[الذَّرَّةُ ]- It is one amongst the small ants.
Even good and bad deeds of an ant’s weight will be weighed on the scale on day of resurrection. So in this is a warning (or an important notification) to the servants of Allaah that they do not belittle anything from the good deeds. Indeed, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said, ”Save yourself from hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity”. [Bukhaari 1417]

Lowering one’s gaze is a means to protecting the private parts and not restraining one gaze is a means to corrupting the private parts. Therefore, if you want to protect your private parts from lewdness, lower your gaze. If you leave your eyesight roam about freely – looking at what Allaah has made unlawful- then indeed it will lead you to lewdness.

Amr Bin Thaabit (rahimahullaah) said: When Ali Ibnul Husayn (rahimahullaah) passed away and was being given a bath, they (i.e. those giving him a bath) looked at a black mark that was on his back; so they said, ”What is this (black mark)?” They (i.e. some other people who were present) said, ”He used to carry a sack of flour at night to give to the poor people of Madeenah.”
[Sifatus Safwa: 2/96]
Maalik Ibn Deenaar (rahimahullaah) said, ”The people (i.e. some of them) exit the worldly life without tasting the most tasteful thing in it”; so they (i.e. the people) asked, ‘What is it O father of Yahya?’ He said, ”Knowledge and awareness of Allaah”.

Knowledge and Awareness of Allaah: knowledge and awareness that makes the person accept whatever He (Allaah) has prescribed and laid down, and causes him to submit to that, and to judge by the Prescribed laws which the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) came with…..[For further details see: Translation of the Explanation of the three fundamental principles page 38 – By Ustaadh Abu Talhah Daawud Burbank (may Allaah have mercy on him and his wife.

Ataa Ibn Deenaar (rahimahullaah) narrated from Saeed Bin Jubayr (rahimahullaah) who said: Indeed reverential fear is that you fear Allaah until it becomes a barrier between you and disobedience. This reverential fear is Dhikrul Allaah (Remembrance of Allaah) and obedience to Allaah. Therefore, whoever obeys Allaah is one who (truly) remembers Him, and whoever does not obey Allaah is not one who (truly) remembers Him even if he utters a lot of Tasbeeh (Glorification of Allaah) and recites the Qur’aan a lot.’’

Whoever says [سُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ] a hundred times when he reaches the morning and evening, none will come on the Day of Judgement with anything better than what he comes with, except someone who has said the same as he said or more. [Sahih Muslim 2692]
