tips to be saved from Hellfire

Here are 7 tips from our Prophet (SAWS) to save yourself from Hellfire.

1) Performing 4 rak'aat before 'Ad-dhor' and 4 after it

Umm Habibah the wife of the Prophet (SAWS) : She heard Allah's  Messenger (SAWS) saying :"Whoever maintains four Rak'aat before Az-Zuhr and four after it, Allah makes him prohibited for the Fire." [ Sunan At-Tirmidhi 428, Grade : Sahih (authentic) ]

PS : According to the scholars, the 4 rak'aat should be performed by 2 prayers of 2 rak'aat.

2) Fasting

The Prophet (SAWS) said : "Whoever fasts a day in the way of Allah, then Allah will move his face away from the Hellfire by a distance of seventy years". [ Sahih Bukhari , Muslim ]

PS : Try to fast some mondays and thursdays outside Ramadan in order to get further away from Hellfire.

3) Making a du'aa which will make Paradise and Hellfire supplicate for the believers

The Prophet (SAWS) said :"Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise will say: O Allah, admit him into Paradise. Whoever seeks protection from Hellfire three times, Hellfire will say: O Allah, save him from the Hellfire.� [ Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2572, Grade : Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani ]

The following dua'a are : *Allahuma adkhilni Jannat ul Firdaws ( 3 times )
                          *Allahuma ajirni minan naar ( 3 times )

PS : Try to say these du'aas in every prayers

4) Whoever has faith, prays and fasts will enter Paradise whether he fights in Jihad or not

Abu Huraira reported : The Prophet (SAWS) said : "Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, establishes prayer, and fasts the month of Ramadan will have a right upon Allah that he will be entered into Paradise whether he strives in the cause of Allah or remains in the land in which he was born.�  [ Sahih Bukhari 2790 ]

5) Having a good behaviour

The Prophet (SAWS) said :"Shall I not tell you for whom the Hellfire is forbidden? It is every person accessible, polite, and mild.�
[ Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2488, Grade : Hasan ]

PS : It means he is accessible to people, he is against harshness, easy-going in his character and generous in his personality.

6) Giving charity

According to Ady Ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (saws) said : "Guard yourself from the Hellfire even with half of a date in charity. If he cannot find it, then with a kind word."[ Sahih Bukhari 1417 and Sahih Muslim 1016 ]

7) Crying out of fear of Allah

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: �A man who weeps for fear of Allah will not enter Hell until the milk goes back into the udder, and dust produced (when fighting) for the sake of Allah and the smoke of Hell will never coexist.� [Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1633]

PS : The last part of the hadith is a metaphor for it being impossible, as in the verse where Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): �and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle� [7:40].

Share this with others so that you gain as much rewards as them practising.

May Allah save us from Hellfire. Ameen.Ameen.

+zainkhalid Wa iyakum.

One more thing. The tip about charity, it's Sahih Bukhari 1417 and not 6195. And the tip about the jihad, it's Sahih Bukhari 2790 and not 2637. Once again I'm sorry. If you have sent these tips to people, please inform them.
