Sahih Bukhari (Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz) - 1)

Narrated Abu Dhar, Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said, "Someone came to me from my Lord and gave me the news (or good tidings) that if any of my followers dies worshipping none (in any way) along with Allah, he will enter Paradise." I asked, "Even if he committed illegal s*xual in*******se (adultery) and theft?" He replied, "Even if he committed illegal s*xual in*******se (adultery) and theft.

Have you noticed when you meet a
particular brother or sister for the first
time, you get along with them instantly.
You agree on most things, you feel
comfortable in their presence and most
importantly you talk to them as if you
have known them for years. You even
express yourself in a way that would take
you months or even years with other
people. You don't hold back what you
want to say and can express yourself
freely in their presence.
After meeting them a few times you have
a firm attachment to them and proudly
proclaim them to be your brother or
sister. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi
wasallam) described why this happens.
A'isha (radiallahu anha) narrated that the
Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
“Souls are troops collected together and
those who got along with one another (in
the realm where souls existed before
entering physical bodies in this world) will
have an affinity with one another and get
along (in this world)." (Bukhari, 3158;
Muslim, 2638)
So the brothers and sisters that you love
and cherish in this world are with you for
a reason. You were joined together
before you were born and you exist in
harmony together as brothers in this
world as a result of that attachment.
Al-Khattabi states that people are
attracted to those who are like them and
people’s souls recognise one another
according to their nature. If they are
similar they will get along and if they are
different they will not get along.
Finally this sums things up. Ibn Hibbaan
narrated: "Ibn Abbas saw a man and said,
‘Indeed he loves me.’ His companions
asked, ‘And how do you know?’ He said,
‘Because I love him and souls are like
recruited soldiers, those that recognise
one another unite in harmony and those
that do not recognise one another are at
an aversion.’ (Rawdah Al-Uqalaa, 1/108).
May Allah bless our brothers and sisters
and may we all meet in the gardens of
Jannah under the Shade of Allah.
