attain the reward

  • 1 I will attain the reward and have my wealth blessed by the Generous Lord.

    Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

    { Who is it that would loan Allāh a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward? }

    Quran ( 57 : 11 )

  • 2 That I will attain the reward of those who strive for the sake of Allah

    Abdullah bin 'Amr ( May Allah be pleased with him ) reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) and sought permission (to participate) in Jihad, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said:

    Are your parents living? He said: Yes. Thereupon he ( the Holy Prophet) said: You should put in your best efforts (in their) service. 

    [ Muslim ]


    It was narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulaimi said:

    “I came to the Messenger of Allah ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and honor her.’ Then I approached him from the other side and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and honour her.’ Then I approached him from in front and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to go for Jihad with you, seeking thereby the Face of Allah and the Hereafter.’ He said: ‘Woe to you! Is your mother still alive?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Go back and serve her, for there is Paradise.’”
