The Special Seven on the Day of the Greatest Fear

“Say: Praise be to Allah {SWT} and peace on His servants whom He has chosen: is Allah (SWT) or what they associate (with Him)?” {Suratul Naml Q27:59}

“There are seven whom Allah {SWT} will shade with His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His:

The just ruler;

A young man who grows up worshipping his Lord (without ever associating anything or anyone with Him) ;

A man whose heart is attached to the mosque;

Two men who love one another for the sake of Allah {SWT} and meet and part on that basis;

A man who is called by a woman of rank and beauty but he says: “I fear Allah {SWT};

A man who gives in charity and conceals it to such an extent that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives;

And a man who remembers Allah {SWT} when he is alone and his eyes fill up (with tears).”

We will be wise to think long and hard on a single one of these special virtues that we can sincerely commit to, and then get to work on it immediately.

May Allah (SWT) make it easy for us to put into practice. Aamiin
