The hadith (saying of the Prophet) of the seven who are in Allah’s shade, subhanahu wa ta’ala (exalted is He), on the Day of Judgment gives us guidance as to important milestones and markers for our spiritual development. These are goals that should be sought in one’s development.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade: a just ruler; a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques; two men who love each other for Allah’s sake, meeting for that and parting upon that; a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position [for illegal intercourse], but he says: ‘I fear Allah’, a man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity; and a man who remembered Allah in private and so his eyes shed tears.

So there are seven things mentioned in this hadith:

Subhana’llah: Hedgehog (IMAGES)

 Their coats are thick and spiny, providing them with a formidable defence against predators such as the fox. When they feel alarmed or intimidated, they will curl up into a spiny ball to protect its vulnerable stomach. They have about 5000 spines. Each spine lasts about a year then drops out and a replacement grows.

The seed of truth is within your heart, it grows stronger the nearer you are to the source of love.

 The seed of truth is within your heart, it grows stronger the nearer you are to the source of love.
 La semilla de la verdad está dentro de su corazón, que se hace más fuerte cuanto más cerca esté de la fuente del amor.
 Het zaad van de waarheid is in je hart, het groeit sterker hoe dichter je bij de bron van liefde.
 La semence de la vérité est dans votre cœur, il devient plus fort le plus proche, vous êtes à la source de l’amour.
 Die Saat der Wahrheit ist in deinem Herzen, es wächst stärker, je näher man an die Quelle der Liebe sind.
 真理的種子是你的心臟內，變得強大，你是愛的源頭更近。
 Utsäde av sanningen är i ditt hjärta, det växer starkare ju närmare du är till källan av kärlek.
 Семя истины в вашем сердце, она усиливается тем ближе вы к источнику любви.
 Gerçeğin tohum kalbinin içinde, daha güçlü yakın sevginin kaynağına ne kadar büyür.
 Il seme della verità è nel vostro cuore, cresce più forte quanto più si è alla fonte dell’amore.
 Benih kebenaran di dalam hati Anda, itu tumbuh lebih kuat semakin dekat Anda dengan sumber cinta.
