Two Categories of Musalleen
Dr. Tanveer Hussain Comments 0 Comment
Allah has mentioned two categories of Musalleen in the Quran. One category will be honoured in the Gardens of Bliss and the other will be ruined in hell.
Category 1: Who steadfastly follow the Divine Commandments and are mindful of the real spirit of SALAAT
الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَلٰي صَلَاتِهِمْ دَاۗىِٕمُوْنَ
Who always remain diligent and steadfast in their SALAAT [70:23]
وَالَّذِيْنَ فِيْٓ اَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُوْمٌ لِّلسَّاۗىِٕلِ وَالْمَحْرُوْمِ
And in whose wealth there is a recognized right for the beggar and the destitute [70/24-25]
وَالَّذِيْنَ يُصَدِّقُوْنَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ
And those who believe in the reality of the Day of Judgement and Recompense [70/26]
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِمْ مُّشْفِقُوْنَ
And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord [70/27]
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِفُرُوْجِهِمْ حٰفِظُوْنَ اِلَّا عَلٰٓي اَزْوَاجِهِمْ اَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ اَيْمَانُهُمْ
And those who preserve their chastity, except from their spouses i.e. those whom they rightfully possess [through wedlock] [70/29]
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ لِاَمٰنٰتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رٰعُوْنَ
And those who are faithful to their trusts and covenants [70/32]
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِشَهٰدٰتِهِمْ قَاۗىِٕمُوْنَ
And those who are firm and upright in their testimonies [70/33]
وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَلٰي صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُوْنَ
And those who are assiduously observant and mindful of their SALAAT [70/34]
This first category of Musalleen will be honoured in the Gardens of Bliss.
اُولٰۗىِٕكَ فِيْ جَنّٰتٍ مُّكْرَمُوْنَ
[70/35]
Category 2: Who just ostensibly perform the religious rituals and are heedless of the real spirit of SALAAT
الَّذِيْ يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِّيْنِ
Who denies and belies the day of Judgment and Recompense [107/1]
الَّذِيْ يَدُعُّ الْيَتِيْمَ
Who drives away the orphan (& those who are left alone in the society) [107/2]
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلٰي طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِيْنِ
And does not promote the cause of feeding the poor (i.e. does not strive to end the economic exploitation of the poor and the needy) [107/3]
الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُوْنَ
Who are heedless of (the spirit of) SALAAT [107/5]
الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ يُرَاۗءُوْنَ
Who are ostensive (in their rituals of worship) [107/6]
وَيَمْنَعُوْنَ الْمَاعُوْنَ
And who are uncharitable and withhold necessities of life from the needy [107/7]
This second category of Musalleen is ruined.
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّيْنَ
[107/4]
