Cleanliness in Islam

Image
It is related by Abu Malik Al-Ashari (R.A.) that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Cleanliness is a part of faith. To say "Alhamdulillah" "Praise belongs to Allah" fills the scale, to say "Subhanallah" and "Alhamdulillah" "Glory be to Allah" and "Praise belongs to Allah" fill the space between the heavens and the earth, prayer is a light, sadaqah is a proof (of sincere faith), enduarnce is a shining glory, and the Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out easly and sell themselves, thereby setting against themselves free or destroying themselves." (Muslim) It is related by Abu Hurairah (R.A.) that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "I am like a father to you (in the same way as it is the duty of a father to teach good manners to his children and the proper way in which things are done in life), I tell you that when you sit for answering the call of nature, do not face or turn y...

Fulfilling the promise

Image
Abdullah ibn Abul Hamsa has said: "I bought something from the Prophet (SAW) before he recieved his prophetic commission, and as there was something still due to him I promised him I would bring it to him at his place, but I forgot. When I remembered three days later, I went to that place and found him there. He said, "You have vexed me, I have been here three days waiting for you." (Abu Dawood) Question: The hadith tells us about the importance of fulfilling the promises but the question is that is that the person who made the promise that he would come back with the remaining amount is the person who borrowed it, not the Prophet (SAW). Had the Prophet (SAW) moved from his place, how would it break the promise of the Prophet (SAW)? Answer:  When Abdullah said he would come back to give him the remaining amount, Rasulullah (s.a.w) replied OK. Which means he also made a promise that he would wait for him to come back and give him the remaining amount. and t...
