Ramadhan Thought - 18


On the authority of Abu Malik al-Harith bin 'Asim al-Ash'ari, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said:

The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said:

"Purification is half of iman (faith).

Saying 'Al-Hamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) fills the scales.

Saying 'Subhanallah wa al-Hamdulillahi' (Exhalted be Allah and Praise be to Allah) fills the space between the heavens and the earth.

Salah (prayer) is a light.

Sadaqah (charity) is a proof.

Sabr (patience) is a shining glory.

The Qur'an is an argument either for you or against you.

Everybody goes out in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves."

(Imam Muslim)
