DO YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU SEVERE THE TIES OF KINSHIP YOU WILL NOT ENTER JANNAH? 😢
1/ Sometimes we get too busy to remember our relatives, especially if they are poor, non influential & live in villages far from us. Breaking that ties of kinship is a sin that can deny one Jannah.

2/ The scholars unanimously agree that severing the ties of Kinship is a MAJOR SIN, based on the warnings of Allaah (SubhanaHu Wa Ta'ala) & His Messenger, Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Allah The Most High said:
Allah The Most High said:
3/ “Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship?
Such are they whom Allaah Has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their sight”
[Suratu Muhammad 47:22].

4/ The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“No one who severs the ties of kinship will enter Paradise.”
~Imam Muslim in his Saheeh.
These, among many other verses of the Quran & traditions of the Rasool (SAW) point to the importance of this matter.

5/ So many factors today make us abandon this virtue, seldom unwittingly, & end up incurring the anger of our creator. Thus, reminding ourselves as Muslims is always important, how significant it is to upkeep the ties of kinship.
Who is entitled to your kinship?
Who is entitled to your kinship?
6/ Imam Muslim Narrated about a man who asked the Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam):
“O Messenger of Allaah, whom should I honour (most)?”
He said: “Your mother.”
He said: “Then whom?”
He said: “Your mother.”
He said: “Then whom?”
He said: “Your mother.”
He said:
“O Messenger of Allaah, whom should I honour (most)?”
He said: “Your mother.”
He said: “Then whom?”
He said: “Your mother.”
He said: “Then whom?”
He said: “Your mother.”
He said:
7/ “Then whom?” The fourth time he said: “Your father, then the next closest and the next closest.”
Thus, keeping the ties of kinship begins with keeping it with our parent, then our blood brothers & sisters, then uncles, aunts, cousins & so on, based on proximity of kinship.

8/ In al-Saheeh it is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever would like his provision to be increased and his lifespan to be extended, let him uphold the ties of kinship.”
Thus, if one wants to avoid Allah's wrath & enjoy His mercy,
“Whoever would like his provision to be increased and his lifespan to be extended, let him uphold the ties of kinship.”
Thus, if one wants to avoid Allah's wrath & enjoy His mercy,
9/ he or she should never sever the ties of kinship.
Keeping the ties of kinship idnt when you return calls to those who call you, or visit those who visit you, or provide to those who provide you only, No! It is when you keep with who cuts you off, visit who doesn't visit you,

10/ send message, gift & kind words to those who deny you any. That is the real definition of keeping the ties of kinship.
Whenever you remember an uncle or an aunt, pick your phone & say Salam. If you can afford, send some money or gifts. Send clothes or shoes. Do it often.

11/ Remember, do not look down on good virtues. We do not know which single action will please Allah Most. May be, a gift of N5,000 to a poor aunt in thr village may please Allaah more than your entire journey to Umrah or Hajj. Allah accept deeds based on sincerity of purpose.
12/ May we remember the actions that get us closer to Allah more often.
