Commentary: This hadith strongly condemns falsehood, whether it relates to a dream or to the real world. It is a great sin in both cases.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1408. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, There are two statements that are light for the tongue to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful: `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim [Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection]'.
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary: This Hadith affirms that man's actions carry weight. On the Day of Judgement, his actions will be cast into the Balance. At that time Allah will endow these actions with weight, or according to some scholars, those records which register man's actions will be weighed. This is quite possible for the reason that Almighty Allah is Capable of weighing things without even their physical form. This discussion apart, when actions will be cast into the Balance, the formula mentioned in the Hadith, the utterance of which is very easy, will prove weighty. Every Muslim should make it a practice to repeat them frequently.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1381. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge."
(Muslim)
Commentary: In this Hadith, knowledge means the knowledge of the religion, that is to say the correct knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith which is acquired without any prejudice of any juristic school. Otherwise juristic prejudice can turn knowledge into great obstruction. May Allah bestow His Mercy on us.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1254. Hazrat Abu Ayub (R.A.A.) states that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: One who observes the fast throughout the month of Ramadhan then followed by fasting on the six days of Shawwal, is as good as if he observed the fast throughout the Year.
(Muslim)
Commentary: He who makes it a permanent feature is like one who observes Saum throughout his life. Allah will consider him as one who observes Saum permanently. Although voluntary in nature, they are highly important. One can observe these six-day Saum at a stretch or with intervals, but their observance one after the other at the beginning of the month is better. Similarly, if a person has missed some Saum of Ramadan due to illness, travelling etc., he should first make up the shortfall and then observe the voluntary six-day Saum of Shawwal.
