Exams:Duas please!
:salam2:
This has been bugging me for a while. I just don't understand.
I've heard 2 stories:
1- A prostitute gives a thirsty dog some water. She subsequently gets admitted to heaven,
2- An otherwise very pious man, does not get admitted to heaven as his sin was to be slightly mean to his mother. He dies a very painful death.
Does anyone know the stroies I am talking about? I think they're in hadith...
Anyway, I'm confused. Surely Number.2 is the better muslim? why does he suffer because of one vice? Allah is Oft-forgiving, after all. Why did the prostitute, living a life of sin, get forgiven for one small deed, whilst the man, living a life of piousness, get into trouble?
Any help?
