Adi ibn Hatim reported: I was in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when two men came, one complaining of poverty and the other complaining of robbery on the highways. The Messenger of Allah said, “As for the obstruction of the roads, it will not be long until a caravan will travel to Mecca without any guard. As for poverty, the Hour will not be established until one of you goes out looking to give charity but will find no one to accept it. Each one of you will stand in front of Allah without a barrier or interpreter between him and Allah. Allah will ask: Did I not give you wealth? He will say yes. Allah will ask: Did I not send you a messenger? He will say yes. Then he will look to his right and see nothing but Hellfire, and he will look to his left and see nothing but Hellfire. Therefore, any one of you should save himself from the Hellfire by giving even a half of a date in charity, and if you do not have it then say a kind word.” Source: Sahih Bukhari 1347 THREE LEVELS OF TAQWA 1. Protecting the heart and limbs from sins and all forbidden matters. 2. Protecting the heart and limbs from all dilsliked matters [Makrooh] 3. Protecting oneself from the fudool (curiosity) and what does not concern him. * The first gives the servant his life, * The second gives him health and strength ] * And the third enables him to gain happiness, contentment and light. [Ibn al-Qayyim Rahmarullah; Al Fawaa-id]
