Honest moments have a price with God
What is noteworthy in the hadith about the seven whom God will shade with His shade on the day when there is no shade but His shade.. Allah has made three seats for those who spend a single moment, even though four of them are for permanent deeds throughout a person’s life, such as a just imam, or a man whose heart is attached to the mosques, or a young man growing up in obedience to Allah, or two men who love each other for the sake of Allah, meeting and parting for that. These are deeds that require time and effort before sincerity throughout a person’s life. But to realize the shadow of the Most Gracious in a single moment!! Three places are reserved for those who have moments of sincerity out of seven: – A man who gives charity and hides it. (Once) – A man who remembers Allah in it in solitude and his eyes overflow with tears. (Once) – A man who is invited by a woman of position and beauty but he says, “I fear Allah.” (Once) Honest moments have a price with God…. Abu Sulayman Al-Darani says: Blessed is he who takes a single step, seeking nothing but the pleasure of Allah Almighty! O Allah, make our intentions and offspring righteous, and make faith beloved to us and adorn it in our hearts.
