Answer:
Hadith qudsi 20 &23
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.
Hadith Qudsi 20

Your Question: does the brother mean a muslim? or
the real brother?
Allah Says in the
Holy Quran Chapter 49 Surah Hujuraat verse 10:
10 The believers are but brothers to one-another: So make peace and reconciliation
between your two (contending) brothers: And fear Allah that ye may receive Mercy.
The term ‘brothers’ in the
hadith implies to all who believe in Allah and the Last Day, male and female;
and thus include one’s real brothers and sisters.
Your Question: is it true that sins are forgiven
when anybody associated nothing with ALLAH(SAWT)?.
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumur verses 53-54:
(O Prophet) say: “O My servants who have wronged their own souls….Do
not despair of Allah’s Mercy!
Surely, Allah forgives all
sins. He indeed is the All
Forgiving, All Merciful. Return to your Lord and submit to Him
before the scourge overtakes you; for
then you may get no help from anywhere.”
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imraan verse 135-136:
Allah likes such good people very much, who, if ever they commit a base deed or wrong
their own soul by the commission of a sin,
remember Allah instantly,
and ask for forgiveness from Him for their shortcomings. For who,
but Allah, can forgive sins? (And Allah loves those) who do not knowingly
persist in the wrongs they did. These
will be rewarded with forgiveness from Allah,
and with Gardens beneath which canals flow, and they will reside therein forever! How excellent is the reward of those who do
good deeds!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verse 54:
When those come to you who believe in Our Signs, say: "Peace be on you! Your Lord had inscribed for Himself (the rule
of) Mercy. Verily if any of you did evil
in ignorance, and thereafter
repented and amended (his conduct),
Lo! He is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful."
Dear and beloved brother, in
light of the guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah, the condition of getting a
major sin forgiven is to turn back to Allah Subhanah in sincere Taubah and
repentance; for that alone is the process to get the major sins forgiven by the
Lord Most Merciful.
Whenever the Messenger of Allah
(saws) gave the good news of a deed or deeds which would get past sins
forgiven, they always imply towards the ‘minor’ sins.
6) in hadith qudsi (hadith no 23) what does this
hadith means?please i request you to explain this ?
Hadith Qudsi 23
The Messenger of
Allah (saws) said that Allah, High and Exalted is He, will Say on the Day of
Judgment: ‘Where are those who love one another through My glory? Today I shall give them shade in My shade, it
being a day when there is no shade but My shade.’
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 1.629 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
The Prophet (saws)
said, "Allah will give shade, to seven (kinds of people) on the Day when
there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons are)
1. a just ruler,
2. a youth who has
been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from
childhood),
3. a man whose
heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the
mosque in congregation),
4. two
persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part
in Allah's Cause only,
5. a man who
refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse
with her and says: ‘I am afraid of Allah’,
6. a man who gives
charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right
hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity),
7. and a person
who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears."
As with all of the above listed
seven categories of fortunate people, a call will be made for them to assemble
and these fortunate people alone will be amongst those who will protected by
the Shade of Allah Subhanah on that Tumultuous Day of Judgment when the sun and
its unbearable heat will be over the heads of all others!
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 2.553 Narrated by Abdullah
bin Umar
The Prophet said,
"On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come near (to the people) to
such an extent that their sweat will reach up to the middle of the ears!”
Amongst those fortunate people
who will be protected from the sun by the Shade of Allah will be two believers
who loved each other, not for any worldly or material reason, but rather only
for the Sake and Glory of Allah Subhanah in their life gone by. In their worldly life, when they met, they
met to further Allah’s Deen and Cause; and when they separated, they separated
to further Allah’s Deen and Cause. Because
the only reason they loved each other was for the Sake and Glory of Allah
Subhanah, such pairs of brothers and friends will be honored and rewarded for
their intentions and their deeds, and invited to be amongst those blessed and
fortunate people who will be protected from the torture of that Tumultuous Day
of Judgment, the duration of which will be 50,000 years!
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.
