وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
QURAN 5:2
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.
مَّن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً حَسَنَةً يَكُن لَّهُ نَصِيبٌ مِّنْهَا ۖ وَمَن يَشْفَعْ شَفَاعَةً سَيِّئَةً يَكُن لَّهُ كِفْلٌ مِّنْهَا ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّقِيتًا
QURAN 4:85
Whoever intercedes for a good cause will have a reward therefrom; and whoever intercedes for an evil cause will have a burden therefrom. And ever is Allah , over all things, a Keeper.
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ ﴿٦﴾ فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ ﴿٧﴾ وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ ﴿٨
QURAN 99:6
That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.
QURAN 99:7
So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it,
QURAN 99:8
And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
الْقَارِعَةُ ﴿١﴾ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ﴿٢﴾ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ ﴿٣﴾ يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ ﴿٤﴾ وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ ﴿٥﴾ فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ﴿٦﴾ فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ ﴿٧﴾ وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ ﴿٨﴾ فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ ﴿٩﴾ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ ﴿١٠﴾ نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ ﴿١١
QURAN 101:1
The Striking Calamity -
QURAN 101:2
What is the Striking Calamity?
QURAN 101:3
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
QURAN 101:4
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
QURAN 101:5
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
QURAN 101:6
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
QURAN 101:7
He will be in a pleasant life.
QURAN 101:8
But as for one whose scales are light,
QURAN 101:9
His refuge will be an abyss.
QURAN 101:10
And what can make you know what that is?
QURAN 101:11
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
1) A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor.
2) Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs;
3) Whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and
4) Whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
1) Whoever removes a worldly hardship from a believer, Allah will remove one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection from him.
2) Whoever grants respite to (a debtor) who is in difficulty, Allah will grant him relief in this world and in the Hereafter.
3) Whoever conceals (the fault of) a Muslim in this world, Allah will conceal him (his faults) in this world and in the Hereafter.
4) Allah will help a person so long as he is helping his brother.
5) Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make a path to Paradise easy for him.
6) No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will overshadow them, the angels will surround them and Allah will mention them to those who are with Him.
7) Whoever is slowed down by his deeds, his lineage will not help him to get ahead.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
1) Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity,
2) Commanding good and forbidding evil is charity,
3) Your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you.
4) Your seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you,
5) Your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you.
6) Your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
1) Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command.
2) So whoever has a brother under his command should feed him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears.
3) Do not ask them (slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
The one who tells another about something good is like the one who does it.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
The companion who is the best to Allah is the one who is best to his companion. And the neighbor that is the best to Allah is the one that is best to his neighbor.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Whoever causes harm, Allah harms him, and whoever is harsh, Allah will be harsh with him.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from Who is above the heavens. The womb is named after Ar-Rahman, so whoever connects it, Allah connects him, and whoever severs it, Allah severs him.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
He who is not merciful to others, will not be treated mercifully.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Allah will not be merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Mercy is not removed (from anyone) except from a wicked one.
Umar was heard to say,
1) Anyone who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.
2) Anyone who does not forgive will not be forgiven.
3) Anyone who does not pardon will not be pardoned or protected."
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
1) The dearest of people to Allah is the one who does most benefit to people,
2) And the dearest of deeds to Allah is
Joy that you bring to a Muslim, or
Relieving him of distress, or
Paying off debt for him, or
Dispelling his hunger.
3) And to walk with a brother to meet his needs is dearer to me than observing Ai‘tikaaf in this mosque – meaning the mosque of Madinah – for a month.
