Saad Tasleem – You never know

			The reality is that we don't know
		

			which day is the day in which Allah
		

			who Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has written for us
		

			to be freed from the hellfire. We don't
		

			know which
		

			prayer, which salah, which individual salah it may
		

			be that in that salah, Allah has
		

			decreed for us to be freed from the
		

			hellfire and admitted us into paradise. We don't
		

			even know
		

			which particular
		

			sajdah.
		

			I mean, let's put the prayer aside for
		

			a moment.
		

			We don't know what particular sajda is the
		

			sajda.
		

			That our spirituality is at such a heightened
		

			level
		

			that Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala forgives our sins
		

			and we're granted paradise and and there's precedent
		

			for this. We know in the sunnah of
		

			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam that people were
		

			freed from the hellfire for a single deed.
		

			We know of the woman who gave water
		

			to the dog that was panting and thirsty.
		

			The woman climbed into the well, climbed down
		

			to the well. She filled
		

			her shoe with water. She put it in
		

			her mouth, the shoe, because she had to
		

			use her arms to climb up. She climbed
		

			up out of the well and she gave
		

			this thirsty
		

			dog water, and there was so much sincerity
		

			and rahma mercy
		

			in this action of this woman that Allahu
		

			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala forgave
		

			a very sinful lifestyle of hers, and she
		

			was admitted into paradise.
		

			And that is why the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
		

			wa sallam, continuously reminded us of deeds that
		

			we think are small deeds.
		

			Never belittle anything from goodness.
		

			Even if it's you smiling in the face
		

			of your brother, and we hear this all
		

			the time. Right? It's sunnah to smile and
		

			so on and so forth. But how many
		

			of us truly, like, think about that smile
		

			as a deed
		

			that will free us from the hellfire?
