Allah's cause: let them forgive and overlook: do you not wish that Allah should forgive you?
For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 2974
2974 The immediate reference was to Hadhrat Abu Bakr, the father of Hadhrat 'Aisha. He was blessed both with spiritual
grace from Allah and with ample means, which he always used in the service of Islam and of Muslims. One of the
slanderers of Hadhrat 'Aisha turned out to be Mistah, a cousin of Hadhrat Abu Bakr, whom he had been in the habit of
supporting. Naturally Hadhrat Abu Bakr wished to stop that aid, but according to the highest standards of Muslim
ethics he was asked to forgive and forget, which he did, with the happiest results to the peace and unity of the Muslim
community. But the general application holds good for all time. A generous patron should not, in personal anger,
withdraw his support even for serious faults if the delinquent repents and mends his ways. If Allah forgives us, who
are we to refuse forgiveness to our fellows? (24.22)
42:23 - That is (the Bounty) whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to His Servants who believe and do
righteous deeds. Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin."
And if anyone earns any good We shall give Him an increase of good in respect thereof: for
Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Ready to appreciate (service). 455945604561
4560 No sort of tangible reward does the prophet of Allah ask for proclaiming the Glad Tidings of Allah. But at least he has
the right to ask that his kith and kin should not persecute him and put all sorts of obstacles in his way, as did the
Quraish against the holy Prophet. (42.23)
4561 Cf. xxxv. 29-30, and notes 3915 (for increase) and 3917 (for Allah's appreciation of service). (42.23)
58:22 - Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who resist
Allah and His Apostle even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or
their kindred.
5363 If any one believes in Allah and His goodness and justice, and in the Hereafter, in which all true values will be restored
he will never love evil or wrong-doing or rebellion against Allah, even if these things are found in his nearest kith and
kin. (58.22)
Fiqh-us-Sunnah
Fiqh 4.95
The Abode of Souls
….Others remain confined to earth, for these souls cannot rise to heaven. Indeed, these are base,
earthly souls which do not mix with the heavenly souls, just as they do not mix with them during their
sojourn on earth. A soul that is oblivious to its Lord, blind to His love, negligent of His remembrance,
and remiss in seeking His pleasure is a despicable earthly soul. After separation from its body, it cannot go
anywhere, but remains here. On the other hand, the heavenly soul in this life clings to the love of Allah and to His
remembrance, and seeks His pleasure and nearness. After separation from its body, it will join other kindred heavenly souls.
In the barzakh (Literally an interval, a separation or a partition, Al-barzakh may be defined as the intervening state between
death and the Last Day) and on the Day of Resurrection a person will be with those he loved. Allah will join some souls with
others in the abode of barzakh and on the Day of Resurrection, placing the believer's soul with other pure souls, that is, other
pure souls kindred to his soul. A soul, after separation from the body, joins other kindred souls who in their nature and deeds
are similar to it and stays with them.
Some souls would be thrown in an oven or a pit along with other fornicators and harlots. Other souls would be in a river of
blood, floating therein and swallowing rocks.The two categories of souls - the blessed and the damned - do not share a
similar abode, for there are souls that reside in the highest reaches of heavens, while the others, low and mean earthly souls,
cannot rise above the earth.
