HADEES OF THE HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.S.)

Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny). He has said:

“My Ummah consists of four groups:

1. One group offers the prayers, however yet are unmindful of their prayers, and they shall be placed in ‘Wayl’. ‘Wayl’ is the name of one of the bottom-most levels of hell. Allah has said:

“So woe to the praying ones, who are unmindful of their prayers.”[3]

2. One group is such that it occasionally offers the prayers, and so, ‘Ghayy’ is the abode for the people of this group. ‘Ghayy’ is the name of another of the bottom-most levels of hell. Allah has said:

“But there came after them an evil generation, who neglected prayers and followed the sensual desires, so they will meet perdition.” [4]

3. The third group consists of those, who never offer their prayers, and for them is ‘Saqar’, which is also the name of another of the low levels of hell and about which Allah has said: “(The inmates of paradise shall ask the inmates of hell) What has brought you into hell? They shall say: We were not of those who prayed.”[5]

4. The fourth group consists of those, who offer their prayers regularly and are humble in them. Allah has said: “Successful indeed are the believers, Who are humble in their prayers.”[6] and [7]

We pray to Allah (Glory and Greatness to Him) that He decrees all of us to be of the fourth group.
