An Example of Small Effort Embedded with Great sources of Good




“Allah {SWT} has concluded Suratul-Baqara with two ayas, which He gave me from under His throne’s treasure. Therefore, learn them and teach them to your women and children. They are a prayer, a Quran and du’aa.”—{Al-Haakim}

May Allah {SWT} save us from negligence on this great advice of the Prophet {SAW}. Aameen

Maintaining the Bond of Kinship

  “Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship?”_ [Quran 47: 22]   “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him maintain the bonds of kinship.”_(Bukhari)   Out of the Mercy of Allah (SWT), Muslims have been given some measure of freedom in certain aspects of life and worship. And at the same time, Allah (SWT) has made certain things obligatory. He who knows this distinction and acts according to it is a person of knowledge and faith. But for a lot of people, a challenge occurs when something is obligatory but is quite easy to dismiss its importance because it has less to do with rituals of worship like daily prayers, Zakat and fasting in Ramadan.

    In an authentic hadith from Sunan al-Tirmidhi ̄, a man asked the Prophet an important question that clarifies how to rely on Allah (SWT) as the Almighty Lord Who has Power over all things.

The Day of Judgement Is the Day of Justice

    Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Allah will gather the servants naked, uncircumcised, and destitute.”   We said, “What is destitute?” The Prophet said, “They will have nothing with them. A heavenly caller will announce with a voice from afar: I am the King. It is not befitting for anyone from the people of Paradise to enter Paradise while anyone from the people of Hellfire is seeking redress for injustice. It is not befitting for anyone from the people of Hellfire to enter Hellfire while anyone from the people of Paradise is seeking redress from injustice.” I said, “How is it so? We only come to Allah naked and destitute.” The Prophet said, “It is by their good and evil deeds.”   Source: al-Adab al-Mufrad 970    Graded: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani
