“For the people of sins there are three great rivers…”
“For the people of sins there are three great rivers with which they purify themselves in this world and if these do not suffice in purifying them, then they are purified in the river of Hell-fire on the Day of Judgement:
I. A river of sincere repentance.
II. A river of good deeds that drowns the sins that surround it.
III. A river of great calamities (that befall the sinner) that expiate (his sins).
Therefore, when Allah intends good for His slave, He enters him into one of these three rivers, so he comes purified and cleansed on the Day of Judgement, not requiring the fourth purification.
And the fourth purification:
The river of Hell-fire on Yawm al-Qiyamah.
So swim in the river of repentance and doing good deeds and have patience in the river of calamities. And do not neglect these before a day comes when you will be drowned in the river of Hell-fire whose fuel is men and stones.”
Madaarij as-Saalikeen 1/312, Ibn al-Qayyim
The three Rivers of Purification
Ibnu-l-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said,
For the people of sins there are three great rivers with which they purify themselves in this world. And if these do not suffice in purifying them, then they are purified in the river of Hellfire on the Day of Judgement:
- 1- River of sincere repentance.
- 2- River of good deeds that drowns the sins that surround it.
- 3- And a river of great calamities that expiate (sins).
Therefore, when Allah intends good for His slave, He enters
him into one of these three rivers, so he comes purified and cleansed on
the Day of Judgement, not requiring the fourth purification.

I don’t mean to brag but my parents are actually so lucky to have me. Most desi girls in my dorm, who have come from some small town in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh, party every weekend, with full on booze drinking with the guys and taken up cigarettes,…possibly also drugs and here I am sitting inside my room, looking at them partying from my bedroom window, as I write up and do research for my dissertation. I can’t help but feel that my parents don’t appreciate me enough.
