Bankrupt

Abu Hurayra (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) once asked his companions: “Do you know who is the bankrupt one?”

The companions replied: “A bankrupt person amongst us is not the one who neither has a dirham nor any possessions.”

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said: “Ra...ther, the bankrupt person from my Ummah is the one who will come on the Day of Resurrection with a good record of Salah (Prayers), Sawm (Fasts) and Zakah (Obligatory Charity); but he would have offended a person, slandered another, unlawfully consumed the wealth of another person, murdered someone and hit someone. Each one of these people would be given some of the wrong-doer’s good deeds. If his good deeds fall short of settling the account, then their sins will be taken from their account and entered into the wrong-doer’s account and he would be thrown in the Hell Fire. {Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith Number 6251}

There is a very important message for all of us in this hadeeth. Neither should we hurt, insult, and/or curse a person nor should we spread false words to damage someone’s reputation, Also, we must never unjustly consume the wealth of a person and must never indulge in any violent act with our brethren for we can see from the above hadeeth that these actions could render us bankrupt regardless of how punctual we might have been with our obligatory duties enjoined upon us by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala. Hence we should be extremely careful with our words and actions as we will be held responsible for every deed on the Day of Judgment. On that day nobody would come for anybody’s rescue.

It is true that some people might get on our nerves, but instead of offending, cursing, slandering and/or beating, forgive them and teach them what is right in the most beautiful of ways. Be patient and polite with them. This way not only will you bring about a good change in the person who made you angry, but they will also realize their mistake and rectify it. Moreover your place in their hearts will also elevate, InshaAllah. We all know how our beloved Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) treated everyone, regardless of how rudely they behaved with him (Peace Be Upon Him).

"Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much. {Surat Al-'Aĥzāb, Verse 21}

May Allah, the Merciful make us not among the bankrupt ones on the Day of Judgment, Aameen!
