How to get VIP service on the Day of Judgement

Assalamu ‘alaykum wa rahmat Allahi wa barakatuh 

The Day of Judgment will be a scene of unparalleled chaos and fear. The sky will split open, and the mountains will crumble into dust as the earth shakes violently. Every soul, from the most pious to the most sinful, will be engulfed in terror, their hearts gripped by the sheer dread of divine retribution. People will be drenched in their sweat, the sun so close that its scorching heat intensifies their fear.

Amidst this universal panic, a group will stand unshaken. Allah will shade them in the shade of His Throne, besides which there will be no shade, engulfing them in His mercy. He will establish a chair for them and seat them in it until He completes the reckoning. They will be upon lofty platforms radiating with light, facing the Most Merciful, seated upon raised platforms made of pearls. Their chambers in Paradise will be made of green peridot, upon towering structures of sapphire. Even the elite, the prophets and martyrs, will envy them.

Who exactly are these people? 

On the Day of Judgment, Allah will say, “Where are those who loved one another for My sake? On this day, I will cover them with My shade.” [Musnad Ahmed, Sahih Muslim]

The remarkable group of people who will receive such divine favour are those who exemplify the true essence of companionship and brotherhood for the sake of Allah. Their love, support, and sacrifice for one another, purely for the pleasure of Allah, will earn them this unparalleled honour. But how can we, in our daily lives, cultivate such profound relationships?

Imam Sha’rani’s transformative book 'Code of Companionship’ delves into the principles and practices that define these extraordinary bonds. Drawing from insights from the Noble Qur’an, the Prophetic Sunnah, and the timeless wisdom of esteemed Islamic scholars, it offers a comprehensive guide to developing meaningful, sincere, and lasting relationships.

Divided into four compelling sections, discover the essence of:

1. Embracing companionship for the sake of Allāh,

2. Navigating the intricacies of true companionship rights,

3. Adhering to the noble etiquette of the righteous, and

4. Imbibing the beauty of Allāh’s remembrance (adhkar).

As we internalise these teachings and embody them in our actions, we can radiate this mercy to others, thereby contributing to the restoration of humanity’s innate dignity and compassion in the world.

Imagine being among those who stand unshaken on the Day of Judgment, shaded by Allah's mercy, simply because you cherished and nurtured your relationships for His sake.

May Allah bless us with the companionship of the righteous in this world and the next.

Wassalam
