour will be smelled from long distances." (Muslim)
