Seven people will be shaded by Allah Subhanahu wa ta' ala, under His shade on the day when there will be no shade but His Throne

"On the day of Resurrection, the sun would draw so close to the people that there would be left a distance of only one mile. The people will be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their ankles, some up to their knee, some up to their waist."

  • A just ruler- And do not let hatred cause you to act unjustly, that is nearer to piety (Soorah al-Maa'idah (5): 8) Unfortunately, even if we admit this in theory, we quicly forgot it in practice...We find good points in thoses we love, however we can find no good in those that we dislike. This is far removed from the justice which Allah loves and gives great reward for, as mentioned in the following Hadeeth: 'The door of justice will be on thrones of light at Allah's right hand- and both of Allah's hands are right hands.'
  • A youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic- It is the youth that is most vulnerable to the temptations of life and liable to drift away from the Islaamic path. The youth are lead to believe that their only young once, which is one of the many reasons why Muslims nowdays waste their youth thinking that they will pray, wear hijaab and go on Hajj, etc when they are old, as if they have a guarantee of longevity from Allah!!! Prophet Muhammed (saw) said: 'Take benefit of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied and your life before your death.'(Saheeh- Narrated by Ibn Abbaas and collected in al-Haakim and others)
  • A man whose heart is always attached to the mosque- Not only does it make the person eligible for Allah's shade on the day of judgement, but he is also raised by one rank and one sin is removed from him. '....Then when he prays, the Angels do not cease supplicaing for him (for) as long as he remains at his place of Prayer (sayings): 'O Allah send blessing upon him , O Allah have mercy upon him...' Narrated by Abu Hurairah and collected in Saheeh al-Bukhari
  • Two person who love each other only for Allah's sake, meeting for that and parting upon that- Having mutual love for the sake of Allah is one of the great doors leading to the good of the Hereafter and a cause of tasting the sweetness of Eemaan in this world. Loving one another for Allah's sake means that the Muslim does not love another expect for the correctness of his Deen. So it does not matter what the person looks like, what he wears, how rich or poor he is, where he comes from, or what the colour of his skin is. Perhaps you dislike everything about him, but you love him for his Eemeen.
  • A man who is seduced by a woman of beauty and position, but be says: 'i fear Allah' Subhanahu wa ta'ala- This just speaks for itself, Allah tests those who He loves and before you sin if you remember Allah and ask for guides, Allah will provided. (Inshallah)
  • A man who gives in charity secretly, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity-We have to remember that announcing who gave what to whom, why and when is wrong. Allah warns: 'O yu who believe! Do not render vain your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men and he does not believe in Allah nor in the last day.' (al-Baqarah (2): 264).
  • A person who remembers Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with tears- Our noble Prophet Muhammed (saw) informed us: 'If you knew what I knew, you would laugh little and weep much.' (Narrated by Aboo Hurairah and Anas and collected in Saheeh al-Bukhari) The Prophet (saw), who was the best of all creation, would weep as would all of his companions. Tears are a genuine expression of fear of Allah's punishment and of our sincere love and awe of Him. But how often do we remember Allah in seclusion and are then moved to tears? The Prophet (saw) said: 'There is nothing more beloved to Allah than two drops and two marks: A tear shed due to the fear of Allah, and a drop of blood spilled in the path of Allah.'(collected by...and al-Mishkaat(3837).
Dear brothers and sisters, devote yourself to being one amongst those seven, for indeed fortunate will be those who are granted Allah's shade on the day when there will br no shade but his.

(Bukhari and Muslim)
