Fwd’ing
"Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade
on the day when there will be no shade but His. They
are:
(1) A just ruler
(2) A young man who has been brought up in the worship
of Allah (alone) sincerely from childhood.
(3) A man whose heart is attached to the mosque (ie,
who offers the five fardh salats in jama’at in the
mosque).
(4) Two persons who love each other only for Allah’s
sake, and they meet and part in Allah’s cause only.
(5) A man who refuses the call of a charming woman of
noble birth for illegal sexual intercourse with her,
and says: ‘I am afraid of Allah’
(6) A person who practises charity so secretly that
his left hand does not know what his right hand has
given (ie, nobody knows how much he has given in
charity).
(7) A person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his
eyes get flooded with tears."
