Allah said:
[وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو
إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ]
(And Allah calls to the Abode of Peace) When Allah mentioned the swiftness of
this world and its termination, He invited people to Paradise and encouraged
them to seek it. He called it the Abode of Peace. It is the Abode of Peace
because it is free from defects and miseries. So Allah said:
[وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو
إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ]
(Allah calls to the Home of Peace and guides whom He wills to the straight
path.) It was narrated that Jabir bin `Abdullah said: "Allah's Messenger came
out one day and said to us:
«إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي
الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي، وَمِيكَائِيلَ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ،
يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ: اضْرِبْ لَهُ مَثَلًا، فَقَالَ: اسْمَعْ،
سَمِعَتْ أُذُنُكَ، وَاعْقِلْ، عَقَلَ قَلْبُكَ، إِنَّمَا مَثَلُكَ وَمَثَلُ
أُمَّتِكَ كَمَثَلِ مَلِكٍ اتَّخَذَ دَارًا، ثُمَّ بَنَى فِيهَا بَيْتًا، ثُمَّ
جَعَلَ فِيهَا مَأْدَبةً، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ رَسُولًا يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ،
فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَجَابَ الرَّسُولَ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ، فَاللهُ الْمَلِكُ،
وَالدَّارُ الْإِسْلَامُ، وَالْبَيْتُ الْجَنَّةُ، وَأَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ رَسُولٌ،
فَمَنْ أَجَابَكَ دَخَلَ الْإِسْلَامَ، وَمَنْ دَخَلَ الْإِسْلَامَ دَخَلَ
الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَنْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا»
(I have seen in my sleep that it was as if Jibril was at my head and Mika'il
at my leg. They were saying to each other: `Give an example for him.' He said:
`Listen, your ear may listen. And fathom, your heart may fathom. The parable of
you and your Ummah is that of a king who has built a house on his land. He
arranged a banquet in it. Then he sent a messenger to invite the people to his
food. Some accepted the invitation and others did not. Allah is the King and the
land is Islam, the house is Paradise and you Muhammad are the Messenger.
Whosoever responds to your call enters Islam. And whosoever enters Islam enters
Paradise. And whosoever enters Paradise eats from it.) Ibn Jarir recorded this
Hadith. It was also reported that Abu Ad-Darda' said that Allah's Messenger
said:
«مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ
طَلَعَتْ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَّا وَبِجَنْبَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ
يَسْمَعُهُ خَلْقُ اللهِ كُلُّهُمْ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ
هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ، إِنَّ مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ
وَأَلْهَى»
(Two angels descend every day in which the sun rises and say that which all
Allah's creatures would hear except Jinn and humans: `O people! Come to your
Lord! Anything little and sufficient is better than a lot but distractive.') And
He sent this down in the Qur'an when He said:
[وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو
إِلَى دَارِ السَّلاَمِ]
("Allah calls to the Abode of Peace''.) Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir recorded
this.
[لِّلَّذِينَ
أَحْسَنُواْ الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ وَلاَ يَرْهَقُ وُجُوهَهُمْ قَتَرٌ وَلاَ
ذِلَّةٌ أُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَـبُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـلِدُونَ ]
(26. For those who have done good is the best, and even more. Neither
darkness nor dust nor any humiliating disgrace shall cover their faces. They are
the dwellers of Paradise, they will abide therein forever.)
