“And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.” Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 48.
A Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6853, warns that one’s lineage will not benefit them on Judgement Day if they lack good deeds.
Allah, the Exalted, bestows mercy and ranks to people in the hereafter according to their righteous deeds. Chapter 6 Al An’am, verse 132:
“And for all are degrees [i.e., positions resulting] from what they have done…”
A muslim should therefore, not be fooled into believing their lineage will save them from Hell. If anything, a person who has a pious muslim in their lineage should strive harder in the obedience of Allah, the Exalted, so that they reach their level and live up to the name Allah, the Exalted, granted them. The Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was granted the highest station in both worlds yet, he still strived so hard in worship that his feet became swollen. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 7124.
In fact, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, made it clear in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 519, that only Allah, the Exalted, and righteous people are his friends and are close to him. He did not give superiority to lineage and neither should people.
