Easy Entrance: “Paradise is surrounded by difficulties and Fire is surrounded by temptations” .

Eternal: “[B]O Jannatis, now there will be no death; O Jahannamis now there will be no death; On hearing this call , the Jannatis will be delighted and the Jahanamis will become more depressed.”

Depth: “[B]If a rock is dropped into Jahannam, it will remain plummeting for 70 years before touching the pith of Jahannam”. [Muslim]

4 Walls: “Four walls surround Jahannam. The width of each wall is a walking distance of 40 years”.

7 Gates: “Jahannam has seven gates; one of them is for the one who unsheathes a sword against my Ummah.” [Mishkat]

Atmosphere: “Jahannam was heated for a thousand years and its fire turned red; It was then heated for another thousand years and it became white; it was again heated for another thousand years and it turned black. At present, Jahannam is pitch black and dark.” [Tirmidhi] “The fire in which one will burn is the 70th part of the Fire of Jahannam.” [Muslim]

Breath: “Once Jahannam complained to Allah Ta’ala against the increasing heat because one portion was eating into another. Then the Rabb of the Worlds allowed it to have two breaths — one during summer and another during winter. Therefore the heat you feel is the effect of the heave of Jahannam (with it the breath is taken out) and similarly, the rigid cold you experience is the effect of the breath (taken in).

7 Layers: Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) has said that the gates of Jahannam are one upon each other. This denotes that Jahannam has layers. “[B]The Hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire.” [Qur’an 4:145].
 
Fuel: “Verily you, (Unbelievers) and the (false) gods that you worship besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Jahannam! To it will you (surely) come!” [Qur’an 21: 98] “O Muslims! Save yourselves and your families from the Fire whose fuel is men and stones.” [Qur’an 66: 6]

Ibn Mas’ud (ra) explained; “Stones, which are the fuel of Jahannam, are made of sulphur (brimstone) which Allah Ta’ala created in the nearest heaven on the day heaven and earth were created.” [Hakim]

Let’s look at the common traits in these 52 countries which claim themselves MUSLIM.

Lack of transparency

Lack of Justice, both at social and legislative level

Lack of Leaderships, the leader is only interested in getting into power so they have more chances and power for corruption.

Lack of Education & research, the literacy rate in these countries is alarmingly low, research and analysis is a term which does exist in any field other than corruption.

Lack of Civic Sense, not limited to leaders, the people of Muslim country due to poor education system, are not aware of their civic responsibilities, they live like a wild animal and needless to say that, in a jungle, only wild animal survives.

Lack of tolerance, not limited to government, civil society is clearly not ready to tolerate any difference of opinion.

Wealth and leadership is limited to certain families, in 52 Muslim countries wealth and political parties (if any) belongs to a limited number of families only.

Different laws, unlike any civil society, these countries, the interpretation of law differs from person to person, a person who belong to ruling class or a wealth family, can commit any crime, including murder and can easily get away with it, whereas an non-connected person can be held accountable for not paying his bills on time.

The list is endless, the point I am trying to make is, it is responsibility of leadership to give their people better, education and justice, once these two are delivered rest follows by itself. The trauma is the leaders as knowingly or purposely not allowed these basics to be delivered, and clearly violate the Quranic order to fill the land with justice and harmony.

Pakistan has got all the above symptoms and I am sure there are plenty more, point is, ulessl we be stop supporting these leaders, Nawaz Sharif, Benazir, Pervaiz Musharaf, Altaf Hussain will not brought to justice. This should start by condemning the wrong deeds and appreciating the right ones. In addition, if people should not worship personalities. There is lot more to be done but these are just to begin with.

I guess the important question we should ask to ourselves is, are we brave enough to see out side the box?

Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) has said about the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah: There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” The people asked, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said, “Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing. [Sahih al-Bukhar].

So sacred are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah that Allah swears an oath by them when He says in the Quran: “By the dawn; by the ten nights”
[al-Fajr 89:1-2].

Swearing an oath by something indicates its importance and great benefit.

What kinds of worship should be performed?

While any good deed done for the sake of Allah according to the way He approves will be rewarded immensely during the first ten days, InshaAllah, some of the more specific actions mentioned in the traditions of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) are fasting and verbal Dhikr (remembrance) of Allah.

Fasting:

In terms of fasting, it is particularly encouraged to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, known in Arabic as Yawm Arafah. The Prophet used to fast on this day [an Nisai and Abu Dawud]. Fasting on this day will expiate a Muslim’s sins for two years.

Abu Qatadah reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:
Fasting the Day of Arafah will be credited with Allah by forgiving one’s sins of the previous year and the following year. [Muslim]

One of the wives of the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: Allah’s Messenger used to fast the (first) nine days of Dhul-Hijjah, the day of Ashura, and three days of each month. [Sahih Sunan Abu Dawud #2129]

The day of Arafah is the day when the pilgrims stand in worship on the Mountain of Arafah. It is the best day of the Whole Year.

Fasting the day of Arafah expiates the [minor] sins of two years: a past one and a coming one. And fasting the day of Ashura expiates the sins of the past year. [Muslim]

There is no day on which Allah frees people from the Fire as He does no the day of Arafah. He comes close (to those standing on Arafah) and then revels before His angels, saying: “What are these people seeking?” [Muslim]

Dhikr:

The verbal remembrance of Allah is another meritorious act during these first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.

“And mention the name of Allah on the appointed days” [12:28].

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) encouraged Muslims to recite a lot of Tasbeeh (SubhanAllah), Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah) and Takbeer (Allahu-Akbar) during this time.

The Takbeer may include the words “Allahu-Akbar, Allahu-Akbar, la ilaha ill-Allah; wa Allahu akbar wa Lillahil-hamd (Allah is Most Great, Allah is Most Great, there is no god but Allah; Allah is Most Great and to Allah be praise),” as well as other phrases.
Men are encouraged to recite these phrases out loud and women quietly.

Ibn ‘Umar and Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) used to go out in the marketplace during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, reciting Takbeer, and the people would recite Takbeer individually when they heard them.

Good Deeds:

Generally, all good deeds are rewarded highly at this blessed time. These actions include praying, reading Quran, making Du’a (supplication), giving in charity and being good to our families, and other voluntary (nafl) righteous deeds of worship. These are amongst the deeds that are multiplied in these days.

Seek Allah’s Forgiveness and Repentance:

In addition, seeking Allah’s forgiveness (istighfar) and Tawbah (repentance) at this time is also encouraged. This means more than just a verbal statement of sorrow for past misdeeds. It also requires a firm resolution to avoid making the same mistakes in the future by giving up bad habits, and behavior while sincerely turning to Allah.

Sacrifice:

The slaughtering of a sacrificial animal (Adhiyah) is also legislated for the Day of Sacrifice (10th) and the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th).

The tenth of Dhul-Hijjah is Eid ul-Adha or the day of an-Nahr (slaughtering). It marks the conclusion of the major rites of Hajj, and commemorates Allah’s bounty on Prophet Ibrahim (alayhis salam), when He gave him a ram to sacrifice as ransom for his son.

It is repoted that Prophet Muhammad (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) slaughtered (sacrificed) two horned rams, black and white in colour, and said Takbeer (Allahu Akbar), and placed his foot on their sides (while slaughtering them).
[Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim]

‘The day of al-Fitr [Eid ul-Fitr], the day of an-Nahr, and the days of Tashreeq are Eid days for us Muslims. They are days of eating and drinking.’
[Ahmad, an-Nasa’i, sahih al-Jami’ #8192]
