There is something we all know we should do, but in real life many of us don’t, because our hearts are ill. Yes. It is one of the purest forms of acts of ibadah - *Love for Others What You Love for Yourself* 


The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:


 لا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ


“None of you will *have faith* until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”


وفي رواية أخرى قال حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِجَارِهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ


In another narration, the Prophet said, “Until he loves for his neighbor what he loves for himself.” 📚Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 13, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 45


Oh My People!


It is easily said, but sometimes hard to practice, because our selfishness, stinginess, weakedness and ego gets in the way. Yes. It is clear that being able to love for your brother or sister what you love for yourself is a characteristic every true Muslim should train their heart upon.


 *What does this mean?* 


 *Firstly* it is the golden rule to treat others how you want to be treated (husband, wife, neighbours etc).. You don’t want to be backbitten, so don’t backbite others.. *Backbitting* means discussing about someone in his/her absent, in which the person will not like if heard about it😳, yes even if what u discussed about the person is true.. And the sin is even worse if what u discussed about the person is not true.


 *Secondly* it means you place yourself in someone else’s shoes and think: - what would I have desired? And then desire the same for him/her.. Yes.. Imagine if every Muslim would live by this hadeeth,, then most of the problems between people (husband, wife, neighbours etc) would be solved and we would know true brotherhood!


So,


On the ABOVE hadeeth, here are some Tips on Learning How to Love for Others What You Love for Yourself because....

Allah alone knows best.

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 ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
