00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.870
The Garden of Guidance.

00:00:04.870 --> 00:00:07.370
Allah, Almighty and Glorious, said:

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)

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)

00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.159
On the authority of Jubayr ibn Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.159
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:55.219
"The one who severs ties of kinship shall not enter Paradise."

00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:57.640
Agreed upon.

00:00:57.640 --> 00:00:59.579
A Valuable Insight:

00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:03.079
There is a deep connection between the womb (*rahim*) and divine mercy (*rahmah*).

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.079
Thus, whoever desires the Most Merciful to show him mercy,

00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.079
let him maintain his ties of kinship—

00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.079
that very kinship which clung to the Throne of the Most Merciful and cried out:

00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.079
"O Allah, maintain ties with him who maintains me,

00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.079
and sever ties with him who severs me!"
