who was killed in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and he will be asked, ‘Return your (Amanat) deposit.’ He will humbly say, ‘O my Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ! How can I return? The world no longer exists.’ Then angels will be asked to take him to Hāwiyah. They will take him towards Hāwiyah and his deposit will be brought in the form in which it existed that day when it was given to him. He will recognize it forthwith and will go after it (until he) gets it and lifts it on his shoulder. When he is sure that he has come out, it will fall down from his shoulder and he will go keep going after it for ever. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ then said, ‘Salah is an Amanat (entrustment); Wudu is too; weight and measure are also entrustment. He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ counted other things as well; the most important among them is Wadi’at [Amanat] (entrustment).

Sayyiduna Zāzān رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said that he went to Sayyiduna Bara’ Bin ‘Āzib رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and humbly said to him, ‘Do you not know that (Sayyiduna) ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) has said such and such.’ So he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said that (Sayyiduna) ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood (رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ) has said rightly; have you not heard that Allah Almighty عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said:

اِنَّ   اللہَ   یَاۡ مُـرُکُمۡ   اَنۡ   تُؤَ دُّ وا  الۡاَ  مٰنٰتِ   اِلٰۤی   اَہۡلِہَا ۙ

Indeed Allah commands you to hand over whatever you hold in trust, to their owners.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 5, Surah An-Nisa, verse 58)

(Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 4, pp. 323, Hadis 5266)

Regarding the foregoing verse Hakim-ul-Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الْـحَـنَّان has said, ‘O the whole Muslims! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ commands you to hand over every type of entrustments such as financial, pertaining to life, spiritual, faith-related, confidential, and honesty to their deserving people or owners or those who are worthy of them.’

(Tafsir Na’eemi, vol. 5, pp.1 59 – Maktabah Islamiyyah)

Guarantee of Paradise

The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: You guarantee me for six things I will guarantee you for Heaven:

1.       When you speak, speak the truth.

2.       When you make a promise, fulfill the promise.

3.       When you are made Ameen, return/pay the Amanat (deposit).

4.       Protect your private parts.

5.       Keep your eyes lowered.

6.       Control your hands. (Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, vol. 8, pp. 412, Hadis 22821)

Responsibility should be given according to eligibility.

If Nigrān-e-‘Alaqah and Shaher Mushawarat are according to the criterion (i.e. Madani Qafilah and Madani In’amat etc.) set by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه, then by the Mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ no one can stop the progress of Dawat-e-Islami over there.
