Bismillaah (In The Name Of Allaah)
Dear Reader,
Would you like to receive the mercy (rahmah) of Allaah? Are you trying to increase your good deeds and become a truly successful Muslim?
Would you like me to tell you of a deed that if you do it, you will get not less than 70,000 angels praying for you?
Every one of us is being tested by Allah. He tests us all in different ways. We should not assume that the difficulties that we face in life are punishments or are signs that Allah is displeased with us. Likewise, we should never construe the success and pleasures that others enjoy as signs that Allah is pleased with them or that they are privileged. Sometimes, quite the opposite is true.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If Allah wants good for his servant, He hurries on His punishment in this world, and if He wills ill for a servant, he holds back punishing him for his sin so He can give it to him in full on the Day of Resurrection."
Allah makes it clear that everything in our lives – the good and the bad of it– is a trial for us. How will we cope in the situation that Allah has placed for us? Will we be grateful in prosperity and patient in affliction or will we be arrogant and disobedient?
Many people do not realize that they are tried just as severely with the good that they are given as they are by the misfortunes that befall them. Allah says: "And as for man, whenever his Lord tries him by honoring him and makes him lead an easy life, he says: 'My Lord honors me'. But when He tries him by straitening his means of subsistence, he says: 'My Lord has disgraced me'." [Quran Sûrah al-Fajr: 15-16]
Some people are blessed to be born and raised in good Muslim families then turn their backs on Islam, while others are born and raised in non-Muslim countries to unbelieving parents and grow up to be among the best of Muslims.
We are tried with wealth as well as poverty. If we are wealthy, will we hoard our wealth or spend in charity? Will we use it for lawful purposes or squander it in vice? Will we trust in Allah in our investments, or will our avarice and fear of losing our wealth make us take recourse to unlawful means to preserve it and increase it?
If we are poor, will we be content and patient and seek lawful means to attain our sustenance or will we resort to unlawful means to meet our needs? Will we accept the fact that Allah gives more to some people than he does to others, or will we grow hateful and vindictive?
We are tested with health as well as sickness. A man with good eyesight is tested with regards to his use of it. Will he use the blessing of his sight to good purpose or to gaze at unlawful things? His good eyesight may be what takes him to Hell. A blind man is tested whether he will bear patiently with his disability. His patience in affliction may be what earns him his place in Paradise. Our goal is the Hereafter and we are all being tested.
Allah says: "It is He who created death and life that He may try you as to which of you is best in deeds." [Quran Sûrah al-Mulk: 2]
We may also be tested through others illnesses. Are we giving them their rights as to visiting and caring for them? Do we take care to find out about who is sick and with what? Sick people need help, care, love and lots of household aid. How many times have you been ill and found you were not able to do everything you normally accomplish? Now, imagine the life of one who is always ill and in a state worse then this.
Every Muslim has five rights over another Muslim (i.e., he has to perform five duties for another Muslim): to return the greetings, to visit the sick, to accompany funeral processions, to accept an invitation, to respond to the sneezer [i.e., to say: "may Allah bestow His Mercy on you," when the sneezer thanks Allah].
In Islam, there is a Gigantic reward for visiting the sick:
When a Muslim visits a sick Muslim at dawn, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till dusk. If he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till the morning; and he will have (his share of) reaped fruits in Heaven.
Please forward this post to your relatives & friends and may Allah (SWT) reward you.

When a Muslim visits a sick Muslim at dawn, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till dusk. If he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels keep on praying for him till the morning; and he will have (his share of) reaped fruits in Heaven.
Narrated by Al-Imam Ahmad and Muslim from Thawbaan from the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) who said: "When the Muslim visits his sick brother he never ceases to be in a garden of paradise until he returns. It was said: what is its garden, he said: its fruits". In the Hadith Qudsi Allah will say on the Day of Judgment: "O son of Adam I was sick and you did not visit Me. He will say: O Lord how can I visit You. You are the Lord of the worlds? He says: Did you not know that My servant so and so was sick yet you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him you would have found Me with him?" (Muslim).
Repentance Necessary For Denying Others Their Due Rights:
Scholars said: It is necessary to repent from every sin. If the offense involves the Right of Allah, not a human, then there are three condition to be met in order that repentance be accepted by Allah:
1- To desist from committing it.
2- To feel sorry for committing it.
3- To decide not to recommit it.
Any repentance failing to meet any of these three conditions, would not be sound.
But if the sin involves a human's right, it requires a fourth condition, i.e., to absolve onself from such right. If it is a property, he should return it to its rightful owner. If it is slandering or backbiting, one should ask the pardon of the offended.
One should also repent from all sins. If he repents from some, his repentance would still be sound according to the people of sound knowledge. He should, however, repent from the rest. Scriptural proofs from the Book and the Sunnah and the consensus of the scholars support the incumbency of repentance.
Allah, the, Exalted says:
"And all of you beg Allah to forgive you, O believers, that you may be successful". (Quran 24:31)
"Seek the forgiveness of your Rubb, and turn to Him in repentance". (Quran 11:3)
"O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance!". (Quran 66:8)
1- To desist from committing it.
2- To feel sorry for committing it.
3- To decide not to recommit it.
Any repentance failing to meet any of these three conditions, would not be sound.
But if the sin involves a human's right, it requires a fourth condition, i.e., to absolve onself from such right. If it is a property, he should return it to its rightful owner. If it is slandering or backbiting, one should ask the pardon of the offended.

"Seek the forgiveness of your Rubb, and turn to Him in repentance". (Quran 11:3)
"O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance!". (Quran 66:8)
Give the ill their due. Visit them, help them with their households endeavors and apologize to them for the neglect. Do not let the Sunnah of visiting the sick die out.
