The Garden of Guidance.

2
00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:07,370
Allah, Almighty and Glorious, said:

3
00:00:07,370 --> 00:00:32,329
“And those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it, and sever that which Allah hath commanded should be joined, and make mischief in the earth: theirs is the curse and theirs the ill abode.” (13:25)

4
00:00:32,329 --> 00:00:44,159
“And those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it, and sever that which Allah hath commanded should be joined, and make mischief in the earth: theirs is the curse and theirs the ill abode.” (13:25)

5
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,159
On the authority of Jubayr ibn Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him),

6
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,159
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

7
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,219
"The one who severs ties of kinship shall not enter Paradise."

8
00:00:55,219 --> 00:00:57,640
Agreed upon.

9
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,579
A Valuable Insight:

10
00:00:59,579 --> 00:01:03,079
There is a deep connection between the womb (*rahim*) and divine mercy (*rahmah*).

11
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:06,079
Thus, whoever desires the Most Merciful to show him mercy,

12
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:08,079
let him maintain his ties of kinship—

13
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:12,079
that very kinship which clung to the Throne of the Most Merciful and cried out:

14
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:15,079
"O Allah, maintain ties with him who maintains me,

15
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:17,079
and sever ties with him who severs me!"
