Hadith Passages
1) Let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day either
speak good or keep silent, and let him who believes in
Allah and the Last Day be generous to his neighbour, and
let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day be
generous to his guest.
4) One who manages the affairs of the widow and the poor
man is like the one who exerts himself in the way of Allah,
or the one who stands for prayer in the night or fasts in the
day.
Teachings: Islam lays great stress on the welfare of the
community as a whole. It encourages the believers to fulfil
the needs of the vulnerable in society who would struggle
without help. Widows and the poor are specifically
mentioned in the Hadith, but the broader teaching is to help
all people who may be vulnerable. An important teaching
given in the Hadith is that worship is not restricted to just
physical acts of worship but cover every good deed for which
each Muslim will be rewarded.
Implementation: Providing resources for the poor and free
healthcare, supporting widows and orphans so that no one is
left behind and ensuring all are given a fair chance in society,
are some ways in which the teaching of this Hadith can be
practiced.
10) The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give
him peace) said: ‘Whom do you count to be a martyr among
you?’ They said: O Messenger of Allah, whoever is killed in
the way of Allah is a martyr. He said: ‘In that case the
martyrs of my community will be very few! He who is killed
in the way of Allah is a martyr, he who dies a natural death
in the way of Allah is a martyr, he who dies in the plague in
the way of Allah is a martyr, he who dies of cholera in the
way of Allah is a martyr.’
12) The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give
him peace) sent Abu Musa and Mu’adh ibn Jabal to Yaman,
and he sent each of them to govern a part. Then he said: ‘Be
gentle and do not be hard, and cause rejoicing and do not
alienate.’
16) God will not show mercy to him who does not show
mercy to others
18) God does not look at your forms and your possessions,
but he looks at your hearts and your deeds.
Teachings: The only connection between God and His
creation is through taqwa (God consciousness). Whosoever
has more taqwa is closer and honourable in the eyes of God
is the key message of this Hadith. Everything a person has,
their appearance, wealth, family, honour is God given so He
does not take them into account. What He does take into
account is sincerity of intention and He rewards deeds based
on what is in the heart.
19) None of you believes until he wants for his brother what
he wants for himself
