Deeds which may admit to Jannah

Abu Ayyub (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

A man said to the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam): "Direct me to a deed which may admit me to Jannah.''

Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)) said: "Worship Allah and never associate anything with Him in worship, establish Salat, pay Zakat, and strengthen the ties of kinship.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
This Hadith mentions the compassion for relatives. It indicates the importance of compassion for relation in Islam. The term `strengthen the ties of kinship' implies nice treatment of one's relatives regardless of circumstances, maintenance of contact with them and fulfillment of the requirements of relationship with them.

We do not know in which portion of food the blessing lies

Jabir (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) commanded the licking of fingers and the gleaning of the dish, saying, "You do not know in which portion the blessing lies.''

[Muslim]

Commentary:
This Hadith underlines the wisdom behind licking the fingers and the vessel. The eater never knows whether a blessing underlies what has been eaten by him, or the particles sticking to his fingers and vessels contain it. Those particles, therefore, should not be wasted; they should be made part of food by being licked. They may be invested with a blessing and proved more useful for the eater's health and strength. Moreover, by this way he escapes disregarding the Bounty of Allah.

Do not disdain a good deed no matter how small it may seem

Abu Dharr (Radhi-Allah-hu 'anhu) reported:

Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Do not disdain a good deed, (no matter how small it may seem) even if it is your meeting with your (Muslim) brother with a cheerful face.''

[Muslim]


Commentary:
Every deed approved by the Shari`ah is considered good and rewarding. Howsoever seemingly small people may consider it, it must not be looked at from a highbrow angle. Even to meet people cheerfully is one of the Islamic virtues, though it may appear quite insignificant to some people.

Abu Hurairah (Radhi-Allah-hu 'anhu) reported:

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"It is also charity to utter a good word.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
In Islam, it is not spending money alone that counts as charity; talking to somebody in a decent way also comes in the same context. Now, one can feel the importance Islam gives to moral values and good manners.

Do you want to grow plants in Paradise (Jannah) now!

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

"I met Ibrahim (PBUH) on the Night of Ascension (Al-Asra),

and he said to me:

`O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your Ummah, and tell them that Jannah has a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water. It is a plain levelled land. The plants grow there by uttering:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ، 

 وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَُر

Subhan-Allah,  Al-hamdu lillah,

La ilaha illallah  and Allahu Akbar

(Allah is free from imperfection; praise be to Allah;

there is no true God except Allah; and Allah is Greatest).''

[At-Tirmidhi]


Commentary:
Qi`an  is the plural of Qa` which means plain levelled land that does not have any tree. Trees grow on the plain land of Jannah in return for remembrance and Glorification of Allah. The more one remembers Allah, the greater is the number of trees which grow on the piece of land that will be awarded to him

Permission of Hajj and `Umrah through representative

Laqit bin `Amir (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

I came to the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and said:

"My father is a very old man and does not have strength to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) or `Umrah or to undertake the journey.'' The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Perform Hajj and `Umrah on behalf of your father.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary:
This Hadith also stresses permission of Hajj through representative where a person is not capable of doing it. But it is essential that the representative agent must have already performed Hajj.
