Allah Guides Whom He Wills
[ALLAH’S Quran – 28:56] “You Muhammad shall not be able to guide to Allah’s path whom you like or to whom you have special affection* but Allah guides to His path of righteousness whom He will and He knows best those who are willing to lift to Him their inward sight.”
The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) has said:
[Bukhari, Book #58, Hadith #223] “ Narrated Al-Musaiyab: When Abu Talib was on his deathbed, the Prophet went to him while Abu Jahl was sitting beside him. The Prophet said, “O my uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, an expression I will defend your case with, before Allah.” Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah bin Umaya said, “O Abu Talib! Will you leave the religion of ‘Abdul Muttalib?” So they kept on saying this to him so that the last statement he said to them (before he died) was: “I am on the religion of ‘Abdul Muttalib.” Then the Prophet said, ” I will keep on asking for Allah’s Forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so.” Then the following Verse was revealed:– “It is not fitting for the Prophet and the believers to ask Allah’s Forgiveness for the pagans, even if they were their near relatives after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire.” (9.113) The other Verse was also revealed:– “(O Prophet!) Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will …….” (28.56)”

Seal Their Hearts
Abdullah B.Umar and Abu Hurairah said that they heard Allah’s Messenger (Way Peace Be Upon Him) say on the planks of his pulpit:
People most cease to neglect the Friday prayer or Allah will seal their hearts and then they will be among the negligent.

I used to pray with the Messenger Of Allah (May Peace Be Upon Him) and both his prayer and sermon were of moderate length.
