was afraid that he might put some wicked thoughts
about me into your hearts.”
(AL-BUKHARI, MUSLIM)
CHARITY IS FOR EVERYONE TO GIVE
The Prophet said: “Everyday, when the sun rises,
every joint of the human body has its act of charity
to perform. To make a just settlement between two
men is an act of charity. So is the helping of a man
on to his mount, or the unloading of his baggage, or
just saying a kind word. Every obstacle removed
from another’s path is an act of charity.”
GOD’S FAVOURITE SERVANTS ARE THOSE OF
THE FINEST CHARACTER
Usamah ibn Shurayk tells of how the companions
were sitting so silently in the presence of the
Prophet that it was as if they had birds perched
upon their heads. Just then, certain people came
and asked the Prophet which of God’s servants was
dearest to him. “The one who has the finest
character,” replied the Prophet.
