Who will be destitute on Judgement Day?
The Holy Prophet (Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) once asked his companions (Radi allahu ta'ala anhu) , ‘Do you know as to who a destitute person is?’ They replied, ‘Ya Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) the one who does not have wealth is a destitute.’ He (Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, ‘The destitute in my Ummah is the one who will be brought on the Judgement Day with Salah, fasts and charity (in his book of deeds) but would have abused and accused someone, he would have taken wealth unlawfully and shed blood (or) beaten someone and as a result of these sins, his good deeds
will be taken from him. If he runs out of good deeds and there are
still claimants (against
him), he would have to take the sins of the oppressed (people) and
would resultantly be
thrown into Hell.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp.
1394, Hadiš 2581)
