Should Keep the Community Balanced Through Conveyance.

Nabi Muhammad (epbuh) was a perfectly balanced man.
Too much focus on penalties would make Faith a penal system and would cloud the salvation system of Faith. Also, would lead to a complex in a person of being an "Angel that Guards the Hellfire(s)". Answering the Angels that Guard the Hellfire(s), while on Earth as in a penal system would take away from the work needed to be done to build case with Allah to avoid the Hellfire(s). Earth being Earth is in reality a very important chance for Jannah. It works against the function of "Project Earth" assigned to us by Allah (swt) if Jehanum is imposing rules by the Malaika that are Guards of Hellfire. Then there is no time to get right and build case for return to Jannah. Nabi Muhammad (saws) "balanced" being a Warner with being a Bearer of Good News and Glad Tidings. It is important that we do not be cultivators of desperation as mentioned by the late Hafizul Quran Abdullah Yusuf Ali (may upon him be Allah's peace and blessings). Hafizul Quran Abdullah Yusuf Ali (pbuh) took the duty and burden of Conveyance from Allah (swt) and served in such a way that he left little doubts in the reader's mind of being untrustworthy or untruthful or not sidiqeen. He applied sidiq in perhaps the best place that sidiq could be applied.
Too much focus on the grave would make Faith of no focus in preparations for the Scales of the members of the congregation. Also, would lead to a complex in a person of being an "Angel that Guards the Grave." The entire purpose of mentioning and warning about the Grave is for preparing the Scale of and by each member of the Jumaat. In mentioning the warnings about the Grave to the absence of mentioning the Scales, then the point can become amiss for listeners. Nabi Muhammad (saws) balanced encouragements on visiting the Grave and attending funerals with encouraging getting married and attending weddings in the Hadiths.
Asceticism is too much of an imbalance for a stable Islamic Faith Community in the US and Canada. We do not have the oil revenues to support an Asceticism Faith Policy in the US and Canada. Allah (swt) mentioned Productivity and Righteousness Prophets (epbut) because Salihan and Darasan are a part of Ibadah. The Scales are too out of sight and out of mind. When that is taking place, I have noticed that there is a type of Taqwa, Yaqeen and Ihsan that is missing. While other types are there, other types of those things are missing. A person does not need to sprint or not give thought as to if or when they'd like to do a thing, but complete abandon of normal communal dynamics is an assumption of Favorable Judgment on the Day of Account. I have never been able to make that assumption.
We are also not the Angels that Guard the Heavens. Concerning all 4 sets of the Angelic Beings mentioned in this post, I have to confess that I am at the complete Mercy of Allah (swt) about how any of those encounters with them would play out for me. But "Scales" are too out of sight and out of mind, however, check things out first (making sure it is not a setup) and don't sprint through becoming impulsive but give thought as to whether something works for you, as in a feasibility analysis. But go at the pace that Allah has Given you, and that is in the comfort Provided by Him (swt) in seeking the Nafiyu of Allah (swt). Also, every home or house purchase in all fairness cannot be consider Palatial, Vain, Life of the Dunya.

Excerpt from blog below - "The reason why this is so important a topic is because while Allah (swt) has warned us of the consequences of amassing excessive riches and treasures on Earth, He (swt) has also warned us against being weak and oppressed in plight on Earth...that we have to improve from impoverished positions in life. We are not to be cast out into and feed upon trash, filth, and sewage. We have to keep ourselves, our communities, streams and waterways, etc. clean of filth, sewage, and pollution."

Reflection on Why Hindering is One of the costliest of sins

Bismi Allahi Al Rahmani Al Raheemi.

Aoudhubillahi minal shaitanir rajeemi x ∞³³³¹¹³³².

ASA WR WB to believing Muslim friends.

The Holy Quran can be discussed (only accented by passages that are still of substance and significance in the Kitab for decades) because there are some things that bears repeating at least 4 times in a year. This is one of them that is so unassuming that it seems almost not even worthy of mention but is so packed with powerful Wisdom from Allah (swt) it is about "Hindering" I know that I have mentioned it several times. But think of how many years it has gone without mentioning and also I have a new context in which I am mentioning it now.
People of "True" faith are trying to get back to the Heavens through using the Pillars of Faith...Iman, Zakaat, Sadiq, Salaat, Salaha, etc. 
They are a people that want to be in control of charting the course of their destiny to Allah (swt). In addition, they are people that want to stack and multiply as much good as they humanly can for their Scales of Judgement.
So, this is the reason why "Hindering" from the Paths of Allah (swt); the Paths of Righteousness; and the Paths of Productivity are so costly for and to those who hinder. Allah (swt) is saying that all of humanity is in a race whether they understand it or not, and those who hinder innocent people of Faith are essentially attempting to block them from returning to the Kingdom of the Heavens and then enter themselves. But Allah (swt) is saying, "No." to that and is saying that those who hinder are disqualified from the race. That they are not going to be permitted to cultivate the outcome of Hellfire for a person of Faith that would have otherwise charted a course to the Heavens. Hindering is one of the costliest of sins. This is the "Natural Judgement" from the Quran that the Bankruptcy Hadith speaks of. Furthermore, Nabi Muhammed (saws) explains in the Hadith and further expounds the Ayats. When he (saws) explains that all of the good deeds of the ones who hinder are forfeited to the ones that they abused, oppressed, obstructed, shed the blood of, and hindered. And if that is not enough then all of the bad deeds of their victims will accrue to the sins of the hinderers, and if that is not enough to cover the loss caused then the Hellfire of their victims. This is paired with something else. The annoyance passages and our rights against being annoyed. The natural by-product of being hindered is to become frustrated. Say that the person wanted to buy a home that his or her mother could retire in or that he or she wanted to get married to another Muslim of the opposite sex to raise a family. All of that is Halal and are also good deeds. If the person with that niyyat (intention) is hindered for decades they are going to become frustrated. That frustration is annoyance caused by being hindered. Allah (swt) affords us protection against these things in His Supreme Wisdom. Can click any of these graphics to enlarge them.

Hindering

Bankrupt

Annoyance

All Parents are not the same. All Children are not the same.

Jeremiah 31:29 NLT "The people will no longer quote this proverb: 'The parents eat sour grapes, but their children's mouths pucker at the taste.'
Jeremiah 31:30 NLT All people will die for their own sins -- those who eat the sour grapes will be the ones whose mouths will pucker.
Ezekiel 18:2 NLT "Why do you quote this proverb in the land of Israel: 'The parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children's mouths pucker at the taste'?
This is in stark contrast to the hadith, "The Prophet Muhammad said, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him: Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother." ~ (Ahmad, Nasai)
Allah (swt) has said in His Sacred Holy Quran that, "No just estimate have they made of God, such as is due to Him: On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He above the Partners they attribute to Him!" ~ HQ 39:67
In the end it does come to the reality of honor thy mother and thy father or reverence the wombs that bore you, " 12 "Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God will give you." ~ Exodus 20:12 and " O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, His mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence God, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for God ever watches over you." ~ Surahtul Nisa 1
But, conversely it is necessary for parents to honor their children. While it is important for children to honor their parents; it is equally important for parents to honor their children by providing safe environment, great education, deen of Islam, truth of all the scriptures revealed by Allah (God), the best lessons in morals and ethics, healthy diet & nutrition...so that those children have the opportunity to grow up and succeed and reciprocate the nurturing that the parents gave them when the parents reach old age. Children just can not be held in careless ways while parents enjoy immunity in the 5th Commandment of the 10 Commandments. They have a duty to practice Planned Parenting before pregnancies or the bringing of children into this world.
"The mothers shall give suck to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be Treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no blame on them. If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no blame on you, provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms. But fear God and know that God sees well what ye do." ~ HQ 2:233
All in all we can't lose sight of the day when: "At length, when there comes the Deafening Noise,- That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, And from his mother and his father, And from his wife and his children. Each one of them, that Day, will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent to the others. Some faces that Day will be beaming, Laughing, rejoicing. And other faces that Day will be dust-stained, Blackness will cover them: Such will be the Rejecters of God, the doers of iniquity". ~ HQ 80:33-42
