Benefits from the Hadith

  1. Whoever dies as a polytheist will enter Hellfire; he will dwell therein eternally if his polytheism is a major one. If his polytheism is minor, on the other hand, he will receive punishment there for as long as Allah wills and then get out of it.
  2. The deeds that matter are the final ones.
  3. Supplication is an act of worship that should be devoted to none but Allah Almighty.
