THREE THINGS, WHICH MUST REMAIN
INVIOLATE
“A Muslim’s honour, property and blood: no
Muslim should violate these things.”
(HADITH)
ONE DOES NOT LOSE BY GIVING
Abu Hurayrah reports this saying of the Prophet:
“Charity does not decrease anyone’s wealth while
forgiveness only increases a man’s honour; God
raises up one who abases himself before his Lord.”
(MUSLIM, SAHIH)
ONE WHO GIVES RECEIVES
“Everyday, two angels visit the servants of God on
earth. One of them prays: “Lord, reward those who
spend,” while the other prays, “Lord, destroy the
wealth of those who withhold.’
(AL-BUKHARI, MUSLIM)
