Aslamualaykum,
1569. Abu Hurairah (R.A.A.) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Beware of envy because envy consumes (destroys) the virtues just as the fire consumes the firewood,'' or he said "grass.''
(Abu Dawud)
Commentary: Envy is one of the major sins which are bound to destroy virtues as fast as the fire burns the wood and dry grass to ashes.

Hadith of the week
Asalam ualaykum,
1223. Ayesha (R.A.A.) reported: When the last ten nights (of Ramadan) would begin, the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) would keep awake at night (for prayer and devotion), awaken his family and prepare himself to be more diligent in worship.
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary: The entire month of Ramadan is a spring season for virtues, worship and obedience of Allah, but its last ten days are the peak of this season of worship. Therefore, one must strive hard in the last ten days and nights of this month to follow the practice of the Prophet (S.A.W.), to seek the Pleasure of Allah and to attain the benefits of Lailat-ul-Qadr, which occurs during this period. The Prophet (S.A.W.) used to make special arrangement for observing I`tikaf, and we must also follow this practice of his.

Hadith of the week (Can't get no Satisfaction)
Aslamualykum,
23. Ibn 'Abbas and Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "If a son of Adam were to own a valley full of gold, he would desire to have two. Nothing can fill his mouth except the earth (of the grave). Allah turns with mercy to him who turns to Him in repentance".
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary: This Hadith deals with man's greed and his lust for material wealth. Only the person who has a perfect Faith can save himself from it.

Hadith of the week
Aslamualaykum,
1075. Ibn `Umar (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "Islam is based on five (pillars): testifying that there is no true god except Allah and that Muhammad (PBUH) is His slave and Messenger; performing of Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat); the payment of Zakat; performing Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House [of Allah (Ka`bah)]; and Saum (fasting) during the month of Ramadan.''
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Commentary: In this Hadith, Islam has been compared to a building which rests on five pillars. As a building cannot stand without its foundation, similarly, Islam cannot exist without these pillars. For this reason, he who denies any one of these obligations is a disbeliever, and he who neglects any of them due to slackness or want of attention is a sinful and impious Muslim.

Hadith of the week (Believe in Allah)
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.

1043. Jabiru (R.A.A.) reported: The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, "The similitude of the five (obligatory) Salat is like a river running at the door of one of you in which he takes a bath five times a day.''
