Hadith of the week

Asalamualaykum,

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

Aslamualaykum,

907. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) visited a bedouin who was sick. Whenever he visited an ailing person, he would say, "La ba'sa, tahurun in sha' Allah [No harm, (it will be a) purification (from sins), if Allah wills].''
(Bukhari)

Commentary: According to this Hadith, a patient should be told that his disease will purge out his sins. To sit beside the sick, to comfort his heart and to say a few words of sympathy to him was the Prophet's practice.

Hadith of the week

Aslamua laykum,



85. Sufyan bin `Abdullah (R.A.A.) reported: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something of Islam which I will not ask anyone else about it.'' He (S.A.W.) said, "Say, `I believe in Allah' and then be steadfast".
(Muslim)

Commentary: Steadfastness means adhering firmly to the injunctions of Islam, to act upon what is ordained and avoid what is prohibited, to perform dutifully orders in respect of obligations and what is regarded desirable and avoid what is unlawful. Faith is not a mere expression of Shahadah. The real Faith is one which is coupled with its actual practice because practice of religion is in fact the fruit of Faith. A tree which does not bear any fruit, has no value, similarly; faith becomes meaningless without practice. Steadfastness is the mark of perfect Faith.

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

522. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) relates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: ‘Plenty of provision or abundance do not make a person rich and wealthy, real richness is the benevolence of the heart.’

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

590. An-Nawwas bin Sam`an (R.A.A.) reported: The Prophet (S.A.W.) said, “Piety is good manner, and sin is that which creates doubt and you do not like people to know of it.”
(Muslim)

Commentary: Islam lays much importance on courteous behavior and also explains and stresses its different aspects. To meet people cheerfully, to avoid causing trouble to them, rather to try to make things convenient and comfortable to them, to do social service, to extend co-operation to others in good things and to be generous, and to like for others also that you like for yourself, are all forms of moral behavior that are counted as virtues in Islam. All that is bad and vicious is considered by Islam as sinful. This Hadith describes two signs of a sin. First, man should feel scruples in committing it. Second, one does not like others being informed about it. The Hadith further tells us that human nature leads man to correct conclusions and keeps him away from evils, provided it has not been deformed by the environment and bad company.

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

481. Ka`b bin `Iyad (R.A.A.) reported: Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "Verily, there is a Fitnah (trial) for every nation and the trial for my nation (or Ummah) is wealth.''
(Tirmizi)
This is an authentic tradition.

Commentary: The word "Fitnah'' means trial. Anything with which a person is tried is a Fitnah for him. For this reason children and property have been regarded Fitnah for mankind in the Noble Qur'an. This Hadith strongly urges the Muslim Ummah to exercise moderation in their love for worldly goods and riches otherwise all these things, which are Gifts of Allah, can become a source of woeful torture for them.

Hadith of the week

Asalam ualaykum,

1382. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "He who calls others to follow the Right Guidance will have a reward equal to the reward of those who follow him, without their reward being diminished in any respect on that account.''

(Muslim)

Commentary: This Hadith has already been mentioned. This Hadith has glad tidings for those who learn the knowledge of religion, teach it and impart it to others.
