Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues: A noteworthy issue is that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has declared a person’s most precious asset to be his religion. Likewise, he has also emphasized those deeds (especially the final deeds) with which a person will meet his Lord.
2. It is mentioned in the hadith: (إِنَّاللهَ إذا استودع شيئا حفظه) (al-Saheehah, Hadith: 2547) When something is entrusted to Allah, Allah the Exalted protects it.
