Why does Allah do this? Very generous He is. If you donate for forgiveness in Qadr night, or the day of 'Arafah, would you not donate for this! So yes you can guarantee the shed TONIGHT. If you have doubts about any of the other 6, here is your chance. Do it now while being ready and warmed up!
Teach it to your wife and kids. Don't be content by doing it once. Why? Because you never know which one was 100% in Allah's sake. You know what? One time I sit within a group, recited this Hadeeth and explained the same way. After some time, I saw them passing by and asked "have you done #7?"
They replied "#7 of what?" And when I reminded them, they said "we did not pay attention." But the youngest of them said "I did it once." Subhan Allah! {That is the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He wills(Al-Jumu'ah 4)}. Are you still imagining yourself there!
You will remember the 7, and your life will be displayed before you. And you will be so regretful. Although some will have this day as 2 light Rak'ahs and others as 50,000 years, now the stand is becoming unbearibly long. No one is not exhausted. Everyone is calling for an end to this torture.
Everyone, or this humanity, once thought it has no need to believe, and that technology is our savior. After owning the materialistic world and denied the existance of its own spirituality, the world is astonishingly calling upon God to judge them. They would even say "let Him judge us and throw us in the fire. It is too much here."
Are you with those desparate ones? Or perhaps in the shed? They call on the Angels, but with no response. They talked a lot in this life, and now it is time to be ignored. They say "who would do Shafa'ah (ask for a favor) for us to our Rub (responsible)?" They reach Adam and say "O Adam who was first human created;...
... "who was created by Allah's hands and Allah prostrated the Angels to you; whom Allah taught all names, do Shafa'ah for us that Allah begins the Judgment" But Adam responds "Myself myself! Allah has been angered to a level He has never reached before. Try Ibraheem"
"O Ibraheem who is Allah's Khaleel (the most intimate friend), do Shafa'ah for us that Allah begins the Judgment" But Ibraheem responds "Myself myself! Allah has been angered to a level He has never reached before. Try Musah" Musah does the same thing and refers them to Isaa. Ishaa refers them to Muahmmad. Only he will say "I am for it. I am for it" This is Hadeeth.
Do you see our last messenger's greatness (PBUH)! We wish you would obey him this year, do Wodoo' (washing prerequisite to prayers) and pray like him. We wish you would love him; take him as your epitome instead of so and so. Now, this is the first time you see him.
You are standing in the back out of embarrassment. You feel you were not good. You cannot tell our last messenger (PBUH) proudly "I am from your nation." So you stay quiet. You see him from afar saying "I am for it. I am for it" then he prostrated under Allah's throne. He praises Allah with praises no human has praised Him with.
So Allah says then "O Muhammad raise your head. Ask and you shall be granted. Do Shafa'ah (to whoever) and I will accept it. Do you see how priceless our last messenger (PBUH) to Allah! How stupid we are to not come closer to you! So Muhammad says "I do Shafa'ah so the judging begins." And so, the Shafa'ah begins.
We should start talking about judging, but time is over. We may continue tomorrow. But let us pray that Allah bestows his mercy upon us that day. O Allah, thanks are due to your greatness! Bestow mercy for our weakness for that day! And our standing between your hands!
Shed us under your throne when there is no shadow except yours! Prevent us from that day's hotness! And its sun! And its humidity! And its sweat! We ask you to be squeezed with the believers, good, and worshippers! Bestow guidance on our parents, spouses, and children! Guide us to be good to our parents to be with them on that day!
Make our parents satisfied with us! Be satisfied with us! Forgive us! Release us tonight! We are afraid the nights pass, and we don't get released (from Hell). If you don't, we are in a big trouble. We ask you to not reach the day of Eed (celebration) without release. Look upon us with the eye of satisfaction! O Allah accept! O Allah accept! O Allah accept! May Allah pray upon our last messenger (PBUH)!
