also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
Ayat 22. Set not up with Allâh any other ilâh
(god), (O man)! (This verse is addressed to Prophet Muhammad 
[SAWW](PBUH), but its implication is general to all mankind), or you will sit
down reproved, forsaken (in the
Hell-fire).
Hazrat Abu Hurairah
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "A group of people (both men and women) whose hearts will be
like the hearts of birds, will enter Jannah".
[Muslim Book 40, Chapter 11, Hadith #
6808].
It has been
interpreted that such people are those who put their trust in Allah; another
interpretation is that these people are tender-hearted.
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 21 "See how We prefer one
above another (in this world) and verily, the Hereafter will be greater in
degrees and greater in preference" Excellence of trust in Allah and kindness of heart are most valuable
qualities because both of them are means to enter Jannah. One should not worry much about one's food and means of
subsistence. In fact, people should have the heart like birds who do not collect
to keep in reserve anything and go out every morning in search of food and
return to their nests fully satiated. This advice is repeated in another Hadith
to the effect that when birds leave their nests in the morning they are hungry
but when they come back, their stomachs are full and they do not need any more
food.
