MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “Let those people who boast about their dead ancestors desist; for they are the embers of Hell (1) lest they become more despicable to God than the beetle that rolls up dung with its nose. Indeed, God has cleansed you from the pride and self-praise of the pre-Islamic time (2), so one is only a pious believer or a wretched debauchee. All people are children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust.” Footnotes: (1) Having died as disbelievers. (2) (Jāhiliyyah) literally means ignorance and refers to the pre-Islamic pagan practices, i.e. the fragility of moral values and manners, injustice and commitment of atrocities against humans, animals and the environment. A more general meaning for (Jāhiliyyah) that applies to modern times is: A state that befalls humanity when it steers away from God’s path. ”

Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب البر والصلة باب ما جاء فى السعى على الأرملة واليتيم

حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ السَّاعِى عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ كَالَّذِى يَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَيَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ.

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “The one who provides for a widow (1) or a needy person is like one who strives in the way of God (2) or like one who fasts by day and stands in prayer by night.” Footnotes: (1): or an unmarried woman. (2): Jihād is defined as any earnest striving for the sake of God that promotes righteousness and stands against wrong-doing. If it entails fighting, no woman, child or innocent civilian may be harmed, nor a tree cut down. Islām calls for moderation and tolerance, and abhors and forbids extremism, terrorism, oppression and discrimination. Click on ḥadīth to read more
