قَالَ الله تَعَالَى عَنْ وَرَثَةِ الفِرْدَوسْ:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَـٰعِلُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ
سُؤَالٌ لِي وَلَكُمْ – مَا مَعْنَى وَارِثْ؟ مَنْ هُوَ الْوَارِثْ؟
الوَرِيثُ يَمْلِكُ الشَّيْءَ. لاَ شَكَّ فِي حَقِّهِ فِي الشَّيْء.
فِي هَذِهِ الآيَاتِ الكَرِيمَةْ، وَصَفَ اللهُ صِفَاتَ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ الفِرْدَوسْ – مِنَ المُهِمِّ بِالنِّسْبَةِ لَنَا التَّرْكِيزُ عَلىَ الآيَاتِ وَالبَحْثَ فِي قُلُوبِنَا، فِي حَيَاتِنَا، فِي أَخْلَاقِنَا، فِي ثَقَافَتِنَا وَنَسْأَلْ. هَلْ فِينَا أَيٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصِّفَاتْ؟ واستغفر والرجوع إِلَى الله بِالتَّوبَةِ الصَّادِقَةِ قَبَلَ اليَوْمِ الذِي نَقِفُ أَمَامَ اللهِ لِلْحِسَابْ.
تحريم ط:٦٦ :٨ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُكَفِّرَ عَنكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَىٰ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَآ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ – اللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ
إِخْوَانِي وَأَخَوَاتِي الأَعِزَّاءْ، أُذَكِّرُكُمْ وَنَفْسِي أَنَّ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيا مَكَانُ جِهَادٍ. نَحْنُ نَحْصُلُ فَقَطْ عَلَى مَا نَعْمَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِهْ.
قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ العَزِيزْ:
النجم ٥٣: ٣٩ -٤٠ وَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ
وَأَنَّ سَعْيَهُۥ سَوْفَ يُرَىٰ
كَمَا قُلْتُ مِن قَبلْ، أَعْلَنَ الله تَعَالَى:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ صِفَاتَ المُؤْمِنِينَ النَّاجِحِينْ.
فِي هَذَا ذَكَرَ اللهُ عِبَادَةً وَاحِدَةً مَعَ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ مُهِمَّةٍ مِنَ الأَخْلَاقْ. قَالَ الله تَعَالَى:
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَاتِهِمْ خَـٰشِعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ ٱللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ
وَأَهَمُّهَا الخُشُوعُ فِي الصَّلاةْ، وَاجْتِنَابُ كُلِّ مَعْصِيَةٍ وَمَا لَا فَائِدَةَ مِنْهْ. مِنَ المُهِمِّ أَنْ نَسْأَلَ أَنْفُسَنَا الآنَ كَيْفَ هُوَ حَالُنَا مَعَ صَلَاتِنَا؟ وَمَا مشغوليتنا فِي وَقْتِ الفَرَاغْ؟
الغَرَضُ مِنْ نُزُولِ القُرَآنِ أَنْ نُفَكِّرَ فِيهِ وَأَنْ نَتَدَبَّرَ أُمُورَهُ وَ أَنْ نَعْمَلَ بِأَحْكَامِهْ.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الله:
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَوٰةِ فَـٰعِلُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَـٰفِظُونَ
العِبَادَةُ مَعَ الأَخْلَاقْ.
الإِسْلَامُ هُوَ دِينُ العَمَلْ. لَيْسَ اسْمُ الأَيْدْيُولُوجِيَا أَوْ اسْمُ خَيَالٍ اوْ فَلْسَفَةٍ وَهَكَذَا.
الأَجْرُ فِي الإِسْلَامِ لِلْعَمَلِ لَا لِلْعِلْمِ فَقَطْ.
نَحْصُلُ عَلَى أَجْرِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ انْتِهَاءِ الصَّلَاةْ، لَيْسَ فَقَطْ لِمَعْرِفَةِ الصَّلَاةْ، نَفْسُ الشَّيءِ مَعَ كُلِّ الأُمُورِ فِي الإِسْلَامْ، الْأَجْرُ بَعْدَ الْعَمَلْ. وَهَذَا يُوضِحُ أَهَمِّيَةَ الْعَمَلِ فِي الإِسْلَامْ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الله:
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَـٰنَـٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَٰعُونَ
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَوَٰتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
ذَكَرَ اللهُ سِتَّةَ أَشْيَاءَ لِيَكُونَ الإِنْسَانُ مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ الفِرْدَوسْ. الخُشُوعُ فِي الصَّلَاةْ، عَدَمُ ضَيَاعِ الوَقْتْ، وَإِعْطَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةْ، وَالحِفَاظِ عَلَى العِفَّة، والوَفَاءِ بِالأَمَانَةِ وَالوُعُودْ، وَالعُقُودِ وَالمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى الصَّلاَةْ.
انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا بِالْمَعْنَى الدُّنْيَوِيّْ.. مَا قَوْلُكَ عَنِ الإنْسَانِ المُخْلِصِ لِله، الذِي لَا يُضَيِّعُ الوَقْتْ، وَيَتَصَدَّقْ، وَمُخْلِصٌ لِزَوْجَتِهْ، وَ يَصْدُقَ الوَعْدَ وَ كَذَلِكَ المَرْأَةُ المُخْلِصَةُ لِزَوْجِهَا هَلْ سَتَكُونُ صَلَاتُهُ أَوْ صَلَاتُهَا مَقْبُولَةْ؟
هَذَا هُوَ جَمَالُ الِاسْلَامْ، يَجْعُلَكَ فَائِزاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةْ.
دَعَا اللهُ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّاسَ بِوَرَثَةِ الفِرْدَوسْ. الَّلهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ. قَالَ اللهُ فِي آخِرِ هَذَا المَوْضُوعْ:
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثُونَ
ٱلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ
أُذَكِّرُ نَفْسِي وَأَنْتَ بِمَعْنَى الوَارِثْ؟ مَنْ هُوَ الوَارِثْ؟
الوَرِيثُ مَنْ يَمْلِكُ الشَّيءْ. لَا شَك في حقه في الشيء.
هَلْ نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَكُونَ مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ الفِرْدَوسْ؟ وَأَنْ نَكُونَ فِي أَعْلَى رُتْبَةٍ فِي الجَنَّةْ؟
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الآنَ نَحْنُ نَعْرِفُ مَاذَا نَفْعَلْ.
أَسْأَلُ اللهَ أَنْ يسير علينا وَ يُوَفِقَنَا لِلِاسْتِقَامَةِ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ المُسْتَقِيمْ.
The Inheritors
Allah Almighty said about the heirs of Al Firdous (the highest level in Paradise):
Successful indeed are the believers. (1) Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. (2) And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has forbidden). (3) And those who pay the Zakat. (4) And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) (5) Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which Allah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts) and to their covenants; (6) And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawat (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours). These are indeed the inheritors. Who shall inherit the Firdaus (highest level in Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever.
A question for you and me – what is the meaning of ‘heir’? Who is an heir? The heir owns the thing he inherits. There is no doubt about his right over the thing. In these verses Allah the Almighty described the attributes of the heirs of Paradise – it is important for us to focus on the verses and search, in our hearts, in our lives, in our morals, in our culture and ask. Do we have any of these qualities? Ask forgiveness and return to Allah the Almighty with sincere repentance before the day we call Him before Him.
O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your sins and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) the Day that Allah will not disgrace the Prophet (Muhammad SAW) and those who believe with him, their Light will run forward before them and with (their Records Books of deeds) in their right hands they will say: “Our Lord! Keep perfect our Light for us [and do not put it off till we cross over the Sirat (a slippery bridge over Hell) safely] and grant us forgiveness. Verily, You are Able to do all things.” [At-Tahrim 66:8]
May Allah the Almighty make us among them.
Dear brothers and sisters, I remind you and myself that this world is a place of effort. We only get what we work for. Allah Almighty said in His book:
And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad). And that his deeds will be seen. [An-Najm 53: 39-40]
As I said before, Allah the Almighty declared:
Successful indeed are the believers. (1) 23:1
Then he mentioned the qualities of successful believers. In this Allah the Almighty mentioned one act of worship with one important action of behavior/morality. Allah the Almighty said: Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has forbidden). [Muminoon 23: 2-3]
The most important of these is reverence in prayer and avoiding all sin and useless waste of time. It is important for us to ask now how the condition and quality of our prayer is and how we spend our free time?
The purpose of the revelation of the Qur’an is to think about it, reflect on its orders and implement its rulings in our lives. Allah the Almighty said:
And those who pay the Zakat. And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) [Muminoon 23: 4-5]
Worship with morality. Islam is the Deen (religion) of action. It is not the name of simply an ideology or the name of fiction or philosophy and so on. The reward in Islam is for action, not just for knowing. We get the reward for prayer after the prayer is over. Not only to know about prayer. The same with all things in Islam. Wages after work. That’s why work matters.
And then Allah the Almighty said:
Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all the duties which Allah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts etc.) and to their covenants; And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawat (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours). [Muminoon 23: 8-9]
Allah the Almighty mentioned six things that make you an heir to Jannatul Firdous (highest level in Paradise) Reverence in prayer, not wasting time time, giving zakat and charity, maintain chastity, fulfilling trusts and promises, and guarding the boundaries of prayer.
Look at this in a worldly sense. What do you say about a man who is faithful to Allah the Almighty, does not waste time, gives charity, is faithful to his wife and a woman is faithful to her husband, is true to his promises, and guards his prayer i.e., prays regularly on time? This is the beauty of Islam. It makes you a winner in this world and the hereafter.
Allah the Almighty called these people heirs of Paradise. May Allah the Almighty make us among them. Lastly Allah the Almighty said:
These are indeed the inheritors. (10) Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever. [Muminoon 23: 10-11]
I remind myself and you What is the meaning of heir? Who is an heir? The heir owns the thing he inherits. There is no doubt about his right over the thing.
Do we want to be the heirs of Firdous, the highest rank in Paradise? Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Now we know what to do. I ask Allah to make it easy for us and help us to be upright on the straight path.
