"Whoever guarantees me (the chastity of) what is between his legs ( i.e. his private parts), and what is between his jaws ( i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him Paradise."
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
(May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Regarding
following hadith:
The
Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whoever guarantees me (the chastity of) what is
between his legs ( i.e. his private parts), and what is between his jaws (
i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.799 Narrated by Sahl bin Sad
According to above hadith, only for some of those there is guarantee. I know
that "no ummah will enter jannah until ummate-Mohammad" (exact hadith
do not remember). So there is an unconditional gaurantee for ultimate
destination as jannah for every Muslim. If some one is following above hadith
but involving in Interest business, then what will be for that.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling
errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from

Answer:
Every muslim to
paradise
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness
that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Respected brother in Islam, the Realms of Paradise is the
prerogative of Allah Subhanah Alone; and the two absolutely inseparable
pre-conditions the Lord Most High Most Wise has conveyed in His Message for
one’s entry into the
- Belief,
and
- Righteous
good deeds in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah.
Your Question:
regarding following hadith:
The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whoever guarantees me (the chastity of) what is
between his legs ( i.e. his private parts),
and what is between his jaws ( i.e., his tongue), I guarantee him
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.799 Narrated by Sahl bin Sad
According to above hadith, only for some of those there is guarantee.
Respected brother,
although the hadith you have quoted above is considered absolutely authentic,
one must realize that whenever the Messenger of Allah (saws) declared the doer
of such and such a deed will go to Paradise….it is implied that the person is a
believer and has (at least) fulfilled all the obligatory duties laid upon him
in the Quran and the Sunnah…..for belief and good deeds are the two absolute
and inseparable pre-conditions for one to enter Paradise.
The above hadith whereby the Messenger of Allah (saws)
declared that
Your
Question: I know that "no ummah will enter jannah until ummate-Mohammad"
(exact
hadith do not remember).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 62:
62 Those who believe (in the Quran) and those who follow the Jewish
(Scriptures) and the Christians and the Sabians and who believe in Allah and
the Last Day and work righteousness shall have their reward with their Lord; on
them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter Surah 5
Maidah verse 69:
69 Those who believe (in the Quran) those who follow the Jewish
(Scriptures) and the Sabians and the Christians; any who believe in Allah and
the Last Day and work righteousness on them shall be no fear nor shall they
grieve.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verses 111-112:
111 And they say: "None shall enter paradise unless he be a Jew or
a Christian." Those are their
(vain) desires! Say: "Produce your
proof if ye are truthful."
112 Nay! Whoever submits his whole self to Allah and is a doer of good
he will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear nor shall they
grieve.
Respected brother, in light of the above absolutely clear
guidance of the Glorious Quran, it is evident that not all of the inhabitants
of
A more factual statement would be that after the advent of
Prophet Mohamed (saws), no other people or ‘ummah’ will enter Paradise unless
those who believed and unconditionally submitted themselves to the Message
brought by Prophet Mohamed (saws) and did deeds in accordance with Message.
For all the people or ‘ummahs’ that came before the advent
of the Last and Final Messenger (saws), if indeed they believed in their
appointed Prophets and did good righteous deeds according to the Scriptures
revealed by their Lord unto their Prophets….they shall definitely have their
promised rewards from their Lord All-Just.
Your
Question: So there is an unconditional gaurantee for ultimate destination as
jannah for every Muslim.
Every person who is born of ‘muslim’ parents, or every
person who declares the ‘shahaadah’ or testimony of faith will be regarded as a
‘legal muslim’ in the Sight of Shariah Law and the believers in the life of
this world….and every single right that is due to a believer will be accorded
to them in full.
It is only on the Day of Judgment when Allah Subhanah will
Decide with Absolute Knowledge, and Truth, and Justice who amongst those who
declared themselves as ‘muslims’ in the world are ‘real’ muslims.
Thus brother it is not as if every person who declares
himself to be a ‘muslim’ in the life of this world, or names himself an
Abdullah, or Mohamed, or Ayyub, or Jaafar, etc. has an unconditional guarantee
to enter Paradise!
It is the Lord Most Majestic Most Supreme Alone, Who will
Decide and Determine on the Day of Judgment who amongst those who called
themselves ‘muslims’ were ‘real muslims’…..and it is only those fortunate
believers who are declared as ‘real’ muslims by the Lord Most Merciful who will
find themselves in the Mercy of their Lord Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 29 Surah
Ankabut verses 10-11:
10 Then there are among men such as say "We believe in
Allah"; but when they suffer affliction in (the Cause of) Allah they treat
men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of Allah! And if help comes (to thee)
from thy Lord they are sure to say "We have (always) been with
you!" Does not Allah know best all
that is in the hearts of all creation?
11 And Allah most certainly knows those who believe, and as certainly
those who are hypocrites!
Hadith Qudsi
6
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘The
first of people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of
Resurrection will be a man who died a martyr (in the Cause of Allah). He will be brought and Allah will make known
to him His favors and he will recognize them.
Allah, The Exalted, will say: ‘And what did you do about them?’ He will say: ‘I fought for You until I died a
martyr (in Your Cause). Allah Subhanah
will Say: ‘You have lied - you did but fight that it might be said [of you]: He
is courageous. And so it was said.’ Then he will be ordered to be dragged along
on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire.
[Another] will be a man who has studied [religious] knowledge and has
taught it and who used to recite the Quran.
He will be brought and Allah will make known to his His favors and he
will recognize them. [The Almighty] will
Say: ‘And what did you do about them?’
He will say: ‘I studied [religious] knowledge and I taught it and I
recited the Quran for Your sake.’ Allah
Subhanah will Say: ‘You have lied - you did but study [religious] knowledge
that it might be said [of you]: He is learned.
And you recited the Quran that it might be said [of you]: He is a
recitor. And so it was said.’ Then he will be ordered to be dragged along
on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire.
[Another] will be a man whom Allah had made rich and to whom He had
given all kinds of wealth. He will be brought
and Allah will make known to his His favors and he will recognize them. [The Almighty] will Say: ‘And what did you do
about them?’ He will say: ‘I left no
path [untrodden] in which You like money to be spent without spending in it for
Your sake.’ Allah Subhanah will say: ‘You
have lied - you did but do so that it might be said [of you]: He is
open-handed. And so it was said.’ Then he will be ordered to be dragged along
on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire.’
Sahih Muslim
Hadith 6251 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's
Messenger (saws) said: ‘Do you know who is a ‘muflis’ (abjectly poor or one who
is totally bankrupt)?’ They (the Companions (r.a.) of the Prophet (saws)) said:
‘A ‘muflis’ amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth.’ He
(the Prophet (saws)) said: ‘The ‘muflis’ of my Ummah would be he who would come
on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakah but (he would find
himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues)
since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others, unlawfully
consumed the wealth of others, shed the blood of others, and beat others. His
virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And
if his good deeds fall short to clear the account (of his mis-deeds), then
their sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown in the
Hell-Fire!’
Respected brother, in light of the above absolutely clear
guidance of Allah and His Messenger (saws) it is evident that not every one who
considered himself to be a ‘muslim’ in the life of this world will enter
Paradise…..but rather only those whom The Lord Most Gracious Determines to be
true ‘muslims’ on that Inevitable and Tumultuous Day of Judgment will be shown
the Mercy of their Lord Most Merciful.
Your
Question: If some one is following above hadith but involving in Interest
business, then what will be for that.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiyaa verse 47:
47 We shall set up Scales of Justice for the Day of Judgment so that
not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least. And if there be (no more than) the weight of
a mustard seed (good or evil), We will bring it (to account): and enough are We
to take account.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verse 160:
160 He that doeth good shall have ten times as much to his credit: he
that doeth evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil. No wrong shall be done unto (any of) them.
In light of the above quoted absolutely clear guidance of
the Glorious Quran, Allah Subhanah will set up the ‘Scales of Justice’ on the
Day of Judgment and the deed (good and evil) of each person will be assigned a
specific weight by Allah Subhanah.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 101 Surah
Al-Qariah verses 6-11:
6 Then he whose balance (of good deeds)
will be (found) heavy
7 Will be in a life of good pleasure and
satisfaction.
8 But he whose balance (of good deeds) will
be (found) light
9 Will have his home in a (bottomless) pit.
10 And what will explain to thee what this
is?
11 (It is) a Fire, Blazing fiercely!
Thus if there is one who preserved his chastity and the
sanctity of his tongue, but indulged himself in the unlawful (like riba, or
alcohol, or gambling, or zina, etc.)…..the Lord Most Just Will place the
weights assigned to each of his good and his evil deeds on the Scales of
Justice. If the weight of the good deeds
of the believer are found heavier, he will be taken into the Mercy of the Lord
Most Merciful; and if the weight of evil deeds are found heavier, he will face
the Wrath and Anger of the Lord Most Majestic, Most Supreme.
In our humble opinion brother, the sooner one who claims
himself to be a ‘muslim’ gets out of his security zone which he has built for
himself and assumes that just because he has chosen to call himself a ‘muslim’,
he is guaranteed
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
