Hadith Qudsi 1:
A letter from the
Imam: An invitation
to Paradise.
Alhamdu Lillah who says
in the Holy Quran:" The
parable of those who
spend their substance in
the way of Allah is that of
a grain of corn: it grows
seven ears, and each ear
hath a hundred grains.
Allah gives manifold
increase to whom He
pleases: and Allah cares
for all and He knows all
things."
The Islamic society of
Augusta has the pleasure
to receive your donations
and ask Allah to accept all
us deeds and accept us
among the faithful.
On the authority of Anas (may
Allah be pleased with him), who
said: I heard the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) say: Allah the
Almighty said: O son of Adam, so
long as you call upon Me and ask
of Me, I shall forgive you for what
you have done, and I shall not
mind. O son of Adam, were your
sins to reach the clouds of the sky
and were you then to ask
forgiveness of Me, I would forgive
you. O son of Adam, were you to
come to Me with sins nearly as
great as the earth and were you
then to face Me, ascribing no
partner to Me, I would bring you
forgiveness nearly as great at it.
(At-Tirmidhi)
Hadith Qudsi 2:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him),
who said that the Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said: The gates of
Paradise will be opened on
Mondays and on Thursdays, and
every servant [of Allah] who
associates nothing with Allah will
be forgiven, except for the man
who has a grudge against his
brother. [About them] it will be
said: Delay these two until they are
reconciled; delay these two until
they are reconciled. (Muslim)
