What does Islam says about death and grave?

As a Muslim we have strong believe on death and the life after death. We know that this life is temporary and after this the life will be permanent. The time of every one’s death is fixed. When that time comes one of the angels of Allah comes and takes out the soul of the person.

What does the man see at the time of death?

  When the time of death comes the person see a lot of angels on both sides. The person who is a believer sees the angels of mercy. On the other hand the person who is a disbeliever sees angels having torment look.

How the angels take out the soul from the body?

The person who is a believer his soul is taken out with respect and honor. On the other hand if the person is disbeliever his soul is taken out with hatred and disdain.  Here is mentioned one part of the hadith which is narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurrairah:-

"The Angels are present with one who dies,  and if a believer dies,  they say,  'Come out,  good soul,  which was in the good body;  come out praiseworthy and be happy with rest and provision and a Lord Who is not angry.'   That continues to be said to it till it comes out.”

At which place souls are kept after taken out from the body?

The souls of the believer are kept at different places. The places where the souls are kept are:-

·         At sacred well of zam zam

·         Between earth and heaven

·         In first, second or seventh sky

On the other hand if the person is unbeliever his soul is kept:-

·         In his grave

·         In deep down the earth

Is there any relationship of soul and body after death?

After death soul has relationship with body. If the body remains in comfort the soul too feel comfort. On the other hand if the body is torment the soul too will be tormented.

 Can a soul of the dead person be entered in another’s body?

The soul of the dead person cannot be entered in others body. In Islam there is no concept about this.

How does grave say welcome to dead person?

If the person is believer the grave says him welcome like a mother who hugs her child with love. On the other hand if the person is disbeliever grave squeezes him his bones intertwined. 

To whom the dead person meets in grave?

In grave two angels are send by Allah Almighty. Their names are Munkir and nakir. They order the dead person to sit down and ask three questions.

·         Mar- Rabbuka?

·         Mar deenuka?

·         Who is He ?(Pointing toward Hazrat Muhammad)

If the person is believer he will give the right answer and if the person is disbeliever he will give the wrong answer and. After this the believer will take rest and disbeliever will be disturbed.  

In a Hadith it is said that:-

“When a believer is buried in the grave two angels will come to him (Munkar and Nakir, both have dark faces and blue eyes), make him sit up, and ask:  ‘Who is your Lord?’  He will reply:  ‘My Lord is Allah.’   They will ask him:  ‘What is your religion?’   He will reply:  ‘My religion is Islam.’  They will ask him:  ‘What is your opinion about the man who was sent on a mission among you?’  He will reply:  ‘He is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).’   They will ask: ‘Who made you aware of this?’   He will reply:  ‘I read Allah's Book, believed in it, and considered it true.’  Then a crier will call from Heaven:  ‘My servant has spoken the truth.    So spread a bed for him from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and open a door for him into Paradise.’  Then some of its air and perfume will come to him, and a space will be made for him as far as the eye can see.   At the death of the unbeliever his soul will be restored to his body in the grave.  Then two angels will come to him. They will make him sit up and ask him:  ‘Who is your Lord?’  He will reply:  ‘Alas, alas! I do not know.’   They will ask him:  ‘What is your religion?’   He will reply:  ‘Alas, alas! I do not know.’   They will ask:  ‘Who was the man who was sent on a mission among you?’    He will reply:  ‘Alas, alas! I do not know.’   Then a crier will call from Heaven: ‘He has lied, so spread a bed for him from Hell, clothe him from Hell, and open for him a door into Hell. Then some of its heat and burning hot wind will come to him, and his grave will be compressed, such that his ribs will be crushed together.   An angel who is blind and dumb will then be placed in charge of him, having a sledge-hammer, such that, if a mountain were struck with it, it would become dust.  He will give him a blow with it, which will be heard by everything between the east and the west except by men and jinn, and he will become dust.  Then his soul will be restored to him (again).

These are some common question which comes in our mind every time. We should be prepared for death and grave. Death can come at any time. Time is fixed for the death but we don’t know the time. So be prepared. It may come over to us in next moment.

Benefits of offering Fajar Prayer

The building of Islam is standing on five pillars. Namaz is one of the important pillars of this building. As a Muslims it is our foremost duty to offer five prayers in day. But many of us offer four prayers and the reason behind this is that we cannot wakeup in morning. We don’t know that how many benefits are there to offer fajar prayer. If we will know we will never leave the Fajar prayer.  

1.      Protection of Allah

The person who offers Fajar prayer remains in the protection of Allah Almighty in this world and the world hereafter.  In a Hadith it is said that:-

“Whoever prays Subh (Dawn prayer), then he is under the protection of Allah, but anyone who falls short with regard to the rights of Allah, then Allah will seize him and will throw him into the Fire of Hell.”

2.      Protection from the fire of Hell

Fajar prayer saves the person from the fire of hell. In a Hadith it is said that:-

“No one will enter the Fire who prays before the sun rises and before it sets.”

3.      Angels find the person praying

It is said by Holy Prophet (PBUH) that:-

“Angels come to you in shifts by night and by day. They meet at salah al-Fajr and salah al-Asr, then those who had stayed with you at night ascend, and are asked by the One Who knows better than they: “How did you find My servants?”

They say, “We left them when they were praying, and we came to them when they were praying”.

4.      Better than everything

It is said by Holy Prophet (PBUH) that:-

“Two Rakah of Fajr are better than this world and everything in it.”

5.      Avail a chance to see the Lord

It is said by Holy Prophet (PBUH) that:-

“You will certainly see your Lord as you see this (moon), and there will be no trouble in seeing Him. So, if you can avoid missing (through sleep, business, etc.) a prayer before the rising of the sun (Fajr) and before its setting (Asr) you must do so.”

6.      Source of energy and good temperament

It is said by Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) that:-

“The Satan ties three knots on the back of your heads when one of you goes to sleep. He blows (an incantation) on every knot, (saying): ‘You have a long night, so sleep (through it).’ so if the person wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is untied. And if he performs Wudu (ablution), another knot is untied. And if he prays, another knot is untied, and he arises (in the morning) energetic and having a good temperament. Otherwise, he arises with a bad temperament, feeling lazy.”

May Allah give us the power to offer Fajar prayer regularly! (Amen)

Jummah Is Like an Eid For Momineen

Jummah is the best day of the week. This day is full of blessings. Muslims celebrated two Eid in a year. Rest of these celebrations the celebration of Jummah are there in Islamic society. Jummah is just an Eid for Momineen. In many Ahadith it is said that Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) celebrated this day like an Eid.  It is a blessed day for Momineen. In a Hadith it is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-

“Jummah is the best of days. It was on this day that Prophet Adam (AS) was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into Jannah, it was on this day that he was removed from Jannah (which is a precursor for human existence in this universe, and Alhamdulillah is a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will also be evidenced on this day.”

In another Hadith which is narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurrairah it is said that:-

“We (Muslims) are Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Jummah) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they differed about it. So ALLAH gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in this respect: the Jews’ the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians’ (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday).”

How should we celebrate the Day of Jummah?

In Quran E Hakeem the command is given that what we should do on that Day of Jummah. In Surat Al-Jumu`ah it is said by Allah Almighty that:-

“O those who have believed! When the call to Prayer is proclaimed on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trade. That is better for you if you but knew.”

·        So the first think which we should do on the day of Jummah is that we listen the Azaan for Jummah prayer we should leave our work and be prepared for Jummah’s prayer.

·        To take bath on the day of Jummah and use Miswak is Sunnat. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that :-

“O Muslims! ALLAH SWT has made this day a day of Eid. So take bath on this day, whoever has perfume should apply it, and use the miswaak.”

·         Men should try to go in mosque in early hours. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-

“Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah’s cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba.”

·         To recite Darood E Pak is very much important. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-

“Recite Durood upon me in abundance on the day of Jummah since they are presented to me.”

·         We should recite Surah e Al kahf on the day of jummah. All the sins between the two days will be forgiven. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-

“One who memorizes the first ten verses of Surah Kahf will be secure against the Dajjal”

These are some characteristics of the Day of Jummah. So celebrate this Day as an Eid because for Momin that day is Eid in which he does a lot of worship to please Allah Almighty.

So with what excuse you come up to not offer Namaz?

Namaz is second most important pillar of Islam after Shahadah. It is obligatory for every person to offer Namaz. It is said by Ulama that the person who does not offer namaz and make lame excuses he is Kafir. Even after knowing this reality we miss many Salah. We not only miss one or two prayers but we miss much prayer in entire life. Some of us do not offer prayer at all. We make many excuses to not offer namaz. Many of us have different excuses which we make usually. So what’s your excuse?

1.      Allah Almighty is Ghafoor UR Raheem and He loves us more so definitely He will forgive us

There is no doubt in this matter that Allah is Ghafoor UR Raheem and off course He loves us more. But we should not forget this thing that with Ghafoor UR Raheem He is ash-Shadeed ul-Iqaab too. In Surah E Baqrah Verse 196 it is said that:-

“Fear Allah, and know that Allah is terrible in retribution.”

It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-

“The covenant that stands between us and them (non-Muslims) is prayer; whoever gives up prayer is a kaafir.”

2.     I am too tired

It is another excuse which we make. We do not offer prayer on time and delay it. To offer prayer on time is obligatory for all the Muslims. We miss prayers and expose ourselves to wrath of Allah Almighty. A true believer does not do this thing. In Quran E Hakeem it is said that:-

“What thrust you into Saqar? They will say, ‘We were not of those who prayed.”

3.     I am too much busy

We make this excuse that we are too mush busy in our work so that we cannot offer the prayer. So the thing is that we do not have even few moments for that who has created us and who has made us able to do the work. Think for a moment that He can snatch all the abilities from you to do the work. In Surah E Noor it is said that:-

“Men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allah, performance of Prayers and giving in charity.  They fear a Day when the hearts and sights will be convulsed.  So that Allah may reward them for better than what they did and add to them out of His grace. And Allah provides whom He will without reckoning.”

4.     My job/studies does not allow me to offer Namaz

Sometime our office hours or college/university hours do not allow us to offer Namaz. Even we have the proper facilities but we do not offer Namaz. We have forgotten our duty which is worship. Allah created Jin and humans for worship. But we have left this duty on choice. It is said in Quran E Hakeem that:-

“And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, and then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things.”

·        I do so many mistakes in my life so Allah will not forgive us only because of Namaz

We have forgotten that Namaz saves us from all the evils. We should offer namaz even if we have done 100 murders and ask for forgiveness from Allah Almighty. We should not be despair for the mercy of Allah Almighty. In Surah E Az Zumar that:-

“Say, ‘O My slaves who have committed excesses against their own souls, despair not of Allah’s mercy. Verily, Allah forgives all sins.74 Indeed, He is the All-forgiving, the All-kind.”

So these are some common excuses which we make when we don’t offer prayer. But in reality no excuse is expected. In Quran E Hakeem Allah Almighty has said that:-

“Guard the (daily) Prayers509 and (especially) the Wusta510 Prayer, and stand before Allah in all humility.”

Islamic Dream Interpretation - Marriage

We see different dreams in our lives. Sometimes these dreams symbolize happiness and sometimes these dreams are the symbol of grief. Sometime we see death in our dream and sometime the marriage festivals. There are different interpretations about different dreams. Here is the interpretation about marriage dream. Below is given the description about the marriage dream interpretation.

·         When a person sees a dream of marriage it symbolizes Allah Almighty’s providence and are for him.

·         To see marriage in dream symbolizes sorrow, depression, imprisonment.

·         If a person sees that he is marrying to a known woman it is a symbol that he will try his best to fulfill the responsibilities as a husband.

·         If a person sees that someone is marrying to an unknown woman but he cannot see himself in dream it is a symbol that he will die soon or he will move from old home to new home.

·         When a sick woman sees herself getting married with an unknown person its mean that she will die during this sickness.

·         When a man sees himself getting married it symbolizes that he will attain high rank in job or in society.

·         When a person sees himself getting married with witnesses it symbolizes that he has made an agreement with Allah Almighty.

·         If a person sees himself getting married with all the celebration it is symbol that he will get new job or he will attain the fame in his society.

·         If a man sees in dream that he is getting married with a woman who dies after the short period of his marriage it is a symbol that in future he will get a job from which he will gain nothing even after hard labor.  

·         When a man sees that he is getting married with a woman who has dominated nature it is a symbol that he will face different restriction in his movements.

·          When a pregnant woman sees that she is getting married with a man in dream it is a symbol that she will give birth to a baby girl.

·         When a pregnant women sees in dream the wedding night it symbolizes that she will give birth to a baby boy.

·         When a married woman who is having a son sees herself in dream getting married it is a symbol that in future she will arrange the marriage of her son.

·         When a man seed that he is getting married with the daughter of an knowledgeable man its mean that he will attain the prosperity.

·         When a man sees himself getting married with other’s wife its mean that he will lost his dignity.

·         When a person sees in the month of Dhil Hajj, Muharram, Rajab or Dhi Qadah  that he is getting married with his mother of sister  its mean that he will  move to Makkah and Madina. But if the person sees thet dream in other months its mean that his behavior toward his relatives will be kind.

·         When a man sees that he is getting married with an unknown man it is a symbol that he will he will attain the victory over his enemy.

·         If a person sees a perfume shop in his/her dream it is the symbol of marriage, children and happy news.

So these are interpretations to see colors in dreams. Some dreams are just meaningless which have no interpretation.

What does Islam say about Interpretations of dream?

In our life we meet with two types of people. On type of people does not believe on dreams. They deny the significance of the dreams and disregard them.  The other type of people is that who totally rely on dreams. They have strong believe that dreams control their life. They have so much strong believe on dreams that they make decisions according to their dreams. Interpretation of dreams has so much importance. It is a very popular thing. In Abassi Caliphate was so much popular that some people spent their whole life in specializing it. About dreams it is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) and narrates by Hazrat Anas Bin Malik that:-

“A good dream (that comes true) of a righteous man is one of forty-six parts of prophet hood.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]

In Islam that meaning of dream interpretation is to analyze the past and future situations. It is the 46 parts of prophecy.

Rules about interpretations of dream

·        It is narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurrairah that Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) said that:-

“There are three types of dreams: 1) True Dreams 2) A dream in which a person is speaking to himself (i.e. whatever you were thinking about in the day time, you see at night) 3) A dream from shaytaan in which he wants to make you sad”.

It is said that a good dream is from Allah so we should say thanks to Allah Almighty and a bad dream is from Shaytan so we should not tell this bad dream to anyone. It is said in Hadith that:-

"If anyone of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it and narrate it to others; but if he sees something else, i.e., a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Satan, and he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and he should not mention it to anybody, for it will not harm him."

·         It is a frequently asked question that every dream of a believer is good or not? The answer of it is that mostly dreams are good but sometimes believers see the meaningless dreams. There are three types of people whose dreams can be true or not.

1.      Prophets: - Most of their dreams are true but sometimes they also have the need of interpretation when they see the symbols

2.      The true believer: - Some of their dreams are directed but most of the dreams are symbolic and have the need of interpretation.

3.      Common people: - Some of their dreams can be true but most of the dreams cannot be true.

·         The next common question is to whom you should mention your dreams for interpretation. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that :-

“You should not mention this dream to an envious person”

·        The time of the dream matters a lot. We face the question that night time dream are true or day time dream. It is said by Ibn E Sirini that:-

“Dreams of day time are equal to the dreams of night.”

[Sahih Muslim]

·        When the same dream is repeated then it shows about the truth of the dream.

·        It is narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurraira (RA) that Hazrta Mohammad (PBUH) said that:-

“When Time approaches, the dream of the believer rarely would lie.”

Here the meaning of approaching the time is when the time of night approaches the length the time of day.

·         When we see good dreams in difficult situation these dreams will be true frequently.

·         Too much long dream has very little chances to be true.

·         It is a sin to tell that dream which he has not seen.

·         It is said by Holy Prophet (PBUH) that:-

A dream is hanging on the leg of a bird (and in another narration on the wing of the bird) as soon as it is interpreted, it happens as it was interpreted.”

 So it is important to tell the dream to a scholar for interpretation. May Allah save us from the dreams which come from Satan, give us happiness through our dreams and fulfill our good dreams (Amen). 

Come Closer to Allah Almighty

It is mentioned in Sura E Baqra that:-

“And when My slaves inquire you concerning Me, (let them know): surely I am close.I answer the call of the caller when he calls to Me. Therefore, let them respond to me, and have trust in Me, happily so they may be led a right”. (Surah E AL Baqra verse 186)

As a Muslim we all are familiar with the word “Allah”. In the above mentioned verse it is said that Allah is closer to them who are His slaves. Allah listens to them who call Him. The person who remains closer to Allah Almighty loves Him whole heartedly. In the reward of this love no grief can overcome to that person in this world and in the world hereafter. Allah is very close to all His humanity. He knows us very well and no secret of ours is hidden from us. He knows those who have believe and He knows those too who don’t have believe. He knows those who are pious and he knows those too who are sinner. But there are some special people who are very close to Allah Almighty. Here the question is who are they? They are that who want to remain closer to Allah Almighty. The people who love with Allah Almighty a lot are very closer to Him. There are many ways to come closer to Allah Almighty.

1.      First of be devoted in your worships. It is the important way to come closer to Allah Almighty. The people who becomes close to Allah Almighty love Him more than anything. So worship is the essential way to come closer to Allah. As Allah Himself has said in Quran E Hakeem that:-

“Nay! Do not obey him. Rather, prostrate yourself, and draw nigh”. ( Surat Al-`Alaq verse 19)

In a Hadith it is said that:-

"My servant does not come closer to me with anything more dearly to me than that which I made obligatory upon him. My servant keeps coming closer to me with more volunteer deeds, until I love him. When I love him, I become His ear by which he hears, his eyes by which he sees, his hand by which he holds and his foot by which he walks. If he asks me anything I shall give him. If he seeks my protection I shall grant him my protection”.

2.      Taqwa is very important thing to come closer to Allah Almighty. The person who is Mutaqi and pious. The people who do good deeds in life come close to Allah Almighty.

3.      Try to avoid the sins in your daily life. With every new start of the day make an aim of the day that you will not do any sin. At the end of the day before sleeping look at the passed day and look that what sin you have done. If you have done any sin try to avoid it next day. This think will make you able to lead a son free life and you will close to Allah Almighty.

4.      Always try to maintain the good manners. Try to be nice with those who are in your circle. Show respect to humanity.

5.      Have a blind trust on Allah. Be optimistic. That person comes very close to Allah who has trust on Allah and don’t use the word “impossible” because everything is possible for Allah. Always share your grief and sorrows with Allah Almighty. We have trust on humans which we should have on Allah Almighty.

So here are some ways which you can follow and come closer to Allah Almighty who is most merciful and without Him we are nothing. May Allah show us the right way (Ameen).

Easy Adhikar which Have Great Rewards

During the busy routine of our lives we forget to remember Allah Almighty. When we go to bed at night we should take a look on the whole day and we will realize that in whole day we have not remembered Allah Almighty.  Deficiency of dhikr, or remembrance inside Allah, may be blamed about mismanaging occasion or forgetfulness; we might not truly understand the weight on these kind of short phrases or phases on each of our hearts and also souls. The messenger of Allah describes the blessings of remembering Allah through or day. Basically, in this world you remember Allah within this life, He will remember you (and allow you great things) within this life along with the next. The Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) said that:-

“Allah says: ‘I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running” (Sahi Bukhari).

Below is the given about some Dhikars which are very easy and the Dhikars have great reward.

·         SubhanAllah is a best Dhikar. There is a great reward ogf this Dhikar. Once a person asked from Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that How I can get 1000 rewards. Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) said that:-

“Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying “Subhanallah” and a Good deed will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away.”

·        The Dhikar which we should do after every Namaz are SubhanAllah (33 times), Alhamdilillah(33 times) and Allah hu Akbar(33 times). The person who will do this Dhikar will have grea reward on the day of Judgment.

·        We should do Dhikar of Allah Hu Akbar 100 times in the morning.  

·        La illa ha illalah is a best Dhikar. Allah becomes happy with that person who does this Dhikar.

·        LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH is also the best Dhikar and it has a great reward. It is narrated by Hazrat Abu Dhar that Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH)  said that:-

“Should I not tell you of one treasure of the unlimited treasures of Paradise?” I replied spontaneously “Oh Rasulallah (Peace be upon him) that would be an honour indeed!” Rasulallah (Saw) said: “That rare treasure is LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH.” (“The strength to do good and to refrain from evil comes from the grace and mercy of Allah!”).

·         “SUB-HAN’ALLAH HIL AZEEM WA BI-HAM’DIHI” has also a best reward. It is narrated by Hadrat Jabir (RA) that Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said that:-

“For the person who recites SUB-HAN’ALLAH HIL AZEEM WA BI-HAM’DIHI, [Pure and perfect is Allah in his glory and praise], – A date palm will be planted for him in Paradise” (Tirmidhi)

·         You can earn billion rewards in just few seconds by doing Dhikar of Astagfirullah.

So here are some Adhikar which we all should do daily. We should do these Adhikar during travelling, walking or doing any act. We should not forget Allah Almighty in any condition. May Allah give us the realization about the importance of Dhikar (amen).

Shortcuts toward Jannah (Paradise)

This life is temporary not the permanent. The next life after this life is permanent which will never end. In the next life after this life the destination will be Paradise or Hell. If our destination will be jannah we are succeeded and if our destination will be Hell them there is nothing except Alas!  It’s in the nature of the man that whenever he thinks about destination he searches for the short cuts. There are some actions which are told in Quran E Hakeem and Ahadith that can lead man toward jannah or make the way easy toward jannah.

·         In Quran Allah says that :-

“If you abstain from the major (sins) that you are being forbidden, We will acquit you of your (minor) sins and allow you (into Paradise) a felicitous entry.”

When we avoid the major sins we make ourselves able to get a place in Paradise. Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) said that:-

“Avoid the seven great destructive sins." They (the people) asked, "O Allah's Messenger! What are they?" He(SAW) said, "To join partners in worship with Allah; to practice sorcery: to kill the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to islamic law); to eat up usury (Riba), to eat up the property of an orphan; to give one's back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting and to accuse chaste women who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers." (Bukhari)

·         The person who recites Ayt Ul kursi after the Fard Namaz will b entered in Jannah after his death.

·         The person who builds a Mosque for the happiness of Allah will be entered in Paradise as it is said in Ahadith that:-

Whoever builds a masjid seeking by it the Pleasure of Allah, Allah will build for him a similar place in Jannah.”

(Bukhari )

·        The Person who offers the Fajar and Asra’s prayer in first time will be entered in Jannah as it is said in Hadith that:-

“ Whoever prays the two cool prayers (Asr and Fajr) will enter Jannah.”

(Bukhari)

·        The person who will walk for the search of knowledge Allah will make easy for him him way toward jannah. This hadith is mentioned in Bukhari’s Book as:-

“Whoever treads a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him the path to Jannah.”

·        To follow the Sunahs is  also a shor cut toward jannah. There are too many Sunnahs regarding out daily actions like eating, drinking, wearing the cloths, walking and so on. When we follow the Sunnahs of beloved prophet of Allah becomes happy and He makes the way easy toward  Jannah.

·        The person who asks for Jannah from Allah Almighty 3 times Jannah itself prays for that person and he will be entered in Jannah. It is mention in hadith in this way that:-

“Whoever asks Allah for Jannah three times, Jannah will say: “O Allah, enter him into Jannah.”

(Thirmidi)

·         The person who feels proud and happy as a Muslim Allah will enter him in jannah as it is mentioned in Hadith that:-

The person who  says: “I am pleased with Allah as my Rabb, and with Islam as my Deen, and with Muhammad (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) as my Prophet, Jannah would be mandatory for him.”                                             (Abu Dawud)

So here are some short cuts which make the way easy toward jannah. Although these deeds look ordinary but Allah is most merciful and He gives the extraordinary rewards of ordinary deeds. May Allah give us courage to follow these short cuts and enter us in to jannah otherwise we will be in worst condition. May Allah save us from the fire of hell (amen)
