The People of Paradise
Narrated Haritha bin Wahb Al-Khuzai:
I heard the Prophet saying. “May I tell you of the people of Paradise? Every weak and poor obscure person whom the people look down upon but his oath is fulfilled by Allah when he takes an oath to do something. And may I inform you of the people of the Hell-Fire? They are all those violent, arrogant and stubborn people.”Bukhari
“I love three things that are hateful to people: I love poverty, sickness, and death. I love them because poverty is humility, sickness is expiation for sins, and death results in a meeting with Allaah.”

Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi reported that the Messenger of Allah ( Blessings and peace be upon him) said :
“If a man goes out of his house and says, ‘Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘ala Allah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah’ ( In the name Allah, I put my trust in Allah, there is no help and no…

There are three types of young people. The upright, the corrupt, and the confused.
The Upright young people are believers in every sense of the word. They believe in their religion in such a way that they love it and are convinced by and content with it. They regard embracing it as profit and denial of it as clear loss.
The corrupt young people are religiously deviating, behaviorally reckless, self-deluded, and engulfed by their own vices.They do not accept truth from others, do not refrain from falsehood that is inherent in their minds, and are selfish in their conduct.
The confused young people are the ones who are uncertain,irresolute, and at a crossroad. They know the truth and are sure of it. They live in a religiously conservative society but have the misfortune of being exposed to evil channels from every direction. They are exposed to evils like scepticism about the truthfulness of the Muslim creed, corruption in conduct and behavior decadence in actions, attack on the established-customs and traditions.

“There is nothing more beloved to God than a youth who turns to Him.”
—Prophet Muhammad (saw)
“You see, Islam is the only religion that gives both husband and wife a true understanding of what love is. The Western “love” concept, you take it apart, it really is lust. But love transcends just the physical. Love is disposition, behaviour, attitude, thoughts, likes, dislikes - these things make a beautiful woman, a beautiful wife. This is the beauty that never fades. You find in your Western civilisation that when a man’s wife’s physical beauty fails, she loses her attraction. But Islam teaches us to look into the woman, and teaches her to look into us.”

So how do we approach the Qur’an? If you want to know someone what is the first thing you should know about them? Their name. For example if you are coming across campus and you think you see your friend and you say, “Oh, Muhammed!” He turns around and it’s not him. You…
“Indeed a servant commits a sin by which he enters Paradise; and another does a good deed by which he enters the Fire.” It was asked: How is that? So he replied: “The one who committed the sin, constantly thinks about it; which causes him to fear it, regret it, weep over it and feel ashamed in front of his Lord - the Most High - due to it. He stands before Allaah, broken-hearted and with his head lowered in humility. So this sin is more beneficial to him than doing many acts of obedience, since it caused him to have humility and humbleness - which leads to the servant’s happiness and success - to the extent that this sin becomes the cause for him entering Paradise. As for the doer of good, then he does not consider this good a favour from his Lord Upon him. Rather, he becomes arrogant and amazed with himself, saying: I have achieved such and such, and such and such . So this further increases him in self adulation, pride and arrogance - such that this becomes the cause for his destruction.”
