ALMISKEENAH

 

Allah Ta’ala will initiate the Hour on the Day of Juma’ah. The day when our Noble Messenger SallAllahu alaihi wasallam will be raised from under his Abode of Peace, moving to Jannatul Baqi.

Allow the vision to reflect on the image above, and the heart to comprehend the scene on that day. Allah Ta’ala’s Prince of Creation SallAllahu alaihi wasallam is once more destined to walk upon this Mubarak dust.

And look again; imagining As-Sadiq, Abu Bakr and Umar bin Khattab RadhiAllahu anhuma and Isa AlaihisSallam and then Bilal RadhiAllahu following our beloved Prophet SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. All given life once again, moving from the Green Dome to meet tens of thousands of their Companions, and all the inhabitants of this small chosen piece of earth, with thousands more appearing from the south, from Makkah, SubhanAllah!

And take another glance. Or maybe that is impossible due to the tears impeding your vision as you try to conceive how this day will be.  

“On the Day of Resurrection, he will rise from the grave first. He will do shafaat first. His shafaat will be accepted first. He will knock on the door of Paradise first. The door will be opened for him at once. In his hand will be a flag called "Liway-i hamd." Adam ‘alaihis-salam’ and all Believers from his time until the end of the world will be under this flag. He declared in a hadith: "On the Day of Resurrection, I am the Sayyid of the former and the latter. I am telling the truth, I am not boasting." He declared in a hadith: "I am the habib, the darling of Allahu ta’ala. I am the Head of Prophets. I am not boasting." He declared in a hadith: "I am the Last Prophet; I am not boasting. I am Muhammad, the son of Abdullah. Allahu ta’ala created human beings. He created me as the best of human beings. Allahu ta’ala separated human beings into groups [nations, races]. He put me in the best. Then He separated this best group into tribes [societies]. He put me in the best. Then He separated this society into homes. He caused me to be born in the best home [family]. I am the best of mankind. I am from the best family. On the [Day of] Resurrection, when everybody will be silent, I will talk. At a time when nobody can move, I will intercede for people. At such a time when everybody will be utterly hopeless, I will give them good news. That day, I will have the key to every kind of goodness, to every kind of help, and to every door. Liway-i hamd will be in my hand. I am the most useful, the most generous, the best of mankind. That day, thousands of servants will be in my service. On the Judgement Day, I will be the leader, the preacher, the intercessor for all prophets. I am not saying this in order to boast. [I am telling the truth. It is my task to tell the truth. If I do not tell you this, I will not have done my duty.]” If it hadn’t been for him, Allahu ta’ala would not have created anything. It would not have been revealed that He, ta’ala, is the One to be worshipped.”

Who will be under his SallAllahu alaihi wasallam banner, his Liway-i-hamd on that Day?

In this current time of testing and disturbance how will our efforts be judged?

Behind which banner will we be assembled on that Day?

When Adam Alaihis Sallam was sent to earth Haqq descended.  When Shaitan was cursed Batil descended.

The rule of Allah Ta’ala is that Haqq beats Batil when confrontation occurs.

But today we see that Batil is dominant even when confrontation occurs. The reason is that the quality of Batil today is undiluted, uncontaminated, whereas Haqq has become contaminated.

In truth, the pure defeats the fraudulent or the deceiver.

However the confrontation is no longer between Haqq and Batil.  It has evolved into a battle between a bigger Batil and a smaller Batil, with the bigger overpowering the smaller.

Batil controls the tongue and heart to say, "We are the doers." The current form of Haqq is distorted by the tongue saying, “Allah does" while the confused heart says, "We are the doers."

Haqq wins when it is pure internally and externally; on the tongue and in the heart.

Who will be under his SallAllahu alaihi wasallam banner, his Liway-i-hamd on that Day?

Behind which banner will we be assembled on that Day?

It is narrated by Ali Ibn Al Hussein Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib, known as Zainul ‘Abideen, the beautiful crown of worshippers, that:

When it is the Yawm Al Qiyamah, a caller will call, "The people of Fadl, stand up".

So from among the people, a group will rise.

It will be said to them, "Move to Jannah".

So the angels will receive them saying, "To where?”

They say, "To Jannah".                                                     

So the angels will ask, "Before Hisab!"

So they will say, "Yes"

The angels will ask, "Who are you?"

They will say, "We are the people of Fadl"

The angels will ask, "What was your Fadl?"

They say, "It was our habit that when people transgressed against us, we bore it. And if we were oppressed, we were patient, and if an insult was directed to us, we forgave"

They say to them, "Enter Jannah, it is the best reward for the workers"

 

Then a caller will call, "The people of Sabr, Arise"

So from among the people, a group will rise.

It will be said to them, "Move to Jannah".

So the angels will receive them saying, "To where?"

They say to them the same so they say, "We are the people of Sabr"

So the angels will ask, "What was your Sabr?"

They say, "We brought ourselves to be patient with our obedience to Allah, and we made ourselves patient from committing any disobedience to Allah"

They say to them, "Enter Jannah, it is the best reward for the workers"

 

Then a caller will call, "The people who are the neighbours of Allah in His House, Arise"

So from among the people, a group will rise. And they are few.

It will be said to them the same.

So the angels will ask, "How did you deserve the neighbourhood of Allah in His House?"

They say, "We used to visit each other for the pleasure of Allah, we used to gather for the pleasure of Allah, and we used to give for the pleasure of Allah"

They say to them "Enter Jannah, it is the best reward for the workers"

Who will be under his SallAllahu alaihi wasallam banner, his Liway-i-hamd on that Day?

"If one of us had a thousand souls,
above those a thousand bodies,
each of which was cut piece by piece,
it would be a small insignificant, paltry price to pay for seeing that face SallAllahu alaihi wasallam and coming to him at his Hawd…his Pond." (Sh. Habib Umar bin Hafiz)
