00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,299
Allah the Almighty says:

2
00:00:02,299 --> 00:00:11,800
“Would ye then, if ye were given the command, work corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship?” (47:22)

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:21,699
“Such are they whom Allah curseth so that He deafeneth them and maketh blind their eyes.” (47:23)

4
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:25,199
On the authority of Jubayr Ibn Mut'im, may Allah be pleased with him,

5
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:29,199
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

6
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:32,200
"The one who severs shall not enter Paradise,"

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,200
meaning the one who severs ties of kinship.

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,390
Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

9
00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:40,390
"This is a general prohibition against causing corruption on earth,

10
00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:43,390
and a specific prohibition against severing ties of kinship.

11
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:47,390
For Allah the Almighty has commanded us to bring about reform on earth,

12
00:00:47,390 --> 00:00:49,390
and to maintain ties of kinship,

13
00:00:49,390 --> 00:00:54,890
which means showing kindness to relatives through one's words, actions, and the giving of wealth."

14
00:00:54,890 --> 00:00:59,390
Authentic and sound hadiths have been narrated to this effect.
