The punishment for a sin which is immediately given in the world and its torment is stored [to be given] in the Hereafter as well, is not greater than rebellion and severing ties with relatives. (Suna-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 229, Hadees 2519)

Dear Islamic brothers! Everyone should ponder which relatives they have differences with. If anyone finds out any quarrel with any relative, he should immediately make efforts for reconciliation with displeased relatives provided there is no Shar’i prohibition. Even if you have to degrade yourself, do it for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. You will reach heights of respect, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ. The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘﴿مَنۡ تَوَاضَعَ لِلّٰهِ رَفَعَهُ اللّٰهُ﴾’ That is, one who shows humility for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is granted loftiness by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Evil consequence of interest

Dear Islamic brothers! Have you heard that those unfortunates who remain deprived of forgiveness one of them is interest taker, is not granted salvation in the sacred night. Sayyiduna Ibn Hajar Haytami Makki رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: When I was younger, I used to go to the grave of my blessed father رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه regularly where I used to recite Glorious Quran. Once in the blessed month of Ramadan, I went to the graveyard after Fajr Salah and probably it was the last ‘Asharah of Ramadan rather Layla-tul-Qadr. Except for me, there was no one in the graveyard. Anyhow, hardly I recited a little from Glorious Quran, suddenly I heard someone weeping, and he was repeatedly saying ‘ah’, ‘ah’, ‘ah’. It was a bright whitish grave prepared by white wash producing that sound. It panicked me. I stopped recitation and tried to hear. I heard the sound of torment coming from the inside of that grave. I kept hearing it for a while; when there was sunlight all around, that voice was no longer audible.

Thereafter, a man passed by me, I asked him as to who is buried here in this grave. He told me about a person whom I saw in my childhood. He used to come to Masjid abundantly, and used to perform his Salah with punctuality and did not use to indulge in unnecessary conversation. As I had seen him so I identified him but the present condition of this man exerted huge impact on me. I learnt that his righteous deeds in his life were merely showing off
