Lesson 13

Seven Persons in Allah Ta'ala's shade on the day of judgement

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): The Prophet (Sallalahu Alaihe Wassalam)) said:

"Allah will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His. These seven persons are:

• 1) A just ruler
• 2) A youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood)
• 3) A man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the mosque in congregation)
• 4) Two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only
• 5) A man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah
• 6) A man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity)
• 7) And a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears."

[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 11, Number 629]

Know that Allah does give life to a dead heart just as He gives life to earth after its death
