*A Message 4 You*
[[--- Part 24 ---]]------------------
بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم
Imagine a day where there is no night, no cool breeze, no water, and no shade.
The sun is not in the sky. It is right above your head, closer than you can imagine. The heat is like nothing on earth. Everyone who ever lived is there. And everyone is running, trying to find a spot to hide from the heat. But there is no spot. There is no shade. There is no escape.
On that day, you will sweat. You will sweat from the terrible heat. And your sins will decide how much you sweat. A small sin, a little sweat. Many sins, a river of sweat. People will be drowning in their own sweat because of the wrong they did. It will be a day of pure fear and regret.
But.
On that terrible, hot, frightening day… there will be one Shade. One shelter. The Shade of Allah, the Most Merciful.
And under that Shade will be special people. Safe. Cool. At peace. Who are they?
The Prophet (pbuh) said, “There are seven whom Allah will shade on a day when there is no shade but His. They are a just ruler, a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, one whose heart is attached to the mosques, two who love each other for the sake of Allah, a man who is tempted by a beautiful woman of high status but he rejects her, saying , ‘I fear Allah,’ and one who spends in charity and hides it such that his right hand does not know what his left hand has given (that's nobody knows about it), and one who remembered Allah in private and he wept.” 📚Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 660, Sahih Muslim 1031
Now,
According to the above hadith, one of these 7 persons are - JUST LEADER.
This does not only mean a king or a president. It means YOU.
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.” 📚Al-Adab Al-Mufrad Book 10, Hadith 1, Hadith 212
(1) Husband, you are a leader. You are responsible for your wife and children. Are you just with them? Do you treat them with fairness, kindness, and respect? Or do you hurt them with your words, your actions, or your neglect?
(2) Wife, you are a leader in your home. You are responsible. Are you just with your husband? Do you guard what is entrusted to you? Do you deal with fairness or with spite?
(3) Anyone, you are a leader over yourself. You are responsible for your own actions. Are you just in your dealings? Do you speak the truth? Do you return what you borrow? Do you give people their rights? Do you cheat in your work or your business?
My People,
Injustice is not just about big crimes. It is the unfair word to your spouse. It is the hidden betrayal. It is the broken promise. It is the favor you show to one child over another. It is the gossip that destroys a reputation. It is the withheld kindness. It is the lie you told.
On that Day, when the sun is burning you and your sins are making you sweat, you will wish for one thing only: to be under Allah’s Shade.
And the gate to that Shade is JUSTICE.
Strive hard. Today. Now.
Be the just husband.
Be the just wife.
Be the just child.
Be the just friend.
Be the just employee.
Be the just neighbor.
On the Day of Judgment, when the world is burning and hearts are filled with terror, the just person—the fair husband, the righteous wife, the honest individual—will be called. And they will walk, calmly and safely, into the only Shade that exists.
The Shade of Allah (swt), granted by His Mercy, earned by your justice.
Will you be among them?
