Book Name:Nazool e Quran Ka Aik Maqsid

2.   Sayyidunā Anas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that the final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم once recited the words:

وَّ قُوۡدُہَا  النَّاسُ وَ الۡحِجَارَۃُ

whose fuel is humans and stones.[1]

Then said, “The fire of Hell was stoked for a thousand years until it became red, then it was stoked for a thousand years until it became white, subsequently it was stoked for a thousand years till it became black. Now it is pitch black, and it will never be extinguished.”

Hearing this, an Abyssinian man began to weep, so Sayyidunā Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم descended and asked, “Who is this?”

The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, “He is from Abyssinia, and you liked his weeping.”

Sayyidunā Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم said, “Allah Almighty says, ‘By My might and honour! Whosoever from among My slaves cries out of fear of Me in this world, I will certainly make him laugh in Paradise.’”[2]

3.   The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “When a believer’s heart trembles with the fear of Allah Almighty, his sins fall like leaves fall from a dry tree.”

4.   The noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated, “Allah Almighty says, ‘By My might and honour! Whosoever fears Me in the world, I will place him in safety on the Day of Judgement.’”[3]
