Jumuah< Mubarak!!!

Asalaamu alaikum Wa rag matullah hi wa barakaatu
 
i trust all is well?
 
HOTasHELL!!!
 
i know its hot ...
but just imagine how hot it would be in HELL!!!
 
THE END.
 
need i say more ... NO.
 
but its me... and so i will... coz i love you for the sake of Allah .. and i just cant stop myself....
" shoe! ...its hot!"
... i have no doubt at least one of us has uttered those words sometime this week already.. and if not... then i am sure some one in the lift to your car/ office block has said it to you ... just to break the arwkaard silence...[ you smiling coz u know im rite...hehehe:-)]  and if not some1 is still going to say it today!!! :-)
 
Now just imagine ... the day of Qiyaamah ...it is reported that " the sun would draw so close to the people that there would be left a distance of only one mile. The people will be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to the waist and some would have the bridle of perspiration... " [muslim vol4 pg1487, no. 6852]
 ...  now we have the option to run to our homes and workplaces ... and  
 of course we will apply FACTOR 64 Sun screan ... and come monday that very same stranager/colleague we meet inthe lift will  say: " shoe! thats a lovely tan:-)"
 
but on that day... the Day of Qiyaamah ... their we will all stand... and await our fate ... will the book be given our right hand or the left? ... tick tick ... time will tell... on this day their will be no shade and we cannot run away from what we have done during our lifetime.. thiers no Factor 54 sunblock
NO! ... all will be revealed...  
 
i wonder if we will say then ... : "shoe! its hot"
i wonder.
and Allah knows Best.
 
So to make that day a bit easier i will share a hadith with you... and May Allah SWt Guide and Protect Us all, ameen.
 
Prophet(SAW) said: "There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade: a just ruler; a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques; two people who love each other for Allah's sake, meeting for that and parting upon that; a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position [for illegal intercourse], but be says: 'I fear Allah', a man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity; and a man who remembered Allah in private and so his eyes shed tears." (Bukhari & Muslim)
 
Explanation:

In this beautiful Hadeeth, the Prophet SAW spoke about small acts of worship which result in such a huge reward: shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His Shade. 

"A man whose heart is attached to the mosques..." There is great encouragement in the Sunnah for men to pray in the mosques and the reward associated with it is tremendous. Not only does it make the person eligible for Allah's Shade on the day of Judgement, but, "he does not take a step [towards the mosque except that because of it, he is raised by one rank and one sin is removed from him. Then when he prays, the Angels do not cease supplicating for him [for] as long as he remains at his place of Prayer [sayings]: O Allah send blessings upon him, O Allah have mercy upon him..." [Bukhari]
 
so now we know how to escape the heat.
 
 
 
think .ponder. reflect.
 
the littel things do add up.
 
Peace. Love. and an ice cold Falooda... from Cape to india... excellent!!!
 
ps: halaal tour 2009 ... GLOBAL WRAPS ... shop 25 ... V & A Waterfront ... was rather delicoous.
Ps2:  Brother  NAIDZ ... MEETS UP WITH HIS OLD BUDDY JAMMES ... and the following convesation takes place...
 
james: " Shoe .. NAIDZ ... YOU AND the wife have been married for years now. Whats the secret to your success.
 
NAIDZ: YOU SEE brother James ... you must always keep things fresh. and i recommend you go out at least twice a week.
 
james: so where do you guys go.
NAIDZ: SHE GOES OUT ON A tuesday and i go out on a wednesday! :-)
 
hehehehe:-)
 
Ps3:A sneeze travels out your mouth at over 100 m.p.h.

JazakAllah 4 posting that Hadith about shade - i was thinking about that on those hot days last week.

On the PS3: did you also know, all your body parts do NOT stop when you sneeze. it's just a myth.
