Chapter 26
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! how can you disobey Me, when you cannot even resist the hot sun of the desert. And indeed, for Hell, there are seven levels in which there are Fires which devour each other. In each level of Hell, there are seventy thousand valleys of Fire. In each valley of Fire, there are seventy thousand sections of Fire. In each section of Fire, there are seventy thousand cities of Fire. In each city of Fire, there are seventy thousand castles of Fire. In each castle of Fire, there are seventy thousand houses of Fire. In each house of Fire, there are seventy thousand rooms of Fire. In each room of Fire, there are seventy thousand wells of firs. In each well of Fire, there are seventy thousand chests of Fire. In each chest of Fire, seventy thousand trees of Zaqqum (a bitter and pungent tree sicribed as growing at the bottom of Hell. Under each tree of Zaqqum, there are seventy thousand nails of Fire. With each nail, there are seventy thousand chains of Fire. And in each chain, there are seventy thousand serpents of Fire. And the length of each serpent is seventy thousand yards. And in the stomach of each serpent there is an ocean of black poison, in which there are seventy thousand scorpion of Fire. And in each scorpion has seventy thousand tails of Fire. And the length of each tail is seventy thousand vertebras(each segment of backbone). And in each vertebra there are seventy thousand Ratls (each Ratl=449.28 gramme) of red poison. I swear by self, “by mount Sinai, And by the written Book, By an outstretched fine parchment, By the House (Ka’ba) that is visited, By the elevated canopy, By the swollen sea; O, Son of Adam! I have not created this Hell Fire but for all the unbelievers, and the for the miser, and for the gossiper, and for A’aq(disinherited by the father) from father, and for the preventer of Zakat (alms), and for the eater of Riba (interest), and for the Zani (adulterer), and for the collector of Haram (unlawful), and for the one who forgive’s the Qur’an, and for the bad neighbor. Except those who do repentance (Tawba), and acts upon good. O, My servants! have mercy upon your selves! indeed your bodies are weak, and the way is far, and the burden is heavy, and the path is thin, and the Fire is high, and the caller is Israfeel, and the Judge is the Lord of the universe.
Chapter 27
Almighty Allah says:
O,You people! how could you be pleased with, and attached with this world? Indeed it is perishable, and its sustenance are disappear, and its life is going to be cut short. Thus indeed for the from Me for the followers there is Heavens which has eight gates. And in each Heaven, there are seventy thousand gardens of Sophorine. In each garden, there are seventy thousand cities of pearls, both large and small. In each city, there are seventy thousand palaces of Ruby. In each palace, there are seventy thousand rooms made of gold. In each room, there are seventy thousand stages made of silver. In each stage, there are seventy thousand tables. On each table, there are seventy thousand plates of jewels. In each plate, there are seventy thousand kinds of food. Around each stage, there are seventy thousand thrones of red gold. And on each throne, there are seventy thousand carpets made of silk and thick silk brocade. Around each throne, there are seventy thousand rivers flow with life water, wine, and pure honey. In each river, there seventy thousand kinds of fruits. In the same manner, in each room, there seventy thousand purple tents. In each tent there are seventy thousand carpets. On each carpet, there seventy thousand Huris(female angles) with big eyes. With them there are seventy thousand mates as if they were eggs carefully protected. And on top of each palace there are seventy thousand domes of camphor. In each dome there are seventy thousand gifts from the Merciful, which hasn’t been seen by any eyes, heard by any ears and no human being could think of it. And there shall be fruits what they like, and meet of birds what they like to eat. There shall be Huris, the like of the hidden pearls. A reward for what they used to do,(56:23-24). There shall be no death, no crying and no grief, not going to be get old, no worship and prayer, no fasting no sickness, no urinating, no stool shall come, no growth, never going get afraid, and no body is going to take them out. Thus the one who seeks My pleasure, seeks My house Generosity and My neighbor, then he should seek these by giving Sadaqa(alms), by un pleasing this world, and by contentment with little. I bear witness of self for self, there is no god but Me, and Esa (Jesus) and Uzair (Ezra) are My two servants among My servants, and two prophets among My prophets.
Chapter 28
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! the wealth is Mine and you are My servant. Nothing is yours except what you eat and finish and what you wear and turn it into rags. What ever charity you give, you make it eternal. Whatever you gather does not benefit you and it becomes worthless. Indeed, you are divided into three parts: One part is for Me, one part is for you and the last part is between you and Me. The one which is for Me is your soul. The other one which is for you are yourdeeds, the third part which is between you and Me is supplications on your part and acceptance on My part. O, Son of Adam! be humble so that you can know Me. Stay hungry so that you can see Me. Pray to me so that you can find Me. Be alone so that you can reach Me. O, Son of Adam! a king is thrown into Hell because of his oppression, an Arab because of his pride of being an Arab, a scholar because of his jealousy, the poor because of his lies, businessmen because of their treachery, farmer because of their ignorance, worshipers because of their showing off, wealthy people because of their pride indigent because of their carelessness, dyers because of their fraud, preventor of Zakat because of their prevention. Then where are the seekers of Jannat (Heaven)?
Chapter 29
Almighty Allah says:
O, You who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah with the care which is due to Him, and do not die unless you are Muslims (3:102) O, Son of Adam! the parable of deeds without knowledge is like thunder without rain. Knowledge without practice is like tree without fruit. Knowledge without piety and humbleness (Zuhd Wa Khusho’u) is like wealth without Zakat (alms), food without salt and like cultivation on rocks. Parable of knowledge in the eyes of the insane is like pearls and rubies in the eyes of animals. The example of hardened heart is like a solid stone in water. Giving advise to a person who is not willing to listen is like whistling in front of graves. Giving Sadqa(alms) from Haram wealth is like washing feces with urine. Prayer without Zakat is like body without soul. Deeds without Tawba(repentance) is like building without foundation. What! do they feel secure from Allah’s plans? But none feels secure from Allah’s plan except the people who shall perish (7:99).
Chapter 30
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! as much as your heart desires towards this world that much My love gets away from your heart. Indeed, I will not let My love and love of this world gather in one heart. Be alone for My prayers.Purify your deeds from showing-off then I will make you wear the clothes of My love. Turn towards me and be ready for My remembrance, I will remember you in front of My angles. O, Son of Adam! remember Me with humbleness, I will remember you with My blessings. Remember Me by fighting with your soul, I will remember you by watching. Remember Me on the earth, I will remember you in the grave. Remember Me in bounties and in good health, I will remember you in difficulties and loneliness. Remember Me in good health and wealth, I will remember you in your poverty and hardship. Remember Me with truth and purity, I will remember you in exalted Heaven. Remember Me by being kind towards poor people, I will remember you in Heaven, the place to be resorted to. Remember Me by submission, I will remember you with divinity. Remember Me by crying, I will remember you with mercy. Remember Me with words, I will remember you with rewards. Remember Me by abandoning this world, I will remember you by giving you salvation of the Hereafter. Remember Me in your extreme difficulties, I will remember you with perfect salvation.
Chapter 31
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! Remember Me, I will answer you. Call upon Me without carelessness, I will answer you without any delay. Call upon Me with empty heart, I will answer you by promoting you to higher rank. Call upon Me with purity and piety, I will answer you by presenting the Heaven, the place to be resorted to. Call upon Me with fear and hope, I will make all your affairs easy and successful. Call upon Me by My High Names, I will meet your high demands. Call upon Me in this perishable and vanishing house, I will answer you in the house of reward and eternity. O, Son of Adam! how long are you going to say Allah, Allah, while you have (others)besides Allah in your heart.Your tongue is remembering Allah, but you fear besides (others) Allah and you have in (others) besides Allah.If you would have known Allah you would not have given importance to any thing besides Allah.You commit sins and you don’t seek pardon from Allah? Indeed, seeking pardon and constantly sinning (at the same time) is the repentance of liars (Tawbatul Kazibin), Allah is not unjust to his servants(41:46).
Chapter 32
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! your death is laughing at your desires.My decree is laughing at your death. My destiny(Taqdeer) is laughing at your plans(Tadbeer). My Hereafter is laughing at you world. My fortune is laughing at your greed. Indeed, your sustenance are known and measured, written and treasured. Therefore, rush towards death with your good deeds before death overtakes you, because nobody is going to eat up (your sustenance). We have distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world. And We have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass(43:42). O, Son of Adam! death is going to befall upon you even if you dislike it. Have patience on your Lord’s commands, because your are indeed going to be raised. Then declare the glory of your Lord and praise Him while you are awake at night and declare glory of Him at the time when the stars disappear.
Chapter 33
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! you devise plans and I devise plans, but nothing happens except what I plan. The one, who tries to reach Me, knows Me. The one, who knows Me, wants Me. The one, who wants Me, seeks Me. The one, who seeks Me, finds Me. The one, who finds Me, serves Me. The one, who serves Me, remembers Me. The one, who remembers Me, I remember him with My Mercy. O, Son of Adam! Your deeds are not going to be purified unless you taste four kinds of death: Red death, Yellow death, Black death, White death. Red death is tolerance of calamities and abstaining from harming others. Yellow death is hunger and hardships. Black death is to disobey the desires of your ego. Therefore, do not obey your evil desires, otherwise they will take you away from the path of Allah. White death is seeking to be hermit (Uzlat).
Chapter 34
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! My angels are watching you night and day so that they may write against you what you say and do, be it little or much. My Heavens bear witness to everything you see. The earth bears witness for every action of yours that you’ve done on it. The sun and the moon and the stars are being witness against you, for whatever you say and do. Whatever is hidden in your heart, I know it very well. Don’t be negligent about yourself. Indeed, you will be caught in the claws of death. After a very short period of time, you will be marching (towards death). Whatever good or bad deeds you have brought forward, they will be there without any addition or subtraction. You shall be paid back for everything that you’ve done. O, Son of Adam! the lawful never comes to you but little by little, and the unlawful comes towards you like a flood. One who has cleansed his passions has cleansed his “deen”(way of life).
Chapter 35
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! do not be pleased with your wealth; it won’t last forever. Do not become sad because of poverty; it is neither a burden nor is it incumbent upon you. Do not become hopeless because of calamities; indeed gold is tested by melting it in fire; likewise a believer is tested by calamities (Balaa). Indeed, the wealthy are respected in this world and humiliated in the Hereafter. And the poor are humiliated in this world and respected in the Hereafter. Indeed, the Hereafter is prosperous and eternal. O, Son of Adam! If you see your quest staying (due to circumstances) for more than nine day then you say: “ I seek refuge with Allah from His wrath”. O, Son of Adam! the Wealth is Mine and you are My Servant and the quest is My Messenger. If you stop giving My wealth to My Messenger, then do not desire My Heaven and My Sustenance. O, Son of Adam! the Wealth is Mine and the rich are My Representatives and the poor are My Dependents. The one who is mean towards My Dependents I will make him enter into Hell and I will not care for him! O, Son of Adam! three things are incumbent upon you from your wealth: Zakat (alms), kindness towards relatives, and respect for guests. If you don’t do what I have made incumbent upon you, indeed I will engulf you in fear and I will make you an example (Ibrat) for All mankind. O, Son of Adam! if you don’t care for your neighbors as you care for your children, I will not see you, I will not accept your (good) deeds, and I will not accept your supplications. O, Son of Adam! don’t be proud of the likes of you. Indeed, your beginning is from sperm which is unclean (Nagis) and which is from flowing semen. It comes from between the back and the ribs (86:7). O, Son of Adam! remember the time in which you will stand before Me humiliated. Indeed, I am not unaware of your secrets for even a blink of an eye. Indeed, I comprehend (the secrets) that are in their hearts(3:119).
Chapter 36
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! be generous! Indeed, generosity is part of pure certainty and certainty is part of faith and faith is from Heaven. O, Son of Adam! beware of being a miser! Indeed, miserliness is from Kufr(disbelief) and Kufr is from Hell. O, Son of Adam! beware of the curse from the oppressed! Because nothing can prevent it from reaching Me. If I did not love to forgive, I would not have tested Adam and then sent him back to Heaven. O, Son of Adam! if I did not love to forgive, I would not test My Servants with sins. O, Son of Adam! I have given you faith and forgiveness without your asking and crying for it. Then how can I be mean by not giving you Heaven and forgiving you when you are seeking and crying for it (Heaven). Oh, Son of Adam! if any of My servants holds fast unto Me, I will guide him. Whenever any of them trusts Me, I will make him sufficient. If he trusts others besides Me, I will cut him off from the Bounties of the Heavens and the earth. O, Son of Adam! do not miss the morning prayer (Fajr), because all the things on which the sun shines will pray for the one who performs the prayers. O, Son of Adam! you have made all My Commands go in vain and you are ready to commit sins. Then who will protect you on the Day of Judgement from My wrath?
Chapter 37
Almighty Allah says:
O, Son of Adam! behave with the people in good manners and I will love you. I will put your love in the hearts of pious people; and I will forgive your sins. O, Son of Adam! put your hands on your head. Think: Whatever you like for yourself, like the same for others. O, Son of Adam! do not be grieved over what you lose in this world. Do not be happy with what you gain from this world. Indeed, this world may be yours today, but tomorrow, it will be for others. O, Son of Adam! seek Hereafter and leave this world, because an atom of the Hereafter is better for you than all this world and what it contains. O, Son of Adam! be ready for death before it comes to you! If I wanted to give this world to any of My Servants, I would have given it to My Prophets, so they would call My Servants to My Obedience. O, Son of Adam! how many wealthy people have been made poor by death?! How many laughing people have cried because of death?! How many of My Servants are those upon whom I have bestowed My Bounties in this world? But they exceeded all limits and stopped obeying (My Commands) till death over took them and put them into Hell. How many of My Servants are those upon whom I have bestowed My this world, but they still are patient?They die and enter Heaven.
Chapter 38
Almighty Allah says:
Oh, Son of Adam! you start your day with two great bounties. You don’t know which one is greatest for you. Your sins that are hidden from the eyes of the people or the good praises about you from people.If people know what I know about you, not one of My creatures will say Salaam (halo) to you!Purify your deeds from showing off and expecting praise. Indeed you are humble servants of the Lord you are ordered to obey Him.Increase your belongings! Indeed, you are a traveller! There is need of belonging for every traveller.Oh, Son of Adam! my treasure never ends. My hand is open for gifts forever.Whatever you spend in My way I will give you that much backWhatever you cease to spend in My way I will cease to give bounties to you.Oh, Son of Adam! fear of poverty means distrusting Almighty Allah the exalted.Because of your uncertainty you are mean towards the indigent.Oh, Son of Adam! those who are grieves about their sustenance, indeed they have doubted My bounties and have not acknowledged My prophets. Indeed, they have rejected My Lordship; and the one who has rejected My Lordship surely, I will put him in Hell on his face.
Chapter 39
Almighty Allah says:
Oh, Son of Adam! make your heart agree with your tongue, and your tongue agree with you deeds, and purify your deeds by acting for My sake only.Indeed the heart of a hypocrite does not agree with his tongue, and His tongue does not agree with his deeds, and his deeds are for other than Allah.Oh, Son of Adam! whatever you speak with your tongue, whatever you see with your eyes, whatever steps you take, there are two angles with you who write for you and against you.Oh, Son of Adam! I did not create you for gathering wealth for yourself and others; but I created you to worship Me humbly and thank Me a lot, and praise My glory day and night. Indeed, your sustenance is determined. The greedy is deprived. The miser is condemned. The jealous is sorrowful. The tester is ever living and eternal. !Oh, Son of Adam! serve Me! Indeed, I love those who serve Me. Indeed you are degrade and weak servant, and I am powerful and glorious Lord. If your brother just smells your sin, he will never sit beside you. Your sins are increasing everyday and your life is decreasing. Don’t waste your life in falsehood and carelessness. If you want more then be in the company of the generous. Seek refuge from the worldly people and mix with the deprived. Oh, Son of Adam! the one whose ark has been destroyed in the sea and he is afloat on apiece of wood; His difficulties and his hardships is not greater than yours because you are+ê, certain of your sins. Oh, Son of Adam! I become closer to you with prosperity and by hiding your sins. It is you that by your disobedience and by making this world your and destroying your Hereafter, you make Me your enemy. Oh, Son of Adam! if you don’t sit with the poor and the prosperous people then how will you be prosperous? Oh, Musa son of Imran! listen carefully to what I say!People feel secure from the mischief of the one who has true faith in Allah. Mischief means oppression, tricks, gossiping, backbiting, injustice, jealously, harm,internal(secret)and external(appearance).
Chapter 40
Almighty Allah says:
Oh, Son of Adam! I will fill your heart with poverty, your hands with difficulties, your body with afflictions, your chest with grief, I will not answer your supplications and I will make your world difficult for you and decrease your sustenance. Oh, Son of Adam! I am pleased with your day to day prayer and you be pleased with My day to day sustenance. Oh, Son of Adam! Go slow! Indeed your sustenance is distributed. The greedy is deprived. The jealous is degraded.The bounties of this world are not permanent! Oh, Son of Adam! make your ark strong! Indeed, the ocean is deep and deep. And add to your provisions because the journey is long and difficult. Oh,Musa! Indeed the servants act in this world until death overpowers him. Then he regrets his past sins and wrongdoing. He then seeks to return to this world so he can do good deeds.Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, therefore send us back,
