Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai Arifi

Those deserving the protection of ALLAH

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said: :There are seven categories of persons whom ALLAH will provide peace under the shade of His mercy on the Day of Judgement when there will be no shade other then His.

They are

  1. A just and fair ruler,
  2. A youth grown up in regular devotion (i.e. who had been devout form the very boyhood and remained so even during his youth and the frenzies of youth did not distract him from devotion).
  3. A believer who has his hearts in the mosque even after leaving it until he returns to it
  4. The two persons who loved each other (for the sake of ALLAH), when they were together and when they separated.
  5. That servant of ALLAH who when remembers ALLAH in loneliness, tears gush forth in his eyes
  6. That servant of ALLAH who when invited for unlawful action by a woman possessing both beauty and position, said, ‘I fear ALLAH (so I cannot do that is unlawful),
  7. that son of Adam who gives sadaqah with his right hand concealing it from his left as to what his right hand is giving in the name of ALLAH.” [Bukhari, Muslim]
