The next characteristic of the true servants of the Most Merciful is mentioned in chapter 25 Al Furqan, verse 64: “And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer].” They prove their sincerity towards Allah, the Exalted, by sacrificing some of their sleep and rest in order toContinue reading “PODSERIES: SERVANTS OF THE MOST MERCIFUL – PART 4”

PODTHOUGHT: REJECTED ADVICE
I had a thought which I wanted to share. It is important to note that one should react correctly whenever their advice is not acted on. When the person seeking advice chooses an unlawful decision which contradicts the advice given to them the advisor should show dislike towards their choice as this is a branchContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: REJECTED ADVICE”
PODNEWS: BALANCED SPENDING
I read a news article a while ago which I wanted to briefly discuss. It reported on a celebrity and how they earned and spent their wealth. The Holy Quran has labelled those who are wasteful as the siblings of the Devil. Chapter 17 Al Isra, verse 27: “Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of theContinue reading “PODNEWS: BALANCED SPENDING”
PODHADITH: THE SUPERIOR ONES
In a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, number 4119, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that the best people are those who remind others of Allah, the Exalted, when they are observed. This does not only refer to those who adopt an Islamic outward appearance, such as growing aContinue reading “PODHADITH: THE SUPERIOR ONES”
PODTAFSEER: CHAPTER 2 – AL BAQARAH, VERSES 76-77 – PART 1
“And when they [hypocrites from the people of the book] meet those who believe, they say, “We have believed”…” A sign of hypocrisy is being two-faced.

They speak with many different tonguesContinue reading “PODTAFSEER: CHAPTER 2 – AL BAQARAH, VERSES 76-77 – PART 1”

PODTHOUGHT: TRUE MERCY
I had a thought which I wanted to share. Throughout the Holy Quran and Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, muslims have been advised to be merciful to others. For example, a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 1924, advises that those who show mercy to the creationContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: TRUE MERCY”
PODNEWS: GETTING ALONG WITH PEOPLE
I read a news article a while ago which I wanted to briefly discuss. It reported on interacting in a positive way with one’s colleagues at work in order to function as a team. It is important to understand that Islam does not demand muslims to completely get along with all people. As each personContinue reading “PODNEWS: GETTING ALONG WITH PEOPLE”
