In this series, I will try to post hadiths which tell us about good deeds and manners we should do and follow respectively in our daily life, as a human being.
Today's Hadith
This message is very straightforward. The prophet (PBUH) declared clearly that those who sever the bond with his/her kith and kin (blood-related) won't enter paradise.
In Islam, the relationship between relatives, especially blood relatives is valued very high. Something, for simple earthly matters we attempt to break such relationship. Sometimes to make a new relationship ( for girlfriend or boyfriend) we dare to break the relationship with our closest relative, even parents. Nobody will appreciate such acts. And if, before our death, we can't correct our mistakes and get a pardon from our relatives, we can't go to paradise.
There are other similar hadiths on the same issue.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Who ever is pleased that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be pro longed, then he should keep good relations with his Kith and kin."
In this hadith, we see that to gain more wealth and to live a long life, we should keep a good relationship with our kith and kin.
