Five darknesses and Five lights

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim



In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful



Ibn Hajar (rahmahtullah alaih) has stated in his book, Munahbihat that there are, "five kinds of darknesses for which there are five specific lights.




1. The love of the world is a darkness, the light for it is piety

2. Sin is a darkness the light for which is tawbah

3. The grave is a darkness, the light for which is the Kalimah (la illah illallah)

4. The next life is a darkness, the light for which is good deeds

5. The bridge of the Arterlife (Pul Siraat) is a darkness, the light for which is faith.










The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa'sallam said:


"The Muslim is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind:

Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,

Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."

[Ahmad]

Assalamu alaikum sister
InshaAllah you and your family are doing well. MashaAllah tabarakAllah I am impressed you're still hard at work with your blog and it is still as wonderful as it has always been!

Ukhti there is a brother who is asking about Abu Ismael and I recall you mentioning that you are related in some way to him. I don't suppose you know how to get in contact with the brother?

Jazakillahu khairan anyway.
