Answer:
70000 people to paradise
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘Nations were
displayed before me; one or two Prophets would pass by along with a few of
their followers. A Prophet would pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of people passed in front of
me and I asked, 'Who are they? Are they my followers?' It was said, 'No. It is

Allah Says
in the Holy Quran Chapter 53 Surah Najm verses 2-5:

3 Nor does he say (aught) of (his own)
desire.
4 It is no less than inspiration sent down
to him:
5 He (saws) was taught by one mighty in

Dear and Beloved brother in
Islam, Allah Subhanah Himself guarantees that the Prophet Mohamed (saws) does
not give any information about any aspect of the deen or the Hereafter of his
own desire, but he (saws) relates in Truth whatever is inspired to him by Hadrat
Jibrael (a.s.) with the Permission and Command of Allah Subhanah.
In the above quoted authentic
hadith, the
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 56 Surah
Waqiah verse 10:
10 And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the
Hereafter)!
11 These will be those Nearest to Allah:
12 In Gardens of Bliss:
13 A (vast) number of people from those of old
14 And a few from those of later times.
Allah Alone Knows who these fortunate 70,000 believers
would be, but in light of the above verse of Surah Al-Waqiah, it is safe to
assume that a vast majority of them will those from the earliest generation of
believers and a few of them will be believers from later times.
Your
Question: what is ruqya ??
The term or act of ‘ruqya’ when used in the Islamic sense
would mean the recital of some incantation seekings Allah’s help for a specific
fear or ailment. Before the revelations
of the Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Naas, the Messenger of Allah (saws) would at
times perform the ‘ruqya’ and seek Allah’s help.
Allah's Messenger (saws) used to treat with a
‘Ruqya’ saying, "O the Lord of the people! Remove the trouble. The cure is
in Your Hands, and there is none except You Who can remove it (the disease).
"
Thabit and I went to Anas bin Malik. Thabit
said, "O Abu Hamza! I am sick." On that Anas said, "Shall I
treat you with the Ruqya of Allah's Messenger (saws)?" Thabit said, "Yes." Anas recited,
"O Allah! The Lord of the people, the Remover of trouble! (Please) cure (heal
this patient), for You are the Healer. None brings about healing but You; a
healing that will leave behind no ailment."
Before the revelation of the Muawidaat (113th
Surah Al-Falaq and 114th Surah An-Naas), the Messenger of Allah
(saws) would seek the protection of Allah by reciting a ‘ruqya’ supplication;
but after the revelation of these two magnificent Surahs, the Messenger of
Allah (saws) would seek the protection of Allah from all evils through their
recitation.
The Prophet (saws) used to seek protection
against the Jinn and the evil eye till Surahs al-Falaq and an-Naas were
revealed. After they were revealed, he (saws) stuck to them and discarded
everything beside them.
Your
Question: what is meant by not treating oneself with ruqya?
People in the days of ignorance before Islam used all
sorts of ‘ruqyas’ or charms, or incantations, or spells, etc. to remove their
afflictions, and believed that some specific charms, incantations, spells, etc.
could remove their afflictions. They
would put their full trust and belief in the powers of these ‘ruqyas’, rather
than in the Power and Strength of Allah Subhanah.
In the days of ignorance before Islam, such was the
widespread belief in the healing powers of these self-invented ‘ruqyas’ or
spells, that this was used as the absolute first remedy for any ailment or
affliction that befell them. With the
advent of the guidance of Islam, the believers were strongly commanded to put
their absolute, full, and unshakeable trust in the Powers of Allah Subhanah
Alone and leave every other ‘ruqya’, charm, incantation, and spell forever, and
thus manifest their belief in the Supreme Strength and Power of the One and
Only Lord of the Worlds.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
