The shade of the Arsh

Narrated Abu Huraira (ra): The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "Allah will give shade to seven, on the Day when there would be no shade but His. (These seven persons are)

  • A just ruler,
  • A youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah Alone sincerely from his childhood),
  • A man whose heart is attached to the mosques [i.e. who offers the five compulsory congregational Salat (prayers) in the mosques],
  • Two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's Cause only,
  • 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,
  • A man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity), and
  • A person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes become flooded with tears."
