Reward of Ablution (Wudu)

Uqbah b. `Amir reported:

We were entrusted with the task of tending the camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening after grazing them in the pastures, I found Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stand and address the  people. I  heard these words of his:

If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face,

Paradise would be guaranteed to him.  I said: What a fine thing is this! And a narrator who was before me said:
The first was better than even this.


When I cast a glance, I saw that it was 'UMAR who said:
I see that you have just come and observed: If any one amongst you perform s the ablution, and then completes the ablution well and then says:

Ash-Hadu An Laa ilaha ill-Allah, Wa Ash-Hadu
 Anna Muhammadan `Abduhu Wa Rasooluhu

I testify  that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant of Allah and his Messenger.

  The eight gates of Paradise would be opened
for him and he may enter by which ever of them he  wishes.

        Sahih Muslim 234a

Leadership Lessons From The Quran

Do you remember ever being ridiculed at school or elsewhere during your childhood? Whether the reason for it was your dress, style of talking, or lack of expertise in a certain field or at a particular skill, ridicule by others never feels good. In fact, it feels absolutely awful. The thing about being young is, and this I speak from experience, that one tends to take the mockery, criticism and derision of rivals, envious peers, and openly hostile antagonists (whom the modern literati terms “haters”) too quickly to heart, thinking their harsh words about you to be true. It is at this point, viz. when a child or young adult has their appearance, dreams, efforts, hard work, or abilities mocked and jeered at by others, that the role of the compassionate and sympathetic older mentor, leader, teacher, trainer or parent comes in, to play a crucial ‘rescue’ part: revitalizing the dejected youth’s plunging self-esteem and saving them from giving up on their dreams.
