Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with
him) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) was asked about the deed which will be foremost to
lead a man to Jannah. He replied, "Fear of Allah and the good conduct.'' Then he
was asked about indulgence which will admit a man to Hell (Fire) and he
answered, "The tongue and the genitals.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2004].
Lesson
: as mentioned above in Surah Hud Ayat 88.
" And my guidance cannot come except from Allah, in Him I trust and
unto Him I repent." This is also a very comprehensive
Hadith. Fear of Allah really links up a man to Him, and moral refinement
prevents him from falling short of his duties to people. To be sure, adherence
to this two-fold practice will cause the entry of a lot of people to Jannah.
Many a man, on the other hand, has a long, sharp and dangerous tongue and this
causes him to pour out heretic utterances and indulge in backbiting, slandering
and abusive and nonsensical talk. All this activity leads to Hell. As for
genitals, an unwary and unrestrained attitude incites one to indulge in immoral
pursuits. In both these cases countless people will be led into Hell. For this
reason it is imperative for everybody to develop Taqwa (consciousness of Allah /
fear of Allah ) and refined behaviour and shun the wickedness of tongue and
genitals so that his life in the Hereafter may not be
ruined.
