The last blog was discussing a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2417. It warns that a person’s feet will not move on Judgment Day until they answer five questions.
The third and fourth questions people will be asked on Judgment Day are about their wealth specifically, how they earned it and how they spent it. Firstly, muslims must ensure that they only obtain lawful wealth and avoid doubtful or unlawful wealth. Unlawful wealth only leads to the rejection of all of one’s righteous deeds. This has been indicated in a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 2342. If one’s foundation is based on the unlawful then everything coming from it will be considered unlawful and therefore rejected by Allah, the Exalted. A muslim is free to obtain lawful wealth and spend it on lawful things such as fulfilling one’s necessities and the necessities of their dependents without waste, excessiveness or extravagance. Wealth can become a great blessing for a person in both worlds when it is obtained and spent correctly. But if it is not it will become a great regret for them in both worlds. It is why the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, warned in a Hadith found in Sahih Bukhari, number 6444, that the wealthy will be poor on the Day of Judgment except for those who spent in ways pleasing to Allah, the Exalted.
The final question will be about one’s body and how they used it. A muslim must therefore use every organ of their body such as their sight and hearing in the correct way as prescribed by Islam as this is true gratitude which will lead to further blessings. Chapter 14 Ibrahim, verse 7:
“And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favour]…”
In addition, they must use their physical strength in manners which are pleasing to Allah, the Exalted, before they reach a day when they lose it and are no longer able to perform righteous deeds. It is hoped that the one who uses their strength in the correct way will be supported by Allah, the Exalted, during their time of weakness.
Finally, a muslim must keep their physical and verbal harm away from the self and possessions of others as this is a sign of a true muslim and believer. This is confirmed in a Hadith found in Sunan An Nasai, number 4998.
