Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. There is not in the abandonment of misdeeds and wrongdoing save
the establishment of manhood;
the protection of honor;
the preservation of prestige;
the conservation of wealth - [all matters] which Allah has placed as a foundation for the correction of the Dunya and the Hereafter - the love of creation [for him] and a statement of approval amongst them;
a righteous substinence;
a healthy body;
strength of the heart;
tranquillity of the soul;
happiness of the heart;
a state of pleasure and cheerfulness;
safety from the perils of the sinners and wrongdoers, [and] an absence of purpose, grief, and sorrow;
a sense of honor from the possibility of ignominy and disgrace;
protection for the light of the heart from being extinguished by the darkness of transgression;
the acquirement of an escape from [that matter] which has caused the sinners and transgressors to become depressed and dejected;
the availability of sustenance [for him] from [an avenue] where it was not considered [possible];
the facilitation of [that matter] which has become difficult for the masters of sin and transgression [to obtain];
the facilitation of righteous deeds [for him];
the acquisition of knowledge and beautified praise amongst the people;
an abundant amount of supplication [for him];
a beautified countenance;
the veneration which is cast into the hearts of the people [for him];
their help and protection [for him] whenever he is hurt and oppressed;
their act of defending his honor whenever he is defamed and slandered;
a swift response to his supplication;
the removal of estrangement between [the individual] and Allah;
the proximity of the Angels [towards him];
the distancing of the Shayaateen from amongst the men and Jinn [from him];
a rivalry amongst the people to serve him and fulfil his needs;
their engagement for his love and companionship;
his absence of fear from death;
rather he rejoices in that [matter], for his arrival before His Lord and his encounter with Him [leads to] his fate amongst Him;
the insignificance of the Dunya in his heart;
the importance of the Hereafter amongst him;
his yearning for the Sublime Kingdom, and the lofty success therein;
the sweet taste of obedience;
the love for the sweetness of Imaan;
the supplication of those who carry the Throne, and whosoever surrounds Him from amongst His Angels;
the delight of the Scribes, and their continuous supplication for him;
an increase in intellect, understanding, faith, and comprehension;
his acquisition of the Love of Allah, and His [act] of Turning towards him;
[the attainment] of His Delight for his act of penitence;
this [matter] rewards him with delight and happiness. For there is no connection for [the individual] to His Delight and Happiness by means of wrongdoing, [and] its various types.
Accordingly, these are some of these signs [actualized] by the abandonment of wrongdoing in this world.
When the individual dies, the Angels receive him, and convey upon him the glad tidings of Paradise from his Lord. In addition to [the good news] that no fear or sorrow shall be upon him. He will alter his residence from the prison of this Dunya and its confinement, to a garden from amongst the Gardens of Paradise. He shall experience its delights therein until the Day of Judgment.
When the Day of Judgment [arrives] the people shall be [in a state] of [extreme] heat and perspiration, [however] he shall be in the shade of a Throne. When they depart from before Allah, the Companions of the right-hand shall take him with His God-Fearing allies, and His Victorious Party. Indeed:
"That is the bounty of Allah. He confers it to upon whosoever He desires, and Allah is in possession of the Sublime Bounty." [Surah al-Jumu`ah, Ayah 4]
