Chapter 8: Changes
© Abu Zaynah
That night Afsana went up to her room and locked the door shut. With tears rolling down her eyes she contemplated the evening that had just passed. Many lessons had been learnt that evening. She learnt not to put too much hope in others and that sometimes fate had other plans for a person than the one they had envisaged for themselves.
Anas (RA) reports:
“The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) often rubbed oil in his head and also often combed his beard. He put a cloth over his head, which became like an oil cloth due to the frequent use of oil.”

“A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. You should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a loser.” said the Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings be upon him). He (may peace and blessings be upon him) also said “When someone with whose religion and character you are satisfied asks to marry your daughter, comply with his request. If you do not do so, there will be corruption and great evil on earth.” Continue reading Chapter Seven: The Conversations
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
“When Allah gathers the creation on the Day of Judgement, a caller will proclaim, ‘Where are Ahl-ul- Fadl?’ (The people of God’s favor). So some people will stand up and they will be few. They will go toward Paradise quickly. So the Angels will meet them and say, ‘We see you going toward Paradise quickly, so who are you?’ So they will say: ‘We are Ahl-ul-Fadl.’ So the Angels will ask about what made them favored over others and they will respond by saying: “If we were oppressed we would be patient, and if we were treated badly we would forgive, and if we were treated ignorantly we expressed forbearance (hilm).’ So it would be said to them, ‘Enter Paradise and how wonderful is the reward of the (good) doers.’”
