Each morning the Allah showers His mercy upon us, even before the rays of sunlight reach our eyes. It is only through His mercy that we awaken from death itself. Each night, our souls leave our bodies only to be returned to us by the mercy and will of Allah Ta’ala. A process each and everyone of us go through everyday yet we fail to realise the power of the being who is behind this process.
It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abu Maalik al-Haarith bin al-Haarith al-Ash’aree Radhi Allahu Anhu that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said:
“…Every person starts his day as a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or causing its ruin.”
[Saheeh al-Muslim]
This Hadeeth informs us that every morning we are made responsible for the abode and actions of our souls. It is our personal choice which will either grant our souls freedom from the punishment of Allah and from the fire of Hell, or we could cause its ruin by following Shaytaan and his desires.
Allah Ta’ala has stated that if He is the buyer of the soul of a believer then in return for him shall be paradise:
“Verily, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be Paradise”
[at-Tawbah 9:111] - Source
