AL-BAQARAH (The Cow) - 10

 “And give good tidings to those, who believe and do what is virtuous, that for them there are gardens beneath which rivers flow…” (2:25) 

 

In giving these good tidings to those who believe, the Holy Qur'an adds another condition - that of good deeds, for without good deeds, one cannot deserve such good tidings on the merit of ‘Iman’ (faith) alone. Iman itself can, no doubt, save a man from being consigned to the fires of hell for ever, and every Muslim, even if he is a great sinner, will finally be taken out of hell, once he has undergone a period of punishment. But even a person with Iman can altogether escape the fires of hell unless he has been doing good deeds defined by the Shariah.

  Seek forgiveness from all your acquaintances   The next question is, who to seek forgiveness from? Who remembers how many people’s  Gheebat  we committed throughout our lives when we were completely neglectful about it? Should we draw up a list of all of them and ask all of them for forgiveness? Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say that Paradise is not cheap. If you really want to go to Paradise then you will have to make some effort for it. Draw up a list of all your acquaintances, all your friends, all your relatives, and then seek forgiveness from all of them.
