[1] (V.114:2). The Statement
of Allah
:-
'The King of mankind." Narrated Abû Huraira
: The
Prophet
said, "On the Day of Resurrection Allah will grasp the whole (planet of)
earth (by His Hand) and shall roll up the heaven with His Right Hand and
say, "I am the King. Where are the kings of the earth?'" (Sahih
Al-Bukharî, Vol. 9, Hadîth No.479).
[2] (V.114:4). Narrated
Abû Huraira
: Allah's
Messenger
said, "The (Hell) Fire is surrounded by all kinds of desires and passions,
while Paradise is surrounded by all kinds of disliked undesirable things."*
(Sahih Al-Bukharî, Vol. 8, Hadîth No.494).
*Inordinate desires and animalistic passions lead to the Fire while self-control,
perseverance, chastity and all other virtues, and the obedience to Allah
and His Messenger
lead to Paradise. What leads to Hell is easy to do while what leads
to Paradise is difficult to do.
