بِرَحۡمَتِكَ يَا اَرۡحَمَ الرَّاحِـمِيۡنَ ﴿﴾

Have mercy upon us for the sake of Your mercy, O Allah, the Most Merciful.

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you seen how our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی used to tremble with fear despite being pious, abstinent and obedient to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that even some of them, overwhelmed by fear of Hell, would sob to the extent that their soul would depart their bodies.

Remember! The horrors, terrors and the torments of Hell send a hair-raising shudder in the bodies as soon as one hears about them.

Remember! The hellfire was kindled for one thousand years until it reddened, then it was kindled for one thousand years until it whitened, then it was
