The reward of worship performed at a time of trials

Hadith # 1366.jpgHazrat Maaqil bin Yasar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah image001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The reward of worship performed at a time of trials is equal in reward to an emigration to me.''
[Muslim Book 41, Chapter 24, Hadith # 7042]
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Ankabut Ayat 02. “Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested” When turmoil is rampant and society is plagued with evils, the worship and obedience of Allah becomes very difficult. The reason being that in such a situation evils are widespread and therefore everyone easily inclines to them. In such circumstances, worship of Allah and compliance of His Orders are merits of great eminence and their reward have been likened to the reward of going for Hijrah (Emigration) to Al-Madinah at that time when this migration was Wajib (obligatory). Emigration was at that time obligatory and to bid farewell to home, property, business and homeland was sacrifice of the highest order. But this sacrifice was worth its reward. A similar reward is promised to those who will be obedient to Allah and worship Him in an age of mischief. A believer should avoid taking part in turmoil and occupy himself worshipping Allah instead.



If anyone calls others to follow right guidance,

S-028 ayat 084.jpg[28].Surah Al-Qasas [The Narration]
Ayat 84. Whosoever brings good (Islamic Monotheism along with righteous deeds), he shall have the better thereof, and whosoever brings evil (polytheism along with evil deeds) then, those who do evil deeds will only be Punished for what they used to do.
Tafseer of Surah Al-Qasas (The Narration) Ayat 84. If any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds. A good deed has its sure reward, and that reward will be better than the merits of the doer. An evil deed may be forgiven by repentance, but in any case will not be punished with severe penalty than justice demands.Hadith # 174.jpg
English Translation of Hadith  
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allahimage001.jpg [SAWW](PBUH) said,  "If anyone calls others to follow right guidance, his reward will be equivalent to those who follow him (in righteousness) without their reward being diminished in any respect, and if anyone invites others to follow error, the sin, will be equivalent to that of the people who follow him (in sinfulness) without their sins being diminished in any respect".
[Muslim Book # 06, Chapter 34, Hadith # 6470].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Qasas Ayat 84. “Whosoever brings good (Islamic Monotheism along with righteous deeds), he shall have the better thereof” Invitation' and `Call' stand to mean here that someone induces others to virtue or seduces to sin by means of his speech or action. We come to know from this Hadith that one who becomes a medium for either of them is given a reward or punishment respectively by Allah (SWT).
