Qualities of a Believer

*Qualities of a Believer*

*Tolerance*                                                            A disbelieving Bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat him. God’s Apostle told them to leave him alone, let him finish and poured water over the place where he has passed urine.
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) then explained to the Bedouin calmly, *“This is a place of worship, in it is the worship of God and the reading of Qur’an.”* After the Bedouin had left, the Prophet then said to his companions, *”You have been sent to make things easy (for the people) and you have not been sent to make things difficult for them.”*
(By Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim

*Equality*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for a fair-skinned person over a person with dark skin, nor for a dark-skinned person over a person with fair skin. Whoever is more pious and God-fearing is more deserving of honour.’*(recorded by Musnad Ahmad)

*Gratitude*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘Contemplate those who have less than you and not those who have more than you, lest you belittle the favors of Allah conferred upon you’.*(By Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

*Simplicity*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘What is little but sufficient is better than that which is abundant but causes heedlessness.‘* (By Sahih Ibn Hibban)

*On Humility*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘God has revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one oppresses another and boasts over another.’*(By Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud)

*On Generosity*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘The food of two people is enough for three, and the food of three people is enough for four.’*
(By Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

*Appreciation*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘Whoever does not thank people (for their favours) has not thanked Allah (properly), Mighty and Glorious is He!’*(By Musnad Ahmad, Sunan At-Tirmidhi)

*On Calmness*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said:   *‘Calmness and determination is from God and haste is from Satan.’*
(Sunan At-Tirmidhî)

*On Patience*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘No one can give a better or more abundant gift than patience.’*
(By Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
             
*Perseverance*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said: *‘There is no clement person who has not stumbled, nor is there no wise person who possesses no experience.’*
(By Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Mustadarak Al-Hakim)

*Self-critical*
The Prophet(Peace Be Upon Him) said   *‘Blessed is he who preoccupies himself with his own defects, rather than those of others.’*(By Musnad Al-Bazzar)

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
