In a Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6579, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, warned that the truly bankrupt muslim is the one who accumulates many righteous deeds, such as fasting and prayer, but as they mistreated people their good deeds will be given to their victims and if necessaryContinue reading “PODHADITH: TWO PARTS OF SUCCESS”

PODTHOUGHT: SUPERIORITY AND SUCCESS

Each muslim irrespective of the strength of their faith believes in the authenticity of the Holy Quran as doubting it would cause them to loseContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: SUPERIORITY AND SUCCESS”

PODNEWS: BEING SUSPICIOUS
