The Seven Types Of People To Be Shaded By The Shade Of Allah Azawajal

There are seven types of people who will be shaded on the Day of Resurrection by the shade of Allah and there will be no shade other then the shade of Allah, under His Throne. This description befits the Majestic attributes of Allah and is beyond the realm of this world.

1. A just ruler Allah has given authority to different classes of people. For example the head of state, or the businessman, the leader of a group, or a sheik, a friend, a mother, father, daughter, sister, a brother or a son and so forth. And each person has some sort of authority or responsibility over another and those who are fair and reasonable with the people under their care will be shaded by the Shade of Allah from His S.W.T Mercy. Such as a righteous woman who would, as a routine wake her husband and children to offer the voluntary prayers in the last part of the night and she would severely hit her children who were found sleeping at the time of Fajr. A woman such as this is God-Fearing and obedient to Allah Alone Who answered all her supplications and enveloped her with His Mercy.

2. The youth (between the ages of 15 40) Whosoever is raised from a young age, conscious of Allah at all times will be shaded by the Shade of Allah and by His S.W.T Mercy will be saved from the Hell-Fire because they will have acquired the strength and understanding to avoid evil (the haraam acts and desires) and Allah is pleased to see such young people obedient and submissive to Him Alone. The youth are the most nave and inexperienced group of people which is why many distractions and temptations i.e. music, movies, fashion etc are targeted towards the youth. But Allah is pleased with those who instead avoid evil in order to gain something fully satisfying in the Hereafter. The Prophet S.A.W spoke of five before five, that is: 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.'

3. One whose heart is attached to the Masjid Whosoever rushes to the Masjid before the imam arrives will be shaded by The Shade of Allah. Furthermore he is not distracted by his wife, children, wealth or work when he prays in deep concentration to Allah. A woman however should pray at home as the Prophet S.A.W said it is better for her to do so but she should not be prevented to offer prayers at the Masjid. The prayer is an important aspect of faith. There was once a man who used to pray only when people were praying because he felt obliged but one day he decided for himself that he will pray so he went to the Masjid and it so happened that the people were about to pray on a deceased man. He saw that they were having difficulties for the deceased man to enter the Masjid, for some reason he would not go through the doors. It is said because the angels would move the people in a way to always block the entrance, so the people were forced to pray on the deceased man outside. They knew there was

something wrong with the deceased man so they checked his cloth and what they found was terrified looking deceased man with a burnt face. Curiosity enveloped the man who coincidently went to this particular Masjid so we went to find out why the deceased mans face looked burnt and terrified. What he found out was that the deceased man would only pray occasionally hence the terrified and burnt looking face; and this is a good reminder for the believers not to miss the obligatory prayers.

4. One who loves another for the sake of Allah Whoever gives, loves and forgives for the sake of Allah has perfected their religion (imaan). Whoever loves being with other believers will all be placed together in the Hereafter and whoever loves/admires celebrities and artists then they will abide with them in the Hell-Fire. The Prophet S.A.W said: Allah S.W.T will say on the Day of Resurrection, where are those who love one another through My glory? Today I shall give them shade in My shade, it being a day where there is no shade but My shade.[Bukhari]

5. A man who is called upon by a woman to commit zina (illegal sexual intercourse) Whoever is faced with zina but refuses out of fear of Allah will be shaded by the Shade of Allah. Zina is a horrendous crime in Islam which is why the Islamic law states that man and women must lower their gaze in public to prevent these types of crimes; it is not just an obligation upon man to lower their gaze but it applies to women all the same and both man and women are accountable for the amount of zina that they commit. Zina is a broad term which includes a lustful look, flirtatious conversations, touching and intermingling and any other acts which lead to illicit sexual behaviour.

6. Charity that is given in secret Charity that is given in secret suggests the humbleness and sincerity of that persons actions and that is why whoever spends in charity secretly will be shaded by the Shade of Allah. There was once a mother who was feeding her two children some dates. She was about to feed herself the last date when her children began to cry out of hunger and so she split the date in half and gave them each half the date and because of her charity Allah has opened for her the doors of Paradise.

7. One who remembers Allah Whoever contemplates about Allah in private and cries out of the fear and love of Allah which receive the Shade of Allah. The Companions of RasulAllah S.A.W would cry at night in the privacy of their homes asking Allah to forgive their sins and elevate them in rank. And there was once a man who was crying in his bed until his pillow was soaking wet from his tears while his wife was beside him sound asleep, she had no idea her husband cries at night for forgiveness from Allah for his sins and Allah loves the humble and righteous of His slaves.

How To Enter Jannah Without Any Accountability

It was narrated By Ibn 'Abbas that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said: 'nations were displayed before me; one or two prophets would pass by along with a few followers. A prophet would pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of people passed in front of me and I asked, who are they, are they my followers?" It was said, 'No. It is Moses and his followers. It was said to me, 'look at the horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people filling the horizon. Then it was said to me, 'look there and there about the stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the horizon,' it was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then the Prophet (s.a.w) entered his house without telling his companions who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started talking about the issue and said, "it is we who have believed in Allah and followed His Messenger; therefore those people are either ourselves or our children who are born in the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance.'' When the Prophet (s.a.w) heard of that, he came out and said, "those people are those who do not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds etc) nor do they get themselves branded (cauterized) but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that 'Ukasha bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Messenger of Allah? ' The Prophet (s.a.w) said, "yes." Then another person got up and said, "am I one of them?" the Prophet (s.a.w) said, 'Ukasha has anticipated you." Bukhari Volume 007, Book 071, Hadith Number 606.

From the above Hadith it is clear that seventy thousand among the Muslims from the beginning to the end of time will enter Jannah without having to go through the process of judgment on the Day of Judgment; rather Allah will have forgiven them with no accountability and so they will be able to enter Jannah without delay. This is an incredible Hadith that gives Muslims hope and gives them an idea in regards to the just and merciful attributes of Allah Azawajal. The main factor in which the seventy thousand blessed Muslims have in common is the fact that each one of them believed in Allah and placed their complete trust and reliance in Him alone. Hence, they did not partake in any ruqya (which is a healing process that can be done in a halal or haraam manner); they did not partake in even the halal process of ruqya as it can take away ones complete trust in Allah when they begin to believe that the cure is in the recitation of the Quran or the successfulness of the sheik conducting the Ruqya instead of Allah alone, they did not visit fortune tellers, soothsayers or the likes thereof and they avoided the medical practice of burning parts of their body to remove unwanted warts and the likes thereof which is called cauterization. May Allah make us one of the seventy thousand Muslims and provide shade for us on the Day of Judgment inshallah. AMEEN!
