Quotes from hadith-a little insight

Some inspiring quotes I stumbled upon on through a journey called life...i hope there is more to come...'Insha Allah'


Avoid What is Doubtful

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "That which is lawful is clear, and that which is unlawful is also quite clear. Between these two is that which is ambiguous, which most people do not know. One who avoids the doubtful safeguards his faith and his honor."
--------- Riyadh-us-Salaheen, Hadith 588

Good Manners

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "A believer may achieve the status of one who regularly fasts (for religious reasons) during the day and spends the night in prayer, through his good manners."
--------- Riyadh-us-Salaheen, Hadith 629

A Clean Heart

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "No companion of mine should tell me anything bad about another person. For when I meet you, I would like my heart to be clean (unbiased.)"
--------- Riyadh-us-Salaheen, Hadith 1539

Humility

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "(God) has revealed to me that you should adopt humility so that no one oppressess another."

Avoid Jealousy

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "Avoid jealousy, for it destroys good deeds as fire destroys wood."
--------- Riyadh-us-Salaheen, Hadith 1569



A Superior Provision

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once asked Bilal to join in his morning meal. Bilala declined the invitation because he was fast . The Prophet then replied: "We are eating our provision and Bilal's superior provision is in Paradise. Did you know, Bilal, that...the angels ask forgiveness for (someone who is fasting) as long as people eat beside him?"
--------- Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 640

The Essence of Fasting

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "Fasting is not (just abstaining) from eating and drinking, but also from vain speech and foul language. If one of you is being cursed or annoyed, he should say: 'I am fasting, I am fasting.' "
--------- Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 3, Number 132A

Fasting Brings Forgiveness

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from God, all his previous sins will be forgiven."
--------- Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 3, Hadith 125

Fast for God

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to say when he broke his fast: "O God, for Thee I have fasted and with Thy provision I have broken my fast."
--------- Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 978

Felicity

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "If you are given health and security from evil in this world and the next, you have attained felicity."
--------- Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 781

Say What is Good OR Keep Quite

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said "Anyone who believes in God and the Last Day (of Judgment) should not harm his neighbor. Anyone who believes in God and the Last Day should entertain his guest generously. And anyone who believes in God and the Last Day should say what is good or keep quiet."
--------- Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 47

  2. I think that, however diverse and different we humans all appear to be...we all share one common goal-DEEP INNER HAPPINESS.

    However with so many obstacles, illusions of the dunya, most of us find it difficult to reach this goal and are left blinded by the cold bitterness that grows inside a heart that was once born with warmth and vitality...

    I hope we can help people by remindind each other about the beuty of the hadiths and quran that our beloved Prohpet(s.a.w)and his companions have left behind...to make our lives more enriched and restored...

    ALLAH ONLY WANTS THE TRUE BEST FOR US-SHAYTAN BLINDS US WITH FALSE ILLUSIONS THAT FOR A SHORT WHILE LEAVE US TEMPORARALY HAPPY BUT IN THE LONG RUN, EMPTY AND LOST...

    May Allha guide us all to the straight path...INSHA ALLAH
