What is the ruling on this message: "House available, do not miss
out,overlooking three things: 1. the Throne of the Most Merciful, 2.
The palace of the Messenger, 3. The river of al-Kawthar. Location:
Paradise as broad as the heavens and the earth. The price is verylow:
only 12 rak'ahs of Sunnah every day and night.".
Praise be to Allaah.
This message contains fabrication about Allaah and claims to know that
which is known only by Allaah. How does he knowthat the house that is
built in Paradise for its owner will be overlookingthe Throne of the
Most Merciful, the palace of the Messenger (blessings and peace of
Allaah be upon him) and the river of al-Kawthar?
The Throne of the Most Merciful is the roof of all creation and is
above all creation, so how can this house be overlooking it?
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) encouraged
some deeds and promisedhouses in Paradise to those who do them, but he
did not give details of their location or what they overlook.
Moreover, this kind of message is a kind of foolishness which the
scholars have pointed out and warned against beingtempted to publish
them, such as that message which describes the number of rak'ahs of
the prayers as a phone number to contact Allaah, may He be exalted --
Allaah forbid -- or that in which they liken the Hereafter to a
journey on an airline with tickets, seats and other foolish things;
and the pamphlet in which there is information about the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) and they call it the
passport of the Prophet orthe ID card of the Prophet! All of that is a
waste of time and money,and may also be a kind of mockery and making
fun. The aim of those who do that may be bad or it maybe good; we do
not knowthe truth of the matter, but whatever the case it isnot
permissible to publishsuch messages; rather we must beware of them
andwarn others about them.
The number of rak'ahs mentioned in the question refers to the regular
Sunnah rak'ahs.
And Allaah knows best.
