Prophet (saw) said:
"O Ali, on the night of my ascension (Miraj) I saw women of
my ummah who were being severily punished that I became concerned for
them and started cyring.

I saw a woman who had been hung by her breast.

Then I saw a second woman who was eating her own flesh and
fire raged below her.


A third woman was hanging by her tongue and boiling water
was being poured down her throat.


A fourth was bent over, her hands and feet were tied
together,and snakes and scorpions were crawling all over her


A fifth was deaf, dumb, and blind, enclosed in a cage of
fire, her brain oozing out of the holes in her skull. Her body fell appart
due to leprosy.


Another was hung by her feet, inside and over.


Yet another woman's body was being shredded to pieces by
scissors made of fire.


One woman had a head of a pig and a body of a donkey and was
given several punishments.



Another had the face of a dog, fire was entering her body
from her posterior and come out of her mouth and the angels were
beating her with iron rods."

Fatimah then inquired her father, "Please, tell me, what did
these women do (to deserve such punishment)?"

Then the Prophet Sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam said:
"Listen my dear;

The one who was hanging by her breast used to deny her
husband, his, rightful pleasure;


The one hanging by her feet used to go out of her house
without her husband's permission; The one eating her own flesh used to
beautify herself and show her body to men other than her husband


The one who's
hands and feet were tied together and covered
with snakes and scorpions never to care impurity and wasn't careful about
ghusl, thus taking her prayer lightly;



The deaf, blind, and dumb, used to bear children through
adultery but claim the children belonged to her husband;

The one whose body was being cut by scissors made of fire
never observed hijab in front of non mahrem men.

The one whose body was burned
and who was eating her own
intestines used to provide other woman for ____;
The one with the face of a pig and a body of a donkey was a
backbiter and a liar.


And those with the face of a dog and who had fire entering
her behind and coming out of her face was a jealous woman."


Allah sent this Deen and the Messenger to make it prevail
over all other deens even if the Kuffaar dislike it.
(EMQ at-Tawbah, 9:33)


The Prophet (saw) said: "Whoever stands by watching a
believer being humiliated without helping him, although he is able to do
so, Allah will humiliate him in front of everybody on the Day of Judgement"

[Reported by Imam Ahmad]

sahih Muslim Sharif, Book 1, Chapter 78, hadith number 337 (Abdul Hamid Sidiqqi Translation), which is:

It is narrated on the authority of Masruq that he said: I was resting at (the house of) 'A'isha that she said: O Abu 'A'isha (kunya of Masruq), there are three things, and he who affirmed even one of them fabricated the greatest lie against Allah. I asked that they were. She said: He who presumed that Muhammad (may peace be upon him) saw his Lord fabricated the greatest lie against Allah. I was reclining but then sat up and said: Mother of the Faithful, wait a bit and do not be in a haste. Has not Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: "And truly he saw him on the clear horizon" (al-Qur'an, lxxxi. 23) and "he saw Him in another descent" (al-Qur'an, iiii. 13)? She said: I am the first of this Ummah who asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) about it, and he said: Verily he is Gabriel. I have never seen him in his original form in which he was created except on those two occasions (to which these verses refer); I saw him descending from the heaven and filling (the space) from the sky to the earth with the greatness of his bodily structure. She said: Have you not heard Allah saying. "Eyes comprehend Him not, but He comprehends (all) vision. and He is Subtle, and All-Aware" (al-Qur'an, v. 104)? (She, i.e. 'A'isha, further said): Have you not heard that, verily, Allah says: "And it is not vouchsafed to a human being that Allah should speak unto him otherwise than by revelation, or from behind a veil, or that He sendeth a messenger (angel), so that he revealth whatsoever He wills. Verily He is Exalted. Wise" (al. Qur'an, xii. 51)She said: He who presumes that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) concealed anything, from the Book, of Allah fabricates the greatest lie against Allah. Allah says: "O Messenger ! deliver that which has been revealed to thee from thy Lord, and if thou do (it) not, thou hast not delivered His message" (al-Qur'an, v. 67). She said: He who presumes that he would inform about what was going to happen tomorrow fabricates the greatest lie against Allah. And Allah says "Say thou (Muhammad): None in the heavens and the earth knoweth the unseen save Allah" (al-Qur'an, xxvii 65).

Then he passed by another group of people whose private parts, from the front and behind, were wrapped in rags and they were grazing like camels and cattle. They were eating Daree'(a thorny plant of the fire of Jahannam) and Zaqqoom( a most bitter and foul smelling tree growing at the bottom of Jahannam) and the smouldering stones of Jahannam. Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) asked who these people were and Jibraeel (Alaihis salaam) replied, "They are those who do not discharge the zakaah of their wealth."

Anas (Radiallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "When I was taken up during the Me'raaj, I passed by people who had fingernails of copper and they were raking their own faces and chests with them. I asked Jibraeel (Alaihis salaam) who they were and he replied that they were those who used to eat the flesh of others (i.e. slandered them) and attacked their reputations." (Abu Dawood, in Mishkaat p.249)

The Miserable Plight of those who Consume Interest
It has been narrated by Abu Hurairah (Radiallahu anhu) that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "On the night of Mi'raaj, I passed by people with bellies as huge as houses (in which people stay) and inside their bellies were snakes which were visible from the outside. I asked Jibraeel (Alaihis salaam) who they were. He replied that they were those who consume interest (usury)." (Mishkaatul Masaabih Pg.246)

Hadrat Anas (Radiallahu anhu) that Rasulullah(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, "On the night in which I was taken on the journey, I passed by Moosa (Alaihis salaam) and he was performing salaah in his grave." (Sahih Muslim Pg.268 Vol.1)

The Prophet (pbuh) said to God Almighty,

“All kinds of greetings, prayers and goodness belong to Allah.”Its meaning is “I present all of the greetings and glorification of the beings with their states and tongues, all of the natural blessedness and glorification of all blessed things like seeds and semen, all of the worshipping of conscious beings like human beings, all of the worshipping and glorification of all prophets and saints to you as a gift; they all belong to you.”

Upon this greeting, God Almighty said to His Prophet (pbuh), “Peace, the mercy of Allah and His blessings be on you, O Prophet!” Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Peace be on us and on the righteous servants of Allah.” Jibril witnessed this talk at Sidra al-Muntaha when Allah ordered him to be a witness by saying, “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.”

allah is a creature

Thereafter, I heard the sound of the Adhan. An Angel in the heavens was busy reciting this Adhan. And up until now, 1 had not heard the Adhan being called out from the heavens. When he said:



الله أكبر الله أكبر

Allah is greater than any words that can describe Him.
Allah is greater than any words That can describe Him.


Allah said, "My servant has spoken the truth. I am the Greatest."

The Angel then said:



أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله

I bear witness that there is no creature worthy of worship except Allah.
I bear witness that there is no creature worthy of worship except Allah.


Allah said, "My servant has spoken the truth, other than Me there is no other god."

The call of:



أشهد أن محمد رسول الله أشهد أن محمد رسول الله

I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.


was then heard.

Allah (SWT) said, "My servant has spoken the truth. Muhammad is My Servant and Prophet. I have appointed him as a Prophet."

The Muaddhin then said:



حيَّ على الصلاة حيَّ على الصلاة

Hasten towards the Salat.
Hasten towards the Salat.


Allah (SWT) said, "My servant has spoken the truth ‑ he has invited others to worship Me. Whomsoever comes towards the Salat with complete love and with full accountability, (the Salat) will be a kaffarah for his previous sins."

The Muaddhin then said,



حيَّ على الفلاح حيَّ على الفلاح

Hasten towards salvation.
Hasten towards salvation.


Allah (SWT) said, `Salat is the means of success of my Servants. Salat is the key to success, salvation and truthfulness of My servants. '' 12
