al hamdu lillahizil fadli wal ganaan, was salatu was salamu a'la khairikhalqihi muhammad zil aayaati wat tibyaan, wa a'la aalihi wa sahbihi wa man tabiahum ila yaumil qiamah bi ihsaan, wa ba'd.

Praise is for Allah, full of Excellence and owner of soulds, and peace and blessings on Muhammad, the best of all creation, owner o fsigns and manifestations, and on his family and companions and on those who followed them, un til the day of Resurrection with kindness, - and so:

Honoured Raiders! I present before you the noble tradions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). These traditions relate to PARADISE.

The aim is that we ponder over the real purpose of our creation, lost as we are on the uproar of worldy businesses and occupations and day to day worries. Allah, the Exalted has said:

And I have not created the Jinn and Mankind but that they should worship Me. I seek not any provision from them, nor I desire that they should feed Me. Verily, Allah! He is the Provider, Owner of Power, Firm. (51: 56-58)

O, Man! Become conscious of the real purpose of your creation. Devote yourself to the worship of Allah, the Exalted. He will grant you all your wants and necessities. He is the Creator who apportioned your sustenance even before you came into being He has said:

And in the heaven is your provision and what you are promised.
(51: 52)

Apply yourself to your true task. Your Master and Lord is the Guarantor of the achievement of your needs. A child is yet in the womb of its mother but its nourishment is arranged beforehand. The moment it is out of of the womb, its Lord, Full of Majesty, is Bountiful to it and ensures that abundant milk is available to it: milk sweet and tasty, and warm enough for the child, and full of protein and strength for the body. The breasts of the mother turn into a natural source of food and a never drying spring of milk for the new born. He who looks after you and feeds you at this stage will provide you sustenance your entire life. Realise what the real purpose of your life is and remember if you will cultivate this field with the crop that is of use to you in the next life then you will be happy and enjoying there otherwise the result will be catastrophic and agonising

Whenever they came, the Prophet's (peace be upon them), reminded people what they had forgotten and, last of all, the Seal of the Prophets, the Loved one of both the worlds, came. He too introduced to the creation their God just as his brother Prophets (peace and blessings of Allah be on them), before him, had done. An assurance was held out that against good deeds done, the reward will be entry into Paradise. Fulfil your obligations and, by the Favour of Allah, become claimants to the never ending Benefits (of the hereafter).

This world is a place of trials, worries, melancholy and troubles. Let not these tribulations annoy or worry you. Be patient. Do not drown yourself in the lustful worldly activities. Turn away from them bearing in mind the Bounties awaiting you in the hereafter. Our of fear of Allah, and a longing for the Favours and Benefits of Paradise, refrain from unlawful acts. There, you will get eternalbenefits. Relative to the comfort and luxuries of Heaven, the worldly comforts and benefits are nothing. Being wary of Allah, keep yourself on the righteous trek. Yearn for paradise, pursue the straight path, if Allah wills, the enormous wealth of paradise and its vast kingdom will be yours and you will be safe from the torment of Hell and the Anger of Allah.

I wished to share with my respected readers the verses of the Holy Qur'aan and the noble traditions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) on the subject of Paradise. They may inspire the pious slaves of Allah, the Exalted, to work for Paradise, and by the prayer of someone I too may be granted entry into Paradise. My good fortune! the Mercy of the True Allah is ever on the watch out for excuses to grant pardon. Perchance, this work may turn into one of those excuse ... this sanctified collection is presented.

Therefore, O you have faith on the Last Day! O you followers of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!). O you believers in the Holy Quraan and the traditions of the Prophet! - wake up from the slumber. Who knows when and where death may occur! Then one will be set either to Heaven or pushed into Hell. There's time now! Opportunity, yet! You are yet in the house of action: do what you wish to! the toil of a few days, an ordeal for a few years, denial of lustful temptations and desires for a while - these acts on your part can win for you eternal Paradise, unending Benefits and the Pleasure and Favour of Allah. Therefore, resolve that you will not be a slave to Satan and will not pursue sensual activities and lewd desires in this world but that you will follow the dictates of Allah, The Glorious, and His Noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). May Allah, Full of Glory, make us and all of you deserving of paradise, and give us strength to do good deeds. And may He grant entry in Jannat ul Firdous to our predecessours who have died.

"Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth and (in) the difference of night and day are tokens (of His Sovereignty) for men of understanding. Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining and consider the creation of the heavens and the earth, (and say) Our Lord! Whom Thou causest to enter the Fire :him indeed Thou hast confounded. For evil-doers there will be no helpers. Our Lord! Therefore forgive us our sins, and remit from us our evil deeds, and make us die the death of the righteous. Our Lord! And give us that which Thou hast promised to us by Thy messengers. Confound us not upon the Day of Resurrection. Lo! Thou breakest not the trust. And their Lord hath them (and He saith): Lo! suffer not the work of any worker, male or female, to be lost. Ye proceed one from another, So those who fled and were driven forth from their homes and suffered damage for My cause, and fought and were slain, verily I shall bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow - A reward from Allah. And with Allah is the fairest of rewards.
Let not the vicissitude (of the success) of those who disbelieve, in the land, deceive thee (O Muhammad). It is but a brief comfort, And afterward their habitation will be hell, an ill abode.
But those who keep their duty to their Lord, for them are Gardens underneath which rivers flows wherein they will be safe for ever. A gift of welcome from their Lord. That which Allah hath in store is better for the righteous.

And lo! of the People of the Scripture there are some who believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto you and that which was revealed unto them, humbling themselves before Allah. They purchase not a trifling gain at the price of the revelations of Allah. Verily their reward is with their Lord and lo! Allah is swift to take account.

O ye who believe! Endure, out do all other in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that you may succeed:

Control for Allah’s sake



Anger is a flame of fire taken from the Hell-fire that Allah prepared for the wrong doers. This fire of anger is temporarily calm in man’s heart waiting for Satan to provoke it in a moment of pride, as Satan himself is created from fire. Anger is a sort of troubles.



The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said to Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Abdul-Hamid; “ Oh Mu’awiyah, beware of anger, it spoils faith in the same way that the bitter syrup of the aloe plant, if mixed with honey, spoils it.” ( Narrated by Al-Baihaqi).



Anger incites one to seek revenge. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said “ Anger is a firebrand that Allah puts in one’s heart.Don’t you see that if one gets angry, his eyes go red, his face glowers, and his jugular veins swell? (Narrated by Al-Hakim).



Originally, Allah made this temper of anger to be man’s weapon of defense against what may harm him. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) once asked his Companions, “ Do you know who is the strong man is?” They answered him “ He is the one who wrestles well.” The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said to them, “The true, true, true, true, true strong man is the one who if he gets so angry that his face turns red and his hair stand, he is able to fight his anger and overcome it.” (Narrated by Ahmad)



The Prophet Muhammad (saw) also said, “ The strong man is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength but the strong man is he who controls himself while angry.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari)



Another example of the disapproval of anger is this story about Abu Bakr (RA). A man quarreled with Abu Bakr and hurt him with his words, but Abu Bakr was silent. The man hurt him a second time, but Abu Bakr was silent again, but the third time, the man hurt him, Abu Bakr started to retaliate. Thereupon, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) stood up and left. Abu Bakr ran after the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and asked him, “Oh Messenger of Allah, are you angry with me?” The Prophet (saw) answered “ There was an angel who descended from heaven to defend you and deny the man’s words, but when you retaliated, the angel left and Satan came and sat instead, and I cannot sit where Satan is sitting” (Nararted by Abu Dawood)



A man also came to the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and asked, “O Messenger of Allah, direct me to one act that if I do it, I will enter Paradise.” The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said to him, “Don’t become angry because anger is the source of corruption.” (Narrated by Abud-Dunya)



How to avoid angry.



Doesn’t the Prophet Muhammad (saw) in these advisory hadiths sounds like a psychiatrist? No wonder that Allah describes him like this in the Quran; “ Nor does he speak out of caprice. It is nothing but a Revelation (Quran). He (Muhammad) was taught by one mighty in power (the angel Jibril) (Surat An-Najm 53;3-5)



The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said “If anyone of you becomes angry, let him keep silent”. (Narrated by Ahmad). Silence takes anger away. And he (saw) said “ Anger is from Satan, and Satan was created from fire. Water puts off fire. Therefore, if anyone of you gets angry, let him make ablution. (Narrated by Ibn ‘Asakir)



The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said “ If anyone manages to suppress anger that he could burst, Allah will invite him on the Day of Judgment in front of all creation and make him choose whomever he desires from the houris.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood)

And he (saw) said “ Whoever manages to avoid anger, Allah will make him avoid the torture of the Day of Judgment, and whoever keeps his tongue (from hurting others), Allah will conceal his follies on the Day of Judgment. . (Narrated by At-Tabarani)



The Prophet Muhammad (saw) never took revenge from anyone because if his personal grievance, unless what Allah the Exalted and Glorious had made inviolable had been violable.



The only reason for one to get angry is for the sake of Allah. Anger should only be for the sake of Allah. Satan provokes anger in man’s heart, and if one wants to put out this fire of anger, let him make wudu’ (ablution) and say “I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the accursed.” Everybody should be patient in order to avoid erring. The patient person is only known for his patience in times of anger.

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

the disastrous effects of sin are manifold: being recognised as the prime cause of calamities and destruction in both the worlds. it provokes the wrath of Allah and brings about divine punishments.

It deprives one from the Mercy, Favours and Blessings of Allah, decreasing one's sustenance and becoming a means of anxiety and perplexity. The light of the heart is extinguished and the lustre from one's face is destroyed. These are but some of the serious consequences of Sin, which remains the most destructive, highly detrimental and utterly devastating element on earth.

To save humanity from te disastrous effects of sin in both the worlds, thousands of Ambiyaa (A.S.) were sent to differentiate sin from piety, evil from good and vice from virtue. To this end, trails of righteousness and piety have been left behind for posterity with clear guidelines, distinguishing sin from virtue.

As a warning to humanity, the Holy Qur'aan also recounts events of destruction which annihilated many preceding nations for their indulgence in sin and transgressions.

Unfortunately today, shaitaan has spread hi net of deception far and wide, causing an attraction towards sin which has become disguised by other appealing forms and therefore perpetrated openly and fearlessly on a large scale, internationally.

An abstention from sin is the corner-stone of piety and spiritual advancement, the learned author has rendered a great service by identifying and pin-pointing sin in all spheres of one's lifem in the light of Islamic Teachings; and this simplifying the task for muslims to avoid sin.

This publication should be studied thoroughly by all members of the society and circulated widelyin order to create a general insight, awareness and consciousness of sin and its various branches.

I pray that Almighty Allah grant the learned author a long life and good health to continue his laudable efforts. May all his works be blessed with divine acceptance and crowned with resounding success.

Just picture it up! How happy will be the dweleers of Paradise! Faces, vivid and gleaming, havung received favours and rewards! Bright and shining because of the distinction permitting to see the Almighty! Allah has said:

Thou wilt perceive brightness of delight in their faces (83:24) ...

and (Allah) shall cause them to enjoy radiance and pleasure. (76:11)

They will be given to drink sealed wine of highest quality.

They will be given to drink of pure wine, sealed; the seal of which will be of musk (83: 25, 26)

Round shall be passed a cup unto them, filled with limpid drink, white; a pleasure to the drinkers. No headiness there shall be in it, nor shall they be inebriated with it. (37: 45-47)

[al_mahdi]

God has created an ideal world called paradise. It is a world of everlasting joy and bliss. No turmoil or pain mars its delight. One is never beset there by anguish or calamity. It is trouble-free world of infinite blessings, where one will experience neither death, boredom nor grief.

The search for such an ideal world is an instinctive urge in man. Everybody is searching for an invisible paradise; but none is able to find a paradise of such infinite blessings in the present finite world. God has reserved it for the next world.

None can earn paradise automatically; only those who perform heavenly actions on earth will be deserving of it. God has divided our lives into two parts; a short period on earth, and the rest in the hereafter. This world is for action. The next world is for reaping the rewards of our actions.

Young Boys and Slaves

THEY will be seated on the edges of rivers of wine, honey, milkand water. Alert boys will be around them, in attendance, ready to serve them on the slightest gesture.

And there will go round on them youths appointed to attend them as if they were pearls concealed. (52:24)

Youths ever-young will go round them (56:17)

man is free to do as he wishes on earth, but his free will is no more than a test. he should treat it as such. he should not revel in his power. those who are not deluded by their temporary power, and never lose sight of their true position, will be accomodated in paradise. those who rebel on the basis of their worldly power will abide in hell.

All real power in this world belongs to God alone. He is the Lord of all things. No one can escape from His control for an instant. Those who recognise this fact will submit to God of their accord. They are the ones who are worthy of paradise. Those who deny this fact and proceed in whatever direction their impulse takes them, are offenders in God's sight. They will have no share in the blessings of the life-hereafter.
