Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

803. Hazrat ‘Amr bin Shuaib (R.A.A.) relates on the authority of his father and grandfather, that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: ‘Allah is pleased to see the effect of His blessing on His servant.’
(Imam Tirmizi has reported this tradition, which he says is authentic.)

Commentary: A simple dress is commendable if one wears it as a gesture of humility wining Allah's Pleasure. Yet, to zealously pursue the goal of goodness, to extend a helping hand to the indigent and the needy, to behave favourably towards one's relatives and to wear a fine dress as a manifestation of Allah's Favours are equally good acts of high merit. A fine dress is not impeachable in itself but it becomes so, if worn with an air of arrogance and self-importance. On the other hand, an expression of Divine bounty makes it praiseworthy. In other words, it is the intention which makes an act good or bad. Alongside the practice of the example of Messenger of Allah (PBUH), the sincerity of action and making right intention, therefore, become indispensable.

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

632. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (R.A.A.) says that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said to Ashajj Abd al-Qais: ‘You have two qualities which Allah, the Most Exalted, likes and loves: One is mildness and the other is toleration.’
(Muslim)

Commentary: This Hadith teaches us to adopt a patient, mild and discreet attitude towards others. Moreover, there is a provision for praising somebody in his presence, provided there is no likelihood of his being conceited. The Hadith also provides inspiration for the cultivation of good habits.

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

339. Hazrat Jubair Ibn Mut’im (R.A.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: ‘One who disregards blood ties of kinship, will not enter paradise.’
(Bukhari and Muslim)

Commentary: This Hadith poses a serious threat to those who violate the Divine injunctions of maintaining good ties of kinship. In spite of such a serious warning, this major sin is very common in our present-day society. The purpose of this warning is that Muslims prevent themselves from it. May Allah save us from it.

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

17. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) has declared that: Allah will continue to accept the repentance of His creatures till the sun rises from West (Day of Judgment).
[Muslim]

Commentary: Taubah means returning to Allah from sins. When a person commits a sin, he goes away from Allah. When he repents, he returns to Allah and desires for being pardoned by Him, and getting near Him. This returning towards Him is Taubah. When it is said that `Allah turns towards him', it means that Allah accepts his repentance.
