Paradise before the rich. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: The destitute Muslims will enter Paradise half a day before the rich, and that (half a day) will be (equivalent to) 500 years.’

Introduction to ‘Excellence of Poverty’

Dear Islamic brothers! Whatever we have just heard about the excellence of poverty has been derived from the published booklet of Maktaba-tul-Madinah namely, ‘Ghareeb Fa`iday mayn Hay’ [Excellence of Poverty]. Is poverty a cause of mercy or a very big curse? Is poverty the cause of increasing the troubles of the world or decreasing the troubles of the Hereafter? Did our pious predecessors use to prefer to live in poverty or want to have abundant wealth? In order to get all these pieces of information buy this booklet today from Maktaba-tul-Madinah the publishing department of Dawat-e-Islami and not only study it yourself, but also persuade other Islamic brothers to study it.

Just ponder, if somebody is taking rest at his home at night and receives this news that enemies are outside and want to take his life, so he will lose his sleep, he will not be at peace. However, he knows that there is a very good system of security outside, even then he will not be satisfied. His family members may also become restless and scared. But may I be sacrificed upon Sayyiduna Ali’s un-exemplary courage and perfect passion of love! Despite knowing this that the enemies were taking their position outside and could attack anytime and
