* PROVISIONS FOR THE AAKHIRAH* Hazrat Hasan Basri رحمه الله said that four things are provisions for the Aakhirah - Salaat, Saum (fasting), Sadaqah & crying out of the fear of الله تعالى. SALAAT is the ultimate & most concise ibaadat. It is the best form of getting proximity to الله تعالى SAUM (FASTING) is more beneficial for the well being of the nafs than the well being of the body SADAQAH is a shield between the slave & الله تعالى s anger; ie it cools the anger of الله تعالى TEARS is the best form of gaining the pleasure of الله تعالى & gaining forgiveness for sins (even one tear is valuable) NOTE: Let us ensure that our Aakhirah is taken care of by using the correct mediums of acceptance. The intelligent ones are those who value things at the appropriate moment, thereby deriving full worth & benefit.
