The Garden of Guidance.

2
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:07,820
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said:

3
00:00:07,820 --> 00:00:19,850
“Give the kinsman his due, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and squander not (thy wealth) in wantonness.” (17:26)

4
00:00:19,850 --> 00:00:23,850
And on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

5
00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:26,480
"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah,

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,079
whenever I see you, my soul finds delight and my eyes are comforted,

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,240
so tell me about everything.'

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:40,689
He replied: 'Everything was created from water.'

9
00:00:40,689 --> 00:00:48,880
I said: 'Tell me of a deed which, if I abide by it, will enter me into Paradise.'

10
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,880
He said: 'Spread peace,

11
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,880
feed others,

12
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,880
maintain ties of kinship,

13
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,880
and pray at night while people are asleep;

14
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,039
you will then enter Paradise in peace.'"

15
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:05,579
Related by Ahmad.

16
00:01:05,579 --> 00:01:07,969
Therefore,

17
00:01:07,969 --> 00:01:11,349
Shaykh Muhammad al-Shinqiti said:

18
00:01:11,349 --> 00:01:15,420
"If you take your child along when upholding your ties of kinship,

19
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:18,420
such as visiting your paternal or maternal uncle,

20
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:20,420
and his feet tread that path,

21
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:23,420
you will surely receive a reward for it.

22
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:28,420
Furthermore, your child will not continue to uphold ties of kinship after your death,

23
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:31,579
except that you will also be granted a share of his reward."
