Fitnah al-Maal: Save Yourself with Just Half a Date (Part 19)

6 February 2017

Fitnah of Wealth Series by Shaykh Sa'd ash-Shathree

Caution! It is possible that a person enters the blazing fire due to half a date, yes, just half a date!

The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “There is none of you except Allaah Will Talk to them without there being any need for translators. If he looks to his right he will see his deeds, if he looks to his left he will see his deeds. Anywhere he looks, he will only see the deeds that he has sent forth. If he looks ahead of him, he will see the Fire awaiting him. So fear the Fire even it be by half a date![1]”

Parellel to this, the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] has promised a great reward and the entering into Jannah to those those who vary in their degree with up to forty different stages. The lowest of them is a person who feeds milk from a sheep that he owns[2]. Minor was his expenditure but multiplied is his reward.
