ON AFTERLIFE - Sayings of our Prophet (pbuh) - 3rd April, 2021



SOME SAYINGS (HADITH) OF THE HOLY PROPHET (PBUH) ABOUT AFTERLIFE AS GIVEN IN THE BOOKS OF HADITH

 “What is the life of this world but play and amusement? But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will you not then understand?” - (QUR’AN - SURAT AL-ANAM: 32)

  • The Holy Prophet (SAW) said that if a person puts his or her finger in the sea and takes it out, the likeness of afterlife is the sea, while the likeness of this world are the few drops of water, that return with the finger.        (Muslim)
  • "When the dwellers of Paradise enter Paradise, an announcer will call: (you have a promise from Allah that) you will live therein and you will never die; you will stay healthy therein and you will never fall ill; you will stay young and you will never become old; you will be under a constant bliss and you will never feel miserable." (Muslim)
  • "When the inhabitants of the Garden (heaven) have gone to the Garden and the inmates of the Fire (hell) have gone to the Fire, death will be called and placed between the Garden and the Fire. Afterward the following announcement will be made: "Inhabitants of the Garden! There is no more death! Inmates of the Fire! There is no more death!" This will increase the delight of the inhabitants of the Garden and the grief of the inmates of the Fire." (Muslim)
  • Narrated ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Abbâs : Allah’s Messenger said that Allah the Glorious said, “Verily, Allah has ordered that the good and the bad deeds be written down. Then He explained it clearly how (to write): He who intends to do a good deed and he does not do it, then Allah records it for him as a full good deed, but if he carries out his intention, the Glorious and the Great Allah writes it down for him with Him as from ten to seven hundred times, and even many times more. But if he intends to do an evil act and has not done it, then Allah writes it down with Him as a full good deed, but if he intends it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed. (Al-Bukhâri and Muslim)
  • Narrated Abu Mas’ud ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amr Al-Ansari Al-Badri: Allah’s Messenger said, “Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action.” (Muslim)
  • Narrated Harithah bin Wahb: I heard Allah’s Messenger saying, “Shall I not inform you about those who are entitled to Paradise? It is every person who is, modest and humble (before Allah), a person who is accounted weak and is looked down upon but if he swears (hoping for Allah’s Bounty), Allah will certainly give him what he desires. Now shall I not inform you about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent, impertinent and proud man.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
  • Narrated Abû Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger said, “Allah looks not at your figures, nor at your outward appearance but He looks at your hearts and deeds.”(Muslim)
  • Narrated Jarir bin ‘Abdullah: Allah’s Messenger said, "Allah will not show mercy to him who does not show mercy to others.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
  • "The whole world is a provision, and the best object of benefit of the world is the pious woman." (Muslim)\
  • Once Prophet Muhammad (saw) was walking with his companions and they came across a dead goat. The Prophet (saw) asked if anybody wanted that goat. Nobody consented. Finally our dear Prophet (saw) stated, “Just like this dead goat is nothing in your eyes, this world is highly insignificant in the eyes of your Lord!” (Muslim)
  • According to a Hadith, in Heaven, the men will go to a Bazaar every Friday. There, the scented dust of heaven will blow, which will make all the dwellers more handsome. When they will come back to their homes they will find that the women have also become more beautiful - (Muslim). Seems like a myth, isn't it? And this is just one of the many many things of the blissful life in heaven. Allah can do anything - we just have to have firm belief in Him and lead this life according to His Commandments (as in Qur'an and Sunnah) so that we are saved from hell & blessed!

NOTE:       A hadith also tells that Almighty Allah has prepared all that in heaven which no one has seen or heard about. Rewards for women in heaven are not less than those of men; all believers (males and females) will be equally blessed.
