The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
βThere are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade but Hisβ¦β
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 660 | Sahih Muslim, 1031)
Here are the 7 types of people:
1. A just ruler
One who rules with fairness and justice, fearing Allah in all matters.
2. A youth who grew up in the worship of Allah
Someone who dedicated their young years to prayer, Qurβan, and righteous deeds.
3. A person whose heart is attached to the masjid
Their soul longs for the mosque even when theyβre not in it.
4. Two people who love each other for the sake of Allah
They meet and part only for His sake, with no worldly attachment.
5. A man who is tempted by a woman of beauty and status but says, βI fear Allahβ
He chooses taqwa over desire, resisting even the strongest temptation.
6. One who gives in charity so secretly that his left hand doesnβt know what his right hand gave
Pure sincerity, free of showing off.
7. One who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes shed tears
Quiet dhikr that moves the heart deeply.
Will you be amongst them?
