What things can we do to save ourselves completely from the Fire of Hell? Any information at all....please mention it here in this thread.
Jazakallah khair.
For a start, I think we can try to affirm our faith in Allah swt through reasoning and deep contemplation. Once that is done then we can start the journey of self-evaluation and self-critique so that we may obtain the highest standards of morality and closeness to Allah swt. Then we can start restraining our tongues as actions done/words spoken by our tongues will take us to the Crusher or protect us from entering it.
I heard once that a drop of tear shed out of fear of Hell (or was it fear of Allah, can't remember exactly).........well, just one tear drop is enough to extinguish fires of Hell.
Is that true? Does anyone know if this is mentioned in an authentic hadith or something?
Every day make Dua to Allah Ta'ala asking Him for Refuge from the Fire of Jahanam thrice.
Also, when you are in the Path of Allah Ta'ala, i.e. Itikaf, Hajj, Umrah, etc. etc. for every single particle of dust which touches the body, that part of the body cannot be touched by the Fire of Hell. That is why Sahabas used to dismount their horses in the path of Allah ta'ala and try to get covered by dust etc. in the wind.
Also, from another Authentic Hadith it is stated that whoever has the Holy Prophet Muhamad Sallahu Alayhi Wasalam in them then the Fire of Jahanam is made Haram for them and Paradise Fardh.
The Messenger of Allah :saw: said, "There are two [types of] eyes which the Fire will never touch: an eye which weeped out of fear (khashyah) of Allah; and an eye which spent a night in the path of Allah, guarding [the Muslims]."
(Sunan al-Tirmidhi)
The hadith is hasan ghareeb - good scarce.
What does that mean? The words I've put in blue, I mean.
Makes me ask one question regarding this. Is one tear enough or many tears are needed?
The way I understand it, shedding tears out of fear of Allah isn't exactly an easy thing to do. So would even one tear suffice if we manage it?
salam. just curious, please explain what you mean by the bolded part? i always thought it was very easy for us muslims to cry due to fear of Allah and weep openly for our sins?
