DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 20th day of Muharram (Thursday 19th September, 2019).
LOVING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY AS WE LOVE OTHERS. Bismillah.
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The most complete in faith are those best in their characters, those who are easy to socialize with, and those who get along with others and others get along with them. There is no good in the one who cannot get along with others and others cannot get along with him.” [Imam Tirmidhi]. We will all visit the same grave without discrimination on how the grave should be.
A believer worships ALLAH (subhana wa ta’ala) by being well mannered and dealing pleasantly with all, not to attain status or wealth, or for people’s praise, or to get married, etc., but only so that Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) may love him and make him beloved to His creation.
Whoever considers exercising good manners as worship will deal courteously with everyone, be he rich or poor, an executive or a tea-boy, a blood relative or an in-law. If one day a poor cleaner on the street stretches out his hand for you to shake, and then another day a director of some company stretches out his hand, will you treat them in the same way. Will your clasp be equally firm and will you smile at them equally?
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) would certainly have treated them both equally in terms of welcoming them and showering on them sincere conduct and compassion.
Alhamdulillah for blessing us with the best of human example in our beloved Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. May ALLAH keep guiding us and increase us in knowledge of the deen and when our time comes grant us success of Shahaada Aameen.
