1 Allah will give me a guarantee
Aisha ( may Allah be pleased with her ) reported:
The Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) said: “No Muslim dies with one of six traits but that he has a guarantee from Allah he will be admitted into Paradise…A man who performs ablution in the best manner and then goes out to the mosque for his prayer; if he dies in this state, his guarantee is upon Allah…
In other words, if he lives he will have provision to suffice him, and if he dies he will enter Paradise
