Arabic text
عن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «مَنْ لَقِيَ اللهَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ دَخَلَ النَّارَ».
Translation
Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever meets Allah without associating partners with Him will enter Paradise, and whoever meets Him while associating partners with Him will enter Hellfire."
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that whoever dies while not associating anything as a partner with Allah will end up in Paradise, even if he is punished for some of his sins; and that whoever dies while associating anything as a partner with Allah will abide in Hellfire forever.
Benefits
- This points out the merit of monotheist belief and that it is the means of salvation from an eternal stay in Hellfire.
- Paradise and Hellfire are close to people, and only death separates them.
- It warns against polytheism, little or much, for salvation from Hellfire is attained by avoiding it.
- What matters in one's deeds is how they end up.
Explanation: العربية
يُخبرُ النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أنَّ مَن مات لا يشرك بالله شيئًا فمصيرُه إلى الجنة وإنْ عُذِّبَ على بعضِ ذنوبِه، وأنَّ مَن مات وهو يشرك بالله شيئًا خُلِّد في النار.
- فضل التوحيد، وأنه سبب للنجاة من الخلود في النار.
- قُرْب الجنة والنار من العبد، وأنه ليس بينه وبينهما إلا الموت.
- التحذير من الشرك قليله وكثيرة؛ لأن النجاة من النار بتَجَنُّبِه.
- العِبرة في الأعمال بخواتِيمِها.
