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.

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.

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
