Trivial deeds High Value in God's eyes

There are practices which looks like a trivial but in the eyes of God high value, so that can cause a person to enter heaven. There is also a practice that was apparently trivial but could cause people to hell. This is told in the books 'small' is often studied and read in the pesantren-pesantren.

It is told that when Hujjat al-Islam Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Muhammad al-Gazali (Imam Ghazali) died, there was a scholar to see his dream. His name mimipinya clergy is different from our dreams, we are, our dreams, we are most of the flowers to sleep alone, while the dream of a scholar is a dream come true (al-ru'yah al-shadîqah).

In the dream of him, he asked the Imam al-Ghazali, "Did the priest go to heaven or hell? "Heaven" replied al-Ghazali. Then, the cleric asked, "Does that cause you to go to heaven? Is it because of the many works that you write? Is it because you are diligent tahajud and other worship? Is that your defense against Islam and the triumph of the Muslims? "Al-Ghazali calmly replied," No, not because it was all I go to heaven "" And what caused you to go to heaven? "Asked the priest with great curiosity. Al-Gazali also explained, that he entered the heaven by Allah, because during his life, when al-Ghazali wrote the book, there are thirsty to drink the ink fly, without the knowledge of al-Gahzali. Because the goodness to let fly thirsty to drink ink, although he did not know, God put it into heaven. This is because the ink was thirsty fly drunk, given by al-Gazali accidentally genuinely to the fly. So righteous deeds seem trivial if done genuinely meant it in the eyes of God. And can cause a person to enter heaven.

There is also a story about the deeds that seem trivial but it can cause a person to go to hell. Previously there was supposedly a diligent prayer, fasting and worship others. These people take cooking in the kitchen. Without deliberately and without his knowledge, there is a cat locked in the kitchen, can not open, until the cat died. As a result of this trivial carelessness, the person is rejected in heaven. And Allaah knows best bi al-shawab. (AM)
