The Ones who make Wudhoo`

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “My Ummah will come on the day of judgment, ghur and muhajjileen.” These are two marks that come on horses – ghur is the bright spot on the forehead of the horse, and muhajjileen is a bright spot on the feet of the horse. The Arabs used to consider them to be signs of beauty. It carries a meaning of beauty. What caused these signs of beauty? The wudhoo`.

RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam says, “And on the day of judgment, you will have jewellery according to where the water used to reach.”

There’s another hadith in Muslim, in which the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam went to the cemetery and said, “Peace be upon you, the dwellings of the believers. That’s where there dwelling is now.” Then he said, “InshaAllah we are soon going to follow you. I wish that we can see our brothers.” The sahabah were amazed by this, and they said, “Aren’t we your brothers?” RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “You are my companions. My brothers are the one who did not come yet.” The rest of the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam are the brothers of Muhammad – we are his brothers inshaAllah. Then, RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was asked by the sahabah, “How will you know your brothers when you never saw them?” RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “If there is a man who has horses with the marks of tahjeel, wouldn’t you recognize him among other horses?” The sahabah said, “Yes.” RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “My Ummah will come with these signs and I will recognize them out of all of the people [from the signs of wudhu`]. I will be waiting for my brothers on the pool.”

May Allah combine us with RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam on the day of judgment.
