Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

240. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: ‘One who covers up the failings of somebody in this world, will have his short-comings covered up by Allah on the Day of Judgement.’
[Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: Covering up the shortcomings and faults of people is an excellent manner. That is why this quality is very much liked by Almighty Allah. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will give a matching reward to that man who has such a quality, which means that Allah will forgive his sins and will not call him to account for his sins. If at all He will do so, He will not do it publicly so that he is not embarrased before others. Then Allah may forgive him or send him to Hell for a short while.

Salams,

**Send/Tell this to people, so as one ummah, we may benefit. Insha’Allah.

Aslamualaykum (my first post!)

Aslamualaykum to all. This blog is solely intended for the sake of pleasing Allah (SWT) by spreading his bountiful knowledge. InshaAllah we may benefit from His knowledge given to us through the Qur’an and sunnah.

For those viewers who may not be familiar, Islam is based on the teaching of the glorious Qur’an and authentic traditions and sayings of the prophet (S.A.W.). The Qur’an dates back 1400+ years ago, transcended through our beloved Prophet (S.A.W.). It is the word of Allah (God) the All Wise, the All Mighty.

The Sunnah is the second source of Islamic jurisprudence, the first being the Qur'an. Both sources are indispensable; one cannot practice Islam without consulting both of them.

In the Qur’an it reads in Chapter 4:Verse 59: O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger and those of you who are in authority; and if you have a dispute concerning any matter, refer it to Allah and His Messenger if you believe in Allah and the Last Day; that is best and more suitable to the end.

In other words, to obey our Prophet (S.A.W.) is to obey Allah. For the purposes of this blog only authentic (qudsi/saheh) hadiths will be used. Most hadiths I use are from Riaydh-us Saleheen.

In ALL of Allah's control He has ways of conveying His signs and messages. Allah can't come in tangible form, but He may convey through knowledge. InshaAllah we may prosper from this knowledge.

InshaAllah these hadiths will be posted every week. Please forgive me, if the posting are not punctual. Aslamualaykum
