PODHADITH: DRAWING NEAR
In a Divine Hadith found in Sahih Muslim, number 6833, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that whoever does a good deed will have a minimum of ten times reward. Throughout Islamic teachings different amounts of reward have been declared for performing righteous deeds. Some teachings advise ten times rewardContinue reading “PODHADITH: DRAWING NEAR”
PIETY – PART 5 OF 6
The next aspect of piety is that a muslim should learn to avoid those things which do not concern them. In fact, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that a muslim cannot achieve excellence in faith until they behave in this manner. This is confirmed in a Hadith found inContinue reading “PIETY – PART 5 OF 6”
PODHADITH: BELIEVERS ARE MIRRORS
In a Hadith found in Sunan Abu Dawud, number 4918, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that believers are like mirrors to each other.

PODSERIES: TRUTHFULNESS – PART 2 OF 18
The last blog was discussing the importance of truthfulness in sincerity. It is better for a muslim, whenever possible to keep their righteous deeds a secret. This is a characteristic of the one who acts sincerely for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. The only exception to this is when one desires to set anContinue reading “PODSERIES: TRUTHFULNESS – PART 2 OF 18”
PODTHOUGHT: EFFECTS OF INTENTION
I had a thought which I wanted to share. I was pondering over one of the main reasons why people who do good things, such as buying gifts for others, do not receive the same level of respect and love from people than some who do not do these things. This outcome occurs as aContinue reading “PODTHOUGHT: EFFECTS OF INTENTION”
