       If I were to command a person to prostrate before any other person I would command women to prostrate before their husbands because Allah has allowed many rights to husbands. (Abu Dawood, Targheeb)

157.       Sayyidina ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       It is the husband’s right on his wife that if he calls her to him she must not say no even if she is seated on a saddle back. It is also one of his rights that she must not observe optional fasting without his permission; if she does so then she will stay hungry and thirsty (meaninglessly) and her fasting will not be accepted. No woman should go out of her house without the permission of her husband; if she does so then the Angels of the heaven, Angels of mercy, Angels of punishment-all curse her until she returns. (Tabarani, Targheeb)

163.       Sayyidina Anas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       If anyone raises two daughters looking after them until they attain adulthood then, on the day of Resurrection, I and he will be (near to one another) like that, saying that he joined his fingers together. (Muslim, Mishkat)

167.       Sayyidina Sabrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

168.       Sayyidina Bakr bin ‘Abdullah bin ar-Rabee (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

Relations With Other Kin

169.       Sayyidina Sa’eed bin al-‘Aas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

SAYINGS OF THE MESSENGER (130 TO 152)

(SALLALLAHO-ALAIHE-WA-AALEHI-WASALLAM)

Family Life

Behaviour with parents

130.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Children can never repay their father until they find their father enslaved and buy him and set him free. (Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmizi, Targheeb)

131.       Sayyidina Abu ‘Umaamah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Your parents may mean Paradiser for you (if you behave well with them) or Hell too (if you disobey them) (Ibn Majah, Targheeb)

132.       Sayyidina Anas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       He who craves for a long life and abundance of provision must behave kindly with his parents and maintain ties with them. (Ahmad, Targheeb)

133.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Adopt modesty with the women of other men, your women will remain virtuous and adopt pious conduct with your parents, and your children will behave well with you. (Haakim, Targheeb)

134.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       He rubs his nose in dust. Rubs his nose in dust, rubs his nose in dust. (He was asked, “Who, O Messenger of Allah?” He said), “The person who had aged parents yet could not make his way to Paradise.   (Muslim, Targheeb)

135.       Sayyidina Mu’awiyah bin Jahimah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Stay with your mother, for Paradise is under her feet. (Ibn Majah, Nasa’i, Targheeb)

136.       Sayyidina ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       There are three people towards whom Allah will not look at all (with mercy):

1.   One who disobeys his parents.

2.   One who is addicted to wine, and

3.   One who boasts of his favours.  (Nasa’i, Bazzaar, Targheeb)

Husband and Wife

137.       Sayyidina ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ood (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       O young people! Those of you who are able to do it must marry because this is the best way to keep your gaze down. In this way you can better check your sexual desires. As for him who cannot afford to marry, he must observe fasting frequently because fasting is a means to curb sexual desires.   (Bukhari, Muslim, Targheeb)

138.       Sayyidina ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       The word is a treasure and the best of its treasures is a pious woman.  (Nasa’i, Muslim, Targheeb)

139.       Sayyidina Abu Umaamah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Next to Taqwaa (God-fearing attitude), there is nothing better for a believing man than a pious wife. She is one who obeys her husband in every command he gives. When he looks towards her, she pleases him. And, if he swears by her (saying that she would do as he says, surely) then she does not let him down. When her husband is absent she is extremely careful about his property and her own self. (Ibn Majah, Targheeb)

140.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       There are three men who have assurance of Allah’s help:

1.   One who wages Jihad for the sake of Allah.

       A Woman is married for one of the four reasons:

(1)  Her beauty, (2) her wealth, (3) her good character, or (4) her piety.

       Choose a woman who is pious and well be-haved (Ahmad, Targheeb)

Relation with Wife

142.       Sayyidina Maymoon from Sayyidina Ubayy (Radi-ALLAHO-An-hum)

       If anyone marries a woman agreeing to pay a dower, little or much, but not really intending to pay it to her then he has cheated her. If he dies afterwards without paying her the dower then he will face Allah on the day of Resurrection as an adulterer.    (Targheeb)

143.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)    Among the believers, those who have a good character have perfected their belief. And the best among you are those who are good to their women.    (Tirmizi,Targheeb)

      

144.                     Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        Let not a believing man hate his believing wife. If he does not like anything in her, he is sure to find something else adorable. (Muslim, Targheeb)

145      Sayyidina mu`awiyah bin Haydah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        A wife’s right over her husband is that he feeds her when he feeds himself, clothes her when he clothes himself; does not hit her on her face and does not speak to her rudely; and does not spend the night away from her (out of ranger) except within the same house. (Abu Dawood, Targheeb)

146.    Sayyidina ‘Amr bin al-Ahwas (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Listen! Follow my advice in treating women gently. This is because they stay with you restricted. You have no right over anything belonging to them except that they do not do anything shameful. In that case you leave them alone on their bed and beat them lightly so that they do not feel the pain. Then if they obey you do not oppress them. Remember, you have some rights over your wives, and your wives have some rights over you. It is your right over them that they do not defile your bed with those you do not like, and do not let such people as you do not like enter your house. Remember, they have a right over you that you treat them well in feeding and clothing them. (Ibn Majah, Tirmizi)

147. Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

        This is a dinar that you spend in the cause of Allah. That is a dinar that you again use to emancipate a slave. And, this is also a dinar that you give as Sadaqah to a needy person. This too is a dinar which you spend on your wife. Of these, you will fetch the highest reward on the dinar that you spend on your wife. (Muslim, Targheeb)

148.       Sayyidah ‘Aisha (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ha)

       Does that man among you not feel ashamed that he beats his wife in the early part of the day as if he is beating his slave then in the last part of that very day he sleeps with her (having sexual intercourse)? Is he not ashamed of himself? (Abd bin Humayd, Kanz ul-‘Ummaal)

149.       Sayyidina Abu Umaamah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       The worst of men is he who is stingy in giving the rights of his household members.    (Kanz ul-‘Ummaal)

150.       Sayyidina Ilyas bin ‘Abdullah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Many women make the rounds of the house of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him). They complain (of being beating at the hands) of their husbands. Such people (who beat their wives) are not the best among you. (Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, Mishkat)

151.       Sayyidina Asma bint Abu Bakr (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ha)

       I do not like it that I should see anyone with swollen veins of his neck, standing over his wife and beating her.    (Kanz ul-‘Ummaal, Asd bin Humayd)

152.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       As for him who has two wives and does not do justice to them, he will be seen on the day of Resurrection with one side of his body leaning down.    (Tirmizi, Abu Dawood, Nasa’i)

Tokens of God

 

Portents of God (L-52)

هُوَ الَّذي خَلَقَ لَكُم ما فِي الأَرضِ جَميعًا ثُمَّ استَوىٰ إِلَى السَّماءِ فَسَوّاهُنَّ سَبعَ سَماواتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمٌ29.

29.  Huwal-lazii khalaqa lakum-maa fil’arzi jamii-‘aa: sum-mas-tawaaa ‘ilas-Samaaa-‘i fa-sawwaa-hunna sab-‘a samaa-waat. Wa Huwa bi-kulli shay-‘in ‘Aliim. (Section 3)

29.  He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is Knower of all things.

Fa-sawwaa-hunna – (So He fashioned them). This word has been derived from taswi-yah, which means “To adjust/fit the different parts and joints of a thing at their proper places, to correct”.

Sab-‘a samaa-waat – “Seven Heavens,” “Sam-wun” is the origin of “Samaa-waat” and its meaning is “height”. Due to relationship of height with the sky, it is called “The Sky”. “Sab-‘a” means seven. Hence in the Arabic proverb, this word is used in the meanings of “more and numerous” also.

The human being is the name of a collection of body and soul. It is obvious that the needs of these both things are fulfilled by God Almighty, Who created this puppet of clay. His first kindness is that He fulfills all requirements of the body and soul, for bud and blossom, development and improvement of his body. The soul of human being needs food also along with bringing up the body.

The meaning of this verse is that first of all, our Lord created the earth. He caused the rivers, the seas and the ocean to flow on one side, and raised mountains on the other side, which are very high, grew many forests of the trees, and fed up the inner parts of the earth with different kinds of uncountable treasures. And these all things were created for the sake of Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) and his descendants. Now it is duty of Human Beings that they should reap reasonable advantages from these countless treasures; by using their wisdom and sense.

By using the word jamii-‘an, God Almighty commanded that these all things are for the children of Adam (Peace be upon him). They have the right to reap advantages from these things. With the physical body of the Human Being, fostering of his soul is also necessary. For this purpose, the earth and its produces are not sufficient. Therefore, after creating the earth, He drew His attention toward the Sky. From there, it used to rain Guidance during different times for the training of the mankind's’ souls by means of His Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them). As the human being reaps advantage from the things of the earth, he should get advantage also from this Heavenly Rain (Guidance), so that his soul may become perfect too along with his body. Thereby, after becoming a perfect mankind, he would have to be present in the Court of Allaah.

Labour and Hard Work, Debts and Repayments

SAYINGS OF THE MESSENGER (115 TO 121)

(SALLALLAHO-ALAIHE-WA-AALEHI-WASALLAM)

Labour and Hard Work

115.       Sayyidina Miqdaam bin Ma’dikarb (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       No one has eaten better food than what he has earned toiling with his own hands. Dawood (Peace be upon Him) the Prophet of Allah used to earn his sustenance with his own manual labour. (Bukhari, Targheeb)

116.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       It is much better for one of you to pick up wood on his back and earn his livelihood by selling it than to beg money from another. Some may give and some may not. (Malik, Muslim, Bukhari, Targheeb)

117.       Sayyidina ‘Adullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Surely, Allah likes a skilful believer. (Tabarani, Bayhaqi,  Targheeb)

118.       Sayyidina ‘Aishah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ha)

       The person who having toiled with his hands returns in the evening tired and worn out, sees his evening with his (minor) sins forgiven. (Tabarani, Targheeb)

119.       Sayyidina Sa’eed bin ‘Umayr (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) was asked, “What is the best earning?” He said, “a man’s toiling with his own hands and every earning that is through pious effort.” (Haakim, Targheeb)

120.       Sayyidina ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Pay the labourer his wages before his perspiration dries. (Ibn Majah, Targheeb)

121.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Allah Ta’ala has said, “There are three men against whom I will take a stand and he whom I oppose, I shall give him (a crushing) defeat. One of them is a man who gave assurance in My name but then was faithless; the other, a man who sold a free man and enjoyed the price he received for him; and the third, one who hired someone on wages but did not pay him his wages after getting him to do what he was hired to do.” (Bukhari, Ibn Majah, Targheeb)

SAYINGS OF THE MESSENGER (122 TO 129)

(SALLALLAHO-ALAIHE-WA-AALEHI-WASALLAM)

Debts and Repayments

122.       Sayyidina ‘Adullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       Keep your sins in check; death will come easily. Let your debts be limited; you will spend your life in comfort. (Bukhari, Targheeb)

123.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       If anyone borrows from another intending to repay then Allah makes circumstances ideal for him to repay. But, if anyone borrows to waste the others money then Allah wastes the man himself. (Bukhari, Ibn Majah, Targheeb)

124.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       If anyone agrees to pay a specified dower to a woman and he marries not really intending to pay it to her then he is committing fornication. If anyone borrows money from another not intending to repay then he is a thief. (Bazzaar, Targheeb)

125.       Sayyidina Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah bin Jahsh (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if a man were to be killed in the path of Allah (in Jihad) then come to life, be killed again in His Path then come to life, be killed again in the path of Allah but have a debt over him then he will not go to Paradise until his debt is paid. (Nasa’i, Targheeb)

126.       Sayyidina ‘Adullah bin ‘Umar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       If anyone dies while he owes someone one dinar or one dirham then that will be paid from his pious deeds (that is, the creditors will be paid the debtor’s pious deeds) because dinar and dirham will not be (in circulation) there. (Ibn Majah, Targheeb)

127.       Sayyidina Abu Qataadah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       The person who hopes that Allah will remove his sufferings on the day of Resurrection, let him give respite to a hard-pressed (debtor) and mitigate his suffering or forgive him (altogether). (Muslim, Mishkat)

128.       Sayyidina ‘Abu Yasar (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       The person who allows respite to one in straitened circumstances or remits his debts altogether then Allah will shade him with His Mercy. (Muslim, Mishkat)

129.       Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (Radi-ALLAHO-An-ho)

       A man was given to extend loans to other people and he had instructed his servants to forgive if they met anyone who was in straitened circumstances, saying, “Perhaps Allah will forgive us our sins.” Thus, when he died and met Allah, He forgave him his sins. (Bukhari, Muslim, Mishkat)

How You Disbelieve In God

 

How do you disbelieve in God? (L-51)

28. كَيفَ تَكفُرونَ بِاللَّهِ وَكُنتُم أَمواتًا فَأَحياكُم ۖ ثُمَّ يُميتُكُم ثُمَّ يُحييكُم ثُمَّ إِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ

28.  Kayfa  takfuruuna  Billaahi  wa kuntum  ‘am-waatan-  fa- ‘ahyaakum.  Summa yumiitukum  summa  yuhyiikum summa  ‘ilay-Hi  turja-‘uun.

28.  How disbelieve you in Allah when you were dead and He gave life to you! Then He will give you death, then life again, and then unto Him you will return.

 Turja-‘uun – (You will return), origin of this word is raj-‘un. Here, this word manifests the fact that human being does never go to an end after death. Moreover, he will be given life again and he will have to be present in the Court of God Almighty.

Prophets and Messengers (Peace be upon them) of Allaah Almighty came unto the entire nations of the world and in the every corner of the earth. The message of all of them was the same that “God is One, verily He is the actual Worshipped of all creatures and He is real Lord. The life and the death are in His Power.

God is He, Who created the earth as a bed, caused the rivers to flow in it so that the earth may become green and lush, and the crops bloom. He produced mountains on it, created vegetations and minerals, erected the sky without pillars, made the sun, the moon and the stars, by which someone can find the path during the dark nights. He is, Who bestowed to us life and provided necessary things for our existence.

Perceive in it carefully also that there was a time, when there was no sign of human being on the earth. Everywhere was a desolate place. He gave life to the human being. Human being spent his life here for many years and reaped advantage from the things created by Him. Then, a time will come, when those entire human beings will die who will be living at that time. After that, those human beings and other all, who had died before them, will be brought back to life again by the Commandment of Allaah Almighty. Then, all human beings will be gathered before Him.

Power of giving life and death is only in the Hand of God Almighty. When last time of life comes for anyone, nobody can extend; even one moment of the life.

While the entire resources including the life of human being are in the control of Allaah Almighty and every breath depends on His Mercy, then we should bow our foreheads before His Commandments. Our good luck and deliverance is in it that we must try to get ready for presenting ourselves before God and for accountability of our deeds.

Who Go Astray

 

Those who are losers (L-50)

الَّذينَ يَنقُضونَ عَهدَ اللَّهِ مِن بَعدِ ميثاقِهِ وَيَقطَعونَ ما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يوصَلَ وَيُفسِدونَ فِي الأَرضِ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الخاسِرونَ27.

27.  ‘Allaziina  yanqu-zuuna  ‘Ah-dAllaahi  mim-ba’-di  mii-saaqiHii,  wa  yaqta-‘uuna maaa  ‘amarAllaahu bihiii  ‘any-yuu-sala  wa  yufsiduuna fil-‘arz.    ‘Ulaaa-‘ika   humul-khaa-siruun.

27.  Those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it, and sever that which Allah ordered to be joined and (who) make mischief in the earth, Those are they who are the losers.

 ‘Ah-da – (the covenant), such mutual agreement and treaty; after binding of which, checking it becomes necessary. ‘Ah-dAllaah (Covenant of God) aims: Belief and acceptance that God is our Lord and we will obey His command. God asked from the entire mankind collectively before sending them in this world, “Am I not your Lord”? The entire human beings ratified, “Yes! You are our Lord”. Then God Almighty commanded, “I make witness of this Covenant to the earth and the heavens, and for reminding you this covenant, I shall continue sending  My Messengers (Peace be upon them). The Companion Abi bin Ka’ab (May Allaah be pleased with him) said that the aim from “the Covenant of God” was the covenant mentioned in this verse. 

Besides the covenant of the Day of Eternity, there is another covenant, which exists in the nature of the mankind. In addition, there are some more covenants also which were made by having faith in the Prophets (Peace be upon them), and those covenants which are made with the saints on the name of God Almighty.

It is being discussed from the previous verse that mischievous and disobedient people become victim of depravity. Now causes of their straying are being described:  

• They break the covenant - after ratifying with God. Having belief that Allaah is my Master, my Worshipped and my Lord is such a simple matter that the sense of the mankind desires itself that it should not believe in any other thing as its Lord but God.

• Second sign is that the miscreant breaks every such relationship about which, God Almighty has commanded to unite. It means that the mankind should perform and fulfill the entire Rights of God and which are due on him in accord with the relationship with other human beings. But the miscreant violates the Rights of Allaah Almighty and His servants.

• Third sign is that the miscreant spreads corruption and disturbance in the country. He creates breakdown in the peace of the world by his wicked deeds.  

After describing above three signs, Allaah Almighty has described their consequence that these people will be losers with regard to religious and worldly matters. God Almighty save us from their evil and show us the Straight Path.

Similes of Holy Qur’aan and Their Affects

 

Similitudes by Holy Qur’an (L–47)

26a. ۚإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَستَحيي أَن يَضرِبَ مَثَلًا ما بَعوضَةً فَما فَوقَها

26 a.  ‘InnAllaaha laa yastah-yiii ‘any-yazriba masalam-maa ba-‘uuzatan- famaa fawqahaa.

26a.  Lo! Allah disdains not to coin the similitude of a gnat or even anything above that.

Fawqahaa – (Above that), literal meaning of fawq is “upper, over, above”. It aims “more lean and ignoble thing than it”.

In the previous verses, Allaah Almighty invited to the disbelievers and infidels for proving the truth of Holy Qur’an that if they consider that it is not Word of God (we seek refuge in God), then they should produce any Word like this. But they could neither give its answer till to-date and nor can they; until the last Day. In such condition of helplessness, they could do nothing. However they began to find faults in Holy Qur’an and said: How is it an extraordinary that Allaah, having so much high position and greatness, gives similitude of so contemptible and lean things?

The fact is that mention of the biggest creatures has also come in Holy Qur’an at different places as well as the smallest too. Where animals like elephants, camels and horses etc. have been mentioned, there is ant, fly and mosquito etc. also. For causing the people to understand, God has described similes of these living creatures. For example; somewhere He says that idols of infidels are too weak and helpless to create a fly. But when a fly or mosquito sits on their faces they cannot cause it to fly. Somewhere He says that the religion of the Infidels is weak like spider’s web. Hearing such similitude, some Infidels began to say that God of Muslims speaks so strange (we seek refuge in Allaah) that He does not hesitate in mentioning likenesses of so small things. Allaah replied to their criticism in this verse.

Similitude means “such thing, for which the example is given, must be impressive upon mind to bold and bright. Now that simile will be the best which fulfills this object, whether that thing is much customary or small itself. The mosquito is so much ignoble thing and unimportant creature. Now where there is a need to explain unreality of the idols or any other creature, there example of mosquito will be appropriate. Criticizing it is proof of folly and immaturity.

Summary of above mentioned verse is that Allaah (God) Almighty does not hesitate from giving similitude of a mosquito or smaller thing than it, because purpose of giving example is to explain about something. The example will be given as something exists. There is nothing to hesitate or take bad from it.

Blessings of the Paradise (L–46)

كُلَّما رُزِقوا مِنها مِن ثَمَرَةٍ رِزقًا ۙ قالوا هٰذَا الَّذي رُزِقنا مِن قَبلُ ۖ وَأُتوا بِهِ مُتَشابِهًا ۖ وَلَهُم فيها أَزواجٌ مُطَهَّرَةٌ ۖ وَهُم فيها خالِدونَ25b.

25b.  Kullamaa  ruziquu  minhaa  min-samaratir-rizqan,   qaaluu  haazallazii  ruziqnaa min-qablu,  wa  ‘utuu  bihii mutashaabihaa.  Wa  lahum fiihaaa  ‘azwaa-jum-mutah-harah,  wa  hum  fiihaa  khaaliduun.

25b.  As often as they are regaled with food of the fruit thereof, they say: This is what was given us aforetime and it is given to them in resemblance. There for them are pure companions and therein they abide for ever.

Mutah-haratun – (chaste, pure). It aims the companions (wives/husbands) favorite for every person in Paradise; they will be pure and chaste in all respect. They will be far from the filth of body and soul. 

Khaaliduuna – (they will abide for ever). This word has been derived from khaluud, which means “to abide for ever”, that is to say; they will never be driven out from the Paradise. So, one name of the Paradise is Jannatul Khuld.  

In this verse, Allaah Almighty has explained with more detail about the rewards; which will be given to the Believers and Pious people. Usually, which things are essential for living a good life, an individual desires - a fine and well furnished house, delicious and tasteful meals and cold water for eating and drinking respectively, pure, beautiful and pious companion, rest and comfort for ever; that is to say; there must be no fear of ending and destruction of such things, which he/she possesses . Moreover, he/she would have faith that oneself will reap advantage always from these things.

Allaah Almighty has promised with the Believers for the things like these i.e. the people, who will believe, during this worldly life, in Oneness of God Almighty, His Prophets and Messengers and His Angels (Peace be upon them), His Holy Scriptures, coming back to life again on the Day of Resurrection, good or bad luck from Allaah Almighty, and who will act upon His commandments and the Sayings of His last Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), they will be admitted in such Paradise, after the life of this world, where they will live in beautiful Gardens. They will be served with such different kinds of fruit, which, in form will be like the fruit of this world but by taste, relish and fragrance, those will be much superior to the fruit of this world.

Because, Paradise is a home of every kind of material and spiritual pleasures and comforts, therefore, it will be their good luck that their companions will be pure, clean and chaste. There, they will have never any fear that any of their pleasures or comfort will be lessened a little or withdrawn from them. But Allaah Almighty will assure them that these all favors are permanent, durable and forever. They are lucky, who are rightful owners of that Paradise. Allaah Almighty bless all of us with such kind of Belief.
