Introduction
Virtues of Knowledge:
Allah the Exalted says:
“ And say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.” (20:114)
“ Are those who know equal to those of you who do not know?” (39: 9)
“Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge.” (58:11)
“ It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.” (35:28)
Narrated Mu’awiyah رضي الله عنه Allah ‘s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “When Allah wishes good for someone, He bestows upon him the understanding of religion.” [Al-Bukhari&Muslim]
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “A person who follows a path for acquiring knowledge, Allah will make his way to the Paradise easy” [collected by Muslim]
Commentary:
Knowledge and understanding of Din (i.e. Islam) here stands for the understanding of the Qur’an and Hadith, Islamic injunctions, and knowledge of the lawful & the unlawful. This Hadith highlights the excellence of knowledge and the fact that it is a sign of Allah’s Help to the person who possesses it and acts accordingly.
1-فضل السلام والأمر بإفشائه
عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما أن رجلا سأل الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم أي الإسلام خير؟ قال: "تطعم الطعام، وتقرأ السلام على من عرفت ومن لم تعرف" رواه البخاري ومسلم
1-Superiority of Greeting (Asslam) and Recommending its Spreading
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr رضي الله عنه : A man asked Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم “Which act in Islam is the best?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied “To give food, and to salute everyone, whether you know them or not.” [by Al-Bukhari & muslim]
Commentary:
Asslam(peace) is one of the names of Allah. To say Asslam (peace be upon you) means that you are in the protection of Allah, as Allah be with you or in your company. To feed the poor and the destitute is an act of goodness, and the fulfillment of the needs of the indigent is of the same order. Greeting everybody (saying ‘As-Salamu ‘Alaikum’), whether an acquaintance or a strange, is a good quality too. Both these acts generate mutual love and remove hatred & ill-will from hearts. All other ways of greeting are no substitute for Islamic way of greeting.
There are three forms for Asslam:
1-Asslamu alaykum (peace be upon you)
2-Asslamu alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah (peace & mercy of Allah be upon you.
3-Asslamu alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatuh(peace , mercy and blessing of Allah be upon you)
The best form to be much rewarded is the complete one.
Instructions:
1-Delivering Asslam is sunnah (optional) but its response is obligatory.
2-Good morning or good afternoon is not the Islamic greeting .
3-We should greet whom we know and whom we do not know.
4-It is permissible to greet by gesture while uttering Asslam(if the other person cannot hear you)
5-We should start phone talk with Asslam.
6-We would say Asslam when we are leaving.
7-Promoting feeding & greeting.
[color=darkblue]2-طيب الكلام وطلاقة الوجه
عن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه قال:قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:"لا تحقرن من المعروف شيئا، ولو أن تلقى أخاك بوجه طلق"رواه مسلم
[size=12]2-Politeness of Speech & Kindness of Meeting
Narrated Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه : Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Do not disdain a good deed, (no matter how small it may seem) even if it is your meeting with your (Muslim)brother with a cheerful face.” [Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith guides us that a Muslim should not scorn what ever Islam teach us to do even little things. A Muslim should meet his Muslim brothers happily & smilingly, though it may appear quite insignificant to some people, because it is said that the appearance always reflects the essence. Therefore, meeting your brothers happily & cheerfully leads to their happiness and love for the sake of Allah. Now,one can feel the importance Islam gives to moral values and good manners.
Instructions:
Not to look down upon the good even little things.
Using cheerfulness and flexibility with friends & brothers.
Motivation of what makes the Islamic brotherhood bondage stronger.
Cheerfulness in front of your brothers is required (good).
3-العفو والتسامح
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها أنها قالت : "ما خير رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين أمرين إلا أخذ أيسرهما ما لم يكن إثما ، فإن كان إثما كان أبعد الناس منه ، وما انتقم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لنفسه إلا أن تنتهك حرمة الله فينتقم لله بها:"رواه البخاري ومسلم
3-Forgiveness and Tolerance
Narrated by Aishahرضي الله عنها “Whenever Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was given a choice between two matters , He would choose the easier course as long as it was not sinful to do so; but if it was sinful ,he was most strict in avoiding it. Allah’s Messenger never took revenge upon anything for his own sake; but when Allah’s Legal Bindings were violated, he would take revenge for Allah’s sake. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Commentary:
In this Hadith, there is evidence of ease and tolerance of Islam. Prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم always recommends the better choice unless it entails guilt(sin), thereupon he usually selects the right path. Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم never took revenge for himself as he pardoned the Arabian (Bedouin) who shouted at him and the other one who strongly pulled his garment hurting his shoulder. This is a self-evident proof of the Prophet’s forgiveness (pardon) except when the law of Allah is violated.
Instructions:
1-Show of Islam as a religion of ease and tolerance in all matters unless it is a guilt.
2-Pardon and tolerance lead to harmony and brotherliness among Muslims.
3-Following Prophet Mohammed صلى الله عليه وسلم as a model example for pardon, tolerance, and patience.
4-A Muslim who pardons and tolerates others is greatly rewarded by Allah the Almighty.
5-Pardon and tolerance relates to public rights but not to Divine Rights.
6-Pardon & tolerance are not motivated by inability and weakness but by the desire for Allah’s reward.
7-No reaction with evil is not a part of such pardon & tolerance.
4-حسن الخلق
عن عبد الله بن عمرو رضي الله عنهما قال: " لم يكن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فاحشا ولا متفحشا ، وكان يقول: " إن من خياركم أحسنكم أخلاقا " . رواه البخاري ومسلم
4-Morality
Abdullah bin Amr رضي الله عنه reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was neither a fahish (one who speaks bad words) nor a mutafahish (one who speaks obscene evil words to make people laugh), He صلى الله عليه وسلم never used bad language. He صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say “the best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character”. [by Al-Bukhari @ Muslim]
Commentary:
There is an evidence in this Hadith that our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was very polite and well-mannered. He صلى الله عليه وسلم does not speak bad words nor does he speak obscene evil words to make people laugh. Obscene manners are everything that are excessive till it becomes disgusting. This includes words, deeds, and attributes. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said “Allah does not like obscene and immoral people”.
Instructions:
1-The greatness of Islamic Laws, as Islam calls for morality such as avoidance of harm, keeping smiling, and doing good.
2-Adherence to virtuous and avoidance of immorality.
3-Morality makes you closer to the status of our prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in doomsday.
4-To respect Muslims and to treat them kindly is an aspect of morality.
5-Morality makes you favorable to Allah.
6-Top people have the best moral.
5-وجوب محبة المسلم لأخيه
عن أنس رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:"لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى يحب لأخيه ما يحب لنفسه" رواه البخاري ومسلم
5-Muslims Must Love Each Other
On the authority of Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said “ None of you would be a truly believer until he wishes for his Muslim brother what he wishes for himself” [ Al-Bukhari&Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith teaches us that we must love our brothers in Islam for the sake of Allah. We should do whatever our brothers wish on condition that it is allowed in Islam. This Hadith calls for equality and modesty. Love among Muslims cannot be achieved until we keep ourselves free from envy, hatred, and cheating.
Insructions:
To wish and hate for your Muslim brother like what you do for yourself is part of your perfect faith .
Envy and hatred cause the lack of faith.
To guide your Muslim brother to the good and to keep him away from injustice is part of the love for the sake of Allah.
Warning against selfishness (i.e. to wish everything good for yourself but not for others).
6-تحريم التباغض والتحاسد
عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:" لاتباغضوا ولا تحاسدوا ولا تدابروا وكونوا عباد الله إخوانا ولا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاثة أيام" متفق عليه
6-Prohibition of Hatred and Envy
Anas bin Malik narrated that Allah’s messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Do not hate one another, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert each other, and O’ Allah’s worshippers! Be brothers. It is not permissible for any Muslim to desert(doesn’t talk to) his Muslim brother for more than three days”. [Bukhari & Muslim]
Commentary:
In this Hadith, our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم guides us to what we ought to be as Muslim brothers characterized by love, harmony, sympathy and courtesy conducive to honorable morals keeping us away from bad morals keeping our hearts free from hatred and malice and leading us to treat each other with Islamic polite conduct (behavior). This Hadith also indicates that Islam makes the brotherhood relationship stronger than blood and kinship relationships since it is based on faith in Allah. Hence a Muslim is not permitted to desert his Muslim brother for more than three days unless there is a divine reason so that the deserted can hopefully go back to reason.
Instructions:
1-Prohibition of hatred, envy, backbiting and abandonment.
2-Prevention of harming any Muslim in any way.
3-Prohibition of forsaking a Muslim brother over three days.
4-Motivation brotherliness and familiarity among Muslims.
7- حفظ اللسان واليد من التعدي
عن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال: "قلت يا رسول الله، أي الإسلام أقضل؟ قال: من سلم المسلمون من لسانه ويده". رواه البخاري
7- Keeping Tongue and Hand from Offense
Abu Musaرضي الله عنه narrated that he asked Allah’s Messenger صلىالله عليه وسلم:whose Islam is the best? (i.e. who is a good Muslim?) the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, “One who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands.” [Al-Bukhari]
Commentary:
In this Hadith, there is an evidence for keeping our tongues from harming Muslims by all means. The tongue is specified because it is the part that can express about the heart.
Also, it is an evidence for keeping the hand from harming Muslims. The hand is mentioned here because most actions are done by the hands.
Instructions:
1-No transgression of others’ rights even little rights
2-The best among Muslims are those who avoid harming others.
3- Not cursing anybody
4-Mentioning something that people do not like is harmful.
5-Avoiding reporting what causes enmity and division among friends
6-Warning against taking anything from others unless you take a permission
8- الترغيب في الصدق والتحذير من الكذب
عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال:قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم "إن الصدق يهدي إلى البر،وإن البر يهدي إلى الجنة، وإن الرجل ليصدق حتى يكتب عند الله صديقا،وإن الكذب يهدي إلى الفجور، وإن الفجور يهدي إلى النار، وإن الرجل ليكذب حتىيكتب عند الله كذابا" متفق عليه
8-Endearment of Truthfulness & Caution from Falsehood
Narrated Ibn Masaud رضي الله عنه :Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Truth leads to piety and piety leads to Paradise. A man persists in speaking the truth till he is recorded with Allah as a truthful man. Falsehood leads to transgression and transgression leads to Hell-fire. A man continues to speak falsehood till he is recorded with Allah as a great liar”. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Commentary:
In this Hadith, there is a sign that a person who seeks truth in his words, truthfulness will be his own characteristic. And a person who seeks falsehood and tells lies intentionally, the falsehood will be his characteristic. Therefore, good and evil attributes are continually
gained by practice and acquisition. This Hadith is also evidence of magnificent truth conducive to Paradise. It is also evidence of the great danger of falsehood conducive to the Hell-fire.
Instructions:
1-Truth is among the good morals that Islam calls for.
2-Islam instructs that a person’s words must reflect his beliefs.
3-Truth is one way leading to Paradise.
4-A believer characterized by truth is beloved by Allah and people.
5-Guiding colleagues and friends that truth is the way to salvation from the Hell-fire.
6-Telling lies is a bad habit that Islam forbids.
7-It is a duty to advise liars to stop falsehood.
8-Falsehood is one way leading to the Hell-fire.
9-تأثير الأصدقاء على الإنسان
عن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ((إنما مثل الجليس الصالح وجليس السوء، كحامل المسك، ونافخ الكير، فحامل المسك، إما أن يحذيك، وإما أن تبتاع منه، وإما أن تجد منه ريحاًطيبةً، ونافخ الكير، إما أن يحرق ثيابك، وإما أن تجد منه ريحاً منتنة)) .متفق عليه
9-The Influence of Friends on their Friend
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari رضي الله عنه: I heard Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, “ The similitude of good company and that of bad company is that of the owner of musk and of the one blowing the bellows. The owner of musk would either offer you some free of charge, or you would buy it from him, or at least you would smell its pleasant odour` ; and as for the one who blows the bellows(i.e., the blacksmith), he would either burn your clothes or at least you shall have to smell a repugnant smell.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith enjoins that one should sit in the company of the pious persons and avoid the impious ones because the former has the quality of a perfume seller and the latter of a blacksmith. In the association of pious men, one stands to gain all the time and ultimately becomes like them. In bad company one is out-and-out a loser and can never hope to gain any benefit from them.
Instructions:
1-Interest of Islam in guiding Muslims to the pious people gatherings.
2-A human being is influenced by his friend whether good or bad.
3-Care for the company of good people
4-Pious people help a person to do the good and avoid the bad.
5-A Muslim should avoid those of bad habits such as leaving prayers, smoking, etc.
10-الدلالة على خير والدعوة إلى هدى أو ضلالة
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " من دعا إلى هدى كان له من الأجر مثل أجور من تبعه لا ينقص ذلك من أجورهم شيئاً، ومن دعا إلى ضلالة كان عليه من الإثم مثل آثام من تبعه لا ينقص ذلك من آثامهم شيئاً" رواه مسلم
10- Calling to Right Guidance and Forbidding Depravity
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “If anyone calls others to follow right guidance, his reward will be equivalent to those who follow him (in righteousness) without their reward being diminished in any respect on that account; and if anyone invites others to follow error, the sin, of which he is guilty, will be equivalent to those of the people who follow him (in sinfulness) without their sins being diminished in any respect on that account.” [Muslim]
Commentary:
‘Invitation’ and ‘Call’ stand to mean here that someone induces others to virtue or seduces them to sin by means of his speech or action. We come to know from this Hadith that one who becomes a medium for either of them is given a reward or punishment respectively by Allah.
Our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said also “ Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good deed.”
Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم here arouses the interest of his ‘Ummah’ (i.e.,his people,Muslims) in doing good and calling others for it. And when a Muslim calls others for the good ,s/he will get a great reward from Allah . Also, when a person calls, helps, encourages others to commit a sin, s/he will be given the same punishment.
Instructions:
1-Excellence and urging of guiding to the good
2-The given reward of the guide will be exactly the same as the rewards of the followers.
3-A severe threat is for those who call people for a heresy or a delusion which is a reason for deviating of people from what is right.
I will continue inshaAllah.

Asalamu alaykum!
1-الإخلاص في العمل
عن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال :سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:((إنما الأعمال بالنيات ,وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى :فمن كانت هجرته إلى دنيا يصيبها ,أو إلى امرأة ينكحها ,فهجرته إلى ما هاجر إليه)) رواه البخاري
1-Acting with Sincerity
Umar ben Al-khattab رضي الله عنه said: I heard Allah’s messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: “The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrates for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration will be for what he emigrated for” [Al-Bukhari]
Commentary:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said this Hadith on the occasion of someone’s emigration from Makkah to Al-Madina which was not for the sake of the Islamic cause but to marry a woman who had stipulated that he should emigrate if he wanted to marry her. Anyhow, this Hadeeth implies a general principle,i.e. one is rewarded for his deeds according to his real intentions and not according to his actual deeds which might be good in themselves but were motivated by an ill intention.
Instructions:
1-Intention is the base of any work in Islam .
2-If your intention is sincere (i.e.to please Allah), and your work is true (i.e., to follow the Prophet’s ways), Allah will accept it .
3-A Muslim is rewarded for all his worldly deeds if his intention is true,all his deeds are kinds of worshiping Allah sincerely such as a teacher while teaching, a student while studying,an employee while working,a businessman when trading,all those persons are worshiping Allah faithfully if their intentions are true,i.e,for the sake of Allah.
4-If a Muslim intends to do good work ,but he cannot do it , he will be rewarded for his good intention .
5-The true intention for the sake of Allah is a cause for one’s success in this life and in the hereafter .
2-التعاون بين المؤمنين
عن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه قال :قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم (( المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضا )) وشبك بين أصابعه . متفق عليه
2-Cooperation Among Muslims
Narrated Abu Musa رضي الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: (( A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other )) The Prophet then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced. [By Al Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلمis comparing the believers who cooperate and help each other to a building whose different parts support each other. Because a building cannot be complete and nobody can make use of it unless its different parts hold and strengthen each other; otherwise, its walls will crack and the whole building will fall down. Also,it is so difficult for a Muslim to practice his religious rituals and to spend his daily life without the help and the cooperation of his Muslim brothers;otherwise, he may fail in his life. But Allah knows best.
Instructions:
1-It is good to use examples such as ( the building ) to clarify the meaning and to make the image very close to our minds.
2-Cooperation among Muslims strengthens their faith and makes them very strong.
3-Urging and activating cooperation among Muslims.
3-تحريم العقوق وشهادة الزور
عن أبي بكرة رضي الله عنه قال :قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ((ألا أنبئكم بأكبر الكبائر ،ثلاثا.))قلنا،نعم.قال((الإشراك باالله،وعقوق الوالدين،وشهادة الزور،(أو قول الزور))) وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم متكئا فجلس. فما زال يكررها حتى قلنا :ليته سكت. متفق عليه
3-Prohibition of Disobedience of Parents
and False Witness
Narrated Abu Bakraرضي الله عنه : The Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم said thrice , “Should I inform you about the greatest of the great sins ?” They said , Yes , O Allah’ s Messenger ! He said , “(1) To join others in worship with Allah , (2) To be undutiful to one’s parents .” The Prophet then sat up after he had been reclining (on a pillow ) and said , “(3) and I warn you against giving a lying speech (false statement)”, and he kept on saying that warning till we thought he would not stop. [Bukhari&Muslim]
Commentary:
There are many great sins and the major one is to associate partners with Allah in His Actions, or in worship, or in His Names, or in His Attributes. The Messenger started with this sin because it is the greatest sin in Islam. Then, he mentioned the disobedience of parents which is a great sin and Allah threatened those people who disobey their parents with severe punishment. A Muslim must honor his parents because they sympathetically took care of him/her since childhood and Allah ordered us to be dutiful to them and He forbade us from disobeying them in the following verse:
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him .And that you be dutiful to your parents .If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life ,say not to them a word of disrespect ,nor shout at them but address them in terms of honor.
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say:”my Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small”. *
*Surah 17. Al-Isra’:: 23,24
A Muslim must listen, obey, and respect his parents because obeying them is a duty unless they order you to do a sin. Another prohibited deed is to give a false statement and to turn away from saying the truth intentionally .The Prophet was much concerned to tell his companions about giving a lying speech or a false testimony because it is so easy for a tongue to slip and people do not always care much for this dangerous sin .This great sin has many reasons such as malice, enmity,etc.The Prophet repeated this warning till the companions thought he would not stop. Therefore Muslims should care much not to commit one of the great sins which lead to the anger and punishment of Allah.
Instructions:
1-Directed guidance and advice of the messenger to his companions.
2-Prohibition of associating partners with Allah as well as disobedience of parents.
3-Forbidding telling lies and false testimony.
4-Kind sympathy of the companions with our Messenger and keeping away from annoying him.
4-تحريم العقوق وشهادة الزور
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ((آية المنافق ثلاث :إذا حدث كذب ،وإذا وعد أخلف، وإذا أؤتمن خان )) .رواه البخاري
4-The Signs of a Hypocrite
Narrated Abu Hurairaرضي الله عنه , the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid “The signs of a hypocrite are three:
1-Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
2-Whenever he promises, he always breaks it(his promise)
3-If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest” (e.g.If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it)). AlBukhari
Commentary:
This is a warning for Muslims against these three habits which lead to hypocrisy. This becomes clear when we know the story of a man called ‘Thaalabah about whom Allah said:
((And of them are some who made a covenant with Allah (saying):If He bestowed on us of His Bounty,we will verily ,give Sadaqa(zakat and voluntary charity in Allah s Cause) and will be certainly among those who are righteous.))
((Then when He gave them of His Bounty, they became niggardly {refused to pay the Sadaqa (zakat or voluntary charity)}, and turned away ,averse.))
((So He punished them by putting hypocrisy into their hearts till the Day whereon they shall meet Him, because they broke that (covenant with Allah) which they had promised Him and because they used to tell lies)). *
This man became a disbeliever because of breaking his promise and telling lies. Therefore, this Hadeeth is to warn people from adopting these bad manners that result in real hypocrisy.
* Surah 9 . At-Tauba :75,76,77
Instructions:
1- Islam is so great that it rejects the bad habits and the mean manners such as telling a lie, breaking a word, and cheating,etc.
2-Caution against hypocrisy because it is worse than disbelief (kufr ).
3-Not adopting any hypocritical attributes.
4-If characterized by these hypocritical attributes, a person will be hated by Allah and people.
5-From the believer’s attributes, are the following:
I- Whenever he speaks ,he does not tell a lie.
II- Whenever he promises, he never breaks it.
III-If you trust him, he proves to be honest.
5- حلاوة الإيمان
عن أنس رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ((ثلاث من كن فيه وجد حلاوة الإيمان:أن يكون الله ورسوله أحب إليه مما سواهما ،وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله،وأن يكره أن يعود في الكفر كما يكره أن يقذف في النار)).رواه البخاري
5-Sweetness (delight) of Faith
Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه:The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, “whoever possesses the following three (qualities)will have the sweetness(delight)of faith:
1-The one to whom Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) صلى الله عليه وسلمbecome dearer than anything else.
2-who loves a person and he loves him only for the sake of Allah.
3-who hates to revert to atheism(disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire.” [Collected by Al Bukhari].
Commentary:
The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلمcompares the desire of a believer for faith to a sweet thing.This Hadeeth reminds us of the story of the ill and the healthy persons because the ill person finds the taste of the honey bitter but the healthy one feels the sweetness of honey.And whenever his health decreases ,his taste will decreases . He used the word “sweet”because Allah Almighty compares the faith to a tree,Allah says: “See you not how Allah sets forth a parable?-A goodly word as a goodly tree,whose root is firmly fixed , and its branches (reach )to the sky(i.e.very high)
Surah 14.Ibrahim(24)
The word is the word of faith and sincerity which is the declaration of Tawheed(i.e.Oneness of Allah). The tree is the origin of faith ,and its branches are to observe Allah s orders and to avoid what He prohibited us from,and its leaves are everything good that a believer concerns much about,and its outcome is to obey Allah and the sweetness of the outcome is the harvest and then the sweetness shows up.
Instructions:
1-Necessity of loving Allah and His Messenger over all creatures.
2-Not obeying people by disobeying Allah and His Messenger.
3-Part of the perfectness of faith is that a muslim should love his muslim brother for the sake of Allah.
4-A muslim must hate disbelief as he hates to be thrown into Hell .
5-Whoever has these attributes he, therefore, feels delighted peaceful and secure.
6-ترك المسلم ما لا يعنيه
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال:قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم((من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه)).رواه الترمذي
6-Leaving the Unconcerned Things
On the authority of Abu Huraira رضي الله عنهwho said: the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid(( Part of someone’ s being a good Muslim is leaving away that which does not concern him)).collected by Al-Tirmithi.
Commetary:
This is a very important and great Hadeeth in both words and deeds. A Muslim should not speak about everything unless it concerns him. This Hadeeth also teaches us that we should not interfere with others affairs. We should not spend all our life to collect money and to get high ranks. Muslims should not seek praise, which they do not benefit from for their religion and for their worldly life.
Instructions:
1) Islam motivates Muslims to leave away whatever does not concern them.
2) Giving up things that do not concern Muslims including sayings and actions are an integral part of the perfect moral in Islam.
3) If you are not asked about something, do not try to answer.
4) Showing the way to the good is part of what concerns a Muslim.
7-النميمة
عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه ،قال:إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال((ألا أنبئكم ما العضة؟هي النميمة القالة بين الناس)). رواه مسلم
7-Prohibition of Calumny
Narrated Ibn Masud رضي الله عنه:Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said,))Shall I tell you what )Al-Adhu)(falsehood and slandering) is? It is calumny which is committed among the people.))[Muslim]
Commentary:
Islam calls for harmony, mutual love (friendly relation),and cooperation.It warns against enmity and quarrel.One of the main reasons that destroy the basic elements of a society and break off relations between people is calumny.It causes hatred and alienation between Muslims .A talebearer and a liar may set people against each other within one hour which a magician cannot do through one year.Therefore,a Muslim should make sure of what he hears from others but not to depend in doubt .Allah Almighty says:{O you who believe !If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news ,verify it,lest you harm people in ignorance,and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done}*
Becareful of the talebearer who has no dignity,nor does he have good morals because he intentionally harms people and becomes happy for causing calamity to people
Instructions:
1-Prohibition of backbiting and talebearing.
2-Calumny is one of the great sins.
*Surah 49.Al-Hujurat,verse:6
8-تحريم الغيبة
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:" أتدرون ما الغيبة؟" قالوا: الله ورسوله أعلم. قال: "ذكرك أخاك بما يكره". قيل: أفرأيت إن كان في أخي ما أقول. قال:" إن كان فيه ما تقول، فقد اغتبته، وإن لم يكن فيه ما تقول فقد بهته" رواه مسلم
8-Forbiddance of Backbiting
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Do you know what backbiting is?” The companions said : Allah and His Messenger know better. Thereupon he said, “Backbiting is talking about your (Muslim)brother in a manner which he dislikes”. It was said to him :What if my (Muslim)brother is as I say.He صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “If he is actually as you say, then that is backbiting;but if that is not in him , that is slandering” [Muslim]
Commentary:
In this Hadith,there is evidence that if a person talks about someone who is non-Muslim, that is not backbiting. The word (brother) in this Hadith is intentionally used to draw the attention of the talker not to backbite his Muslim brother. Because if he is his brother, he should forgive him,keep his faults secret,and expect good of (to see promising signs in) his defects, but not to spread them.But if there is a person who never dislikes people to talk about his defects such as immoral and shameless (impious) people, thereupon, it is no more backbiting. Finally, prohibition of backbiting is well known and agreed upon in Islam.
Instructions:
1-Care of Islam for Muslims honor

9-حق الجار على الجار
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال:قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فلا يؤذ جاره، ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليكرم ضيفه، ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيراً أو ليسكت". متفق عليه
9- Rights of Neighbor
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “He who believes in Allah and the Last Day must not harm his neighbor ; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day must show hospitality to his guest; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day must speak good or remain silent.” [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Commentary:
In this Hadith, keeping the rights of the neighbor is an integral part of faith perfection and harming him is one of the great sins in Islam as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said in this Hadith “ He who believes in Allah and the Last Day must not harm his neighbor” Righteous Muslim neighbors are distinguished from others. Muslims should do good for all neighbors,advise them kindly,make supplication(du’a) for them to follow the right path,and not to harm them.
Instructions:
1-Motivation of Islam to what make people love and help each other.
2-Cooperation among neighbors strengthens their relationships.

4-It is prohibited to look at your neighbor’s house from the rooftop or through the door hole.

10-النظافة من الإسلام
عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " لا يدخل الجنة من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من كبر" قال رجل: إن الرجل يحب أن يكون ثوبه حسناً، ونعله حسنة. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " إن الله جميل يحب الجمال. الكبر: بطر الحق وغمط الناس". رواه مسلم
10-Cleanliness is Part of Islam
Narrated Abdullah ben Masud رضي الله عنه: Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “He who has ,in his heart, a grain of arrogance will not enter Paradise.” Someone said : How about a person who likes to wear beautiful clothes and shoes? Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said “ All of Allah’s Affairs are Beautiful and He likes beauty; arrogance means ridiculing and rejecting the Truth ,and despising people.” [Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith motivates cleanliness and forbids self-pride. The Hadith says that a man who has even a little bit of self-pride in his heart will be barred from entering Paradise. If pride incites a man to deny the existence of Allah and His Revelation, he is sure to be thrown into Hell. Divine displeasure and the danger of infernal fire if mere consideration of riches, physical beauty, social and intellectual prominence and family status makes him proud and self-conceited and he looks down upon others,or persists in the denial of Truth.First, he will receive punishment and only then will be admitted into Paradise. A good dress,however, is not counted the sign of pride. Islam,however, encourages Muslims to be clean.
Instructions:
1-Forbiddance of arrogance and scorning people
2-Cleanliness involves everything that a person wears and uses
3-Care of keeping the house,the school,and the street clean
4-Admiration of taking shower at least once a week
1-الإخلاص في العمل
عن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال :سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:((إنما الأعمال بالنيات ,وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى :فمن كانت هجرته إلى دنيا يصيبها ,أو إلى امرأة ينكحها ,فهجرته إلى ما هاجر إليه)) رواه البخاري
1-Acting with Sincerity
Umar ben Al-khattab رضي الله عنه said: I heard Allah’s messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: “The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrates for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration will be for what he emigrated for” [Al-Bukhari]
Commentary:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said this Hadith on the occasion of someone’s emigration from Makkah to Al-Madina which was not for the sake of the Islamic cause but to marry a woman who had stipulated that he should emigrate if he wanted to marry her. Anyhow, this Hadeeth implies a general principle,i.e. one is rewarded for his deeds according to his real intentions and not according to his actual deeds which might be good in themselves but were motivated by an ill intention.
Instructions:
1-Intention is the base of any work in Islam .
2-If your intention is sincere (i.e.to please Allah), and your work is true (i.e., to follow the Prophet’s ways), Allah will accept it .
3-A Muslim is rewarded for all his worldly deeds if his intention is true,all his deeds are kinds of worshiping Allah sincerely such as a teacher while teaching, a student while studying,an employee while working,a businessman when trading,all those persons are worshiping Allah faithfully if their intentions are true,i.e,for the sake of Allah.
4-If a Muslim intends to do good work ,but he cannot do it , he will be rewarded for his good intention .
5-The true intention for the sake of Allah is a cause for one’s success in this life and in the hereafter .
2-التعاون بين المؤمنين
عن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه قال :قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم (( المؤمن للمؤمن كالبنيان يشد بعضه بعضا )) وشبك بين أصابعه . متفق عليه
2-Cooperation Among Muslims
Narrated Abu Musa رضي الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid: (( A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other )) The Prophet then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced. [By Al Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلمis comparing the believers who cooperate and help each other to a building whose different parts support each other. Because a building cannot be complete and nobody can make use of it unless its different parts hold and strengthen each other; otherwise, its walls will crack and the whole building will fall down. Also,it is so difficult for a Muslim to practice his religious rituals and to spend his daily life without the help and the cooperation of his Muslim brothers;otherwise, he may fail in his life. But Allah knows best.
Instructions:
1-It is good to use examples such as ( the building ) to clarify the meaning and to make the image very close to our minds.
2-Cooperation among Muslims strengthens their faith and makes them very strong.
3-Urging and activating cooperation among Muslims.
3-تحريم العقوق وشهادة الزور
عن أبي بكرة رضي الله عنه قال :قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ((ألا أنبئكم بأكبر الكبائر ،ثلاثا.))قلنا،نعم.قال((الإشراك باالله،وعقوق الوالدين،وشهادة الزور،(أو قول الزور))) وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم متكئا فجلس. فما زال يكررها حتى قلنا :ليته سكت. متفق عليه
3-Prohibition of Disobedience of Parents
and False Witness
Narrated Abu Bakraرضي الله عنه : The Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم said thrice , “Should I inform you about the greatest of the great sins ?” They said , Yes , O Allah’ s Messenger ! He said , “(1) To join others in worship with Allah , (2) To be undutiful to one’s parents .” The Prophet then sat up after he had been reclining (on a pillow ) and said , “(3) and I warn you against giving a lying speech (false statement)”, and he kept on saying that warning till we thought he would not stop. [Bukhari&Muslim]
Commentary:
There are many great sins and the major one is to associate partners with Allah in His Actions, or in worship, or in His Names, or in His Attributes. The Messenger started with this sin because it is the greatest sin in Islam. Then, he mentioned the disobedience of parents which is a great sin and Allah threatened those people who disobey their parents with severe punishment. A Muslim must honor his parents because they sympathetically took care of him/her since childhood and Allah ordered us to be dutiful to them and He forbade us from disobeying them in the following verse:
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him .And that you be dutiful to your parents .If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life ,say not to them a word of disrespect ,nor shout at them but address them in terms of honor.
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say:”my Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small”. *
*Surah 17. Al-Isra’:: 23,24
A Muslim must listen, obey, and respect his parents because obeying them is a duty unless they order you to do a sin. Another prohibited deed is to give a false statement and to turn away from saying the truth intentionally .The Prophet was much concerned to tell his companions about giving a lying speech or a false testimony because it is so easy for a tongue to slip and people do not always care much for this dangerous sin .This great sin has many reasons such as malice, enmity,etc.The Prophet repeated this warning till the companions thought he would not stop. Therefore Muslims should care much not to commit one of the great sins which lead to the anger and punishment of Allah.
Instructions:
1-Directed guidance and advice of the messenger to his companions.
2-Prohibition of associating partners with Allah as well as disobedience of parents.
3-Forbidding telling lies and false testimony.
4-Kind sympathy of the companions with our Messenger and keeping away from annoying him.
4-تحريم العقوق وشهادة الزور
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ((آية المنافق ثلاث :إذا حدث كذب ،وإذا وعد أخلف، وإذا أؤتمن خان )) .رواه البخاري
4-The Signs of a Hypocrite
Narrated Abu Hurairaرضي الله عنه , the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid “The signs of a hypocrite are three:
1-Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
2-Whenever he promises, he always breaks it(his promise)
3-If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest” (e.g.If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it)). AlBukhari
Commentary:
This is a warning for Muslims against these three habits which lead to hypocrisy. This becomes clear when we know the story of a man called ‘Thaalabah about whom Allah said:
((And of them are some who made a covenant with Allah (saying):If He bestowed on us of His Bounty,we will verily ,give Sadaqa(zakat and voluntary charity in Allah s Cause) and will be certainly among those who are righteous.))
((Then when He gave them of His Bounty, they became niggardly {refused to pay the Sadaqa (zakat or voluntary charity)}, and turned away ,averse.))
((So He punished them by putting hypocrisy into their hearts till the Day whereon they shall meet Him, because they broke that (covenant with Allah) which they had promised Him and because they used to tell lies)). *
This man became a disbeliever because of breaking his promise and telling lies. Therefore, this Hadeeth is to warn people from adopting these bad manners that result in real hypocrisy.
* Surah 9 . At-Tauba :75,76,77
Instructions:
1- Islam is so great that it rejects the bad habits and the mean manners such as telling a lie, breaking a word, and cheating,etc.
2-Caution against hypocrisy because it is worse than disbelief (kufr ).
3-Not adopting any hypocritical attributes.
4-If characterized by these hypocritical attributes, a person will be hated by Allah and people.
5-From the believer’s attributes, are the following:
I- Whenever he speaks ,he does not tell a lie.
II- Whenever he promises, he never breaks it.
III-If you trust him, he proves to be honest.
5- حلاوة الإيمان
عن أنس رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ((ثلاث من كن فيه وجد حلاوة الإيمان:أن يكون الله ورسوله أحب إليه مما سواهما ،وأن يحب المرء لا يحبه إلا لله،وأن يكره أن يعود في الكفر كما يكره أن يقذف في النار)).رواه البخاري
5-Sweetness (delight) of Faith
Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه:The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid, “whoever possesses the following three (qualities)will have the sweetness(delight)of faith:
1-The one to whom Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) صلى الله عليه وسلمbecome dearer than anything else.
2-who loves a person and he loves him only for the sake of Allah.
3-who hates to revert to atheism(disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire.” [Collected by Al Bukhari].
Commentary:
The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلمcompares the desire of a believer for faith to a sweet thing.This Hadeeth reminds us of the story of the ill and the healthy persons because the ill person finds the taste of the honey bitter but the healthy one feels the sweetness of honey.And whenever his health decreases ,his taste will decreases . He used the word “sweet”because Allah Almighty compares the faith to a tree,Allah says: “See you not how Allah sets forth a parable?-A goodly word as a goodly tree,whose root is firmly fixed , and its branches (reach )to the sky(i.e.very high)
Surah 14.Ibrahim(24)
The word is the word of faith and sincerity which is the declaration of Tawheed(i.e.Oneness of Allah). The tree is the origin of faith ,and its branches are to observe Allah s orders and to avoid what He prohibited us from,and its leaves are everything good that a believer concerns much about,and its outcome is to obey Allah and the sweetness of the outcome is the harvest and then the sweetness shows up.
Instructions:
1-Necessity of loving Allah and His Messenger over all creatures.
2-Not obeying people by disobeying Allah and His Messenger.
3-Part of the perfectness of faith is that a muslim should love his muslim brother for the sake of Allah.
4-A muslim must hate disbelief as he hates to be thrown into Hell .
5-Whoever has these attributes he, therefore, feels delighted peaceful and secure.
6-ترك المسلم ما لا يعنيه
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال:قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم((من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه)).رواه الترمذي
6-Leaving the Unconcerned Things
On the authority of Abu Huraira رضي الله عنهwho said: the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلمsaid(( Part of someone’ s being a good Muslim is leaving away that which does not concern him)).collected by Al-Tirmithi.
Commetary:
This is a very important and great Hadeeth in both words and deeds. A Muslim should not speak about everything unless it concerns him. This Hadeeth also teaches us that we should not interfere with others affairs. We should not spend all our life to collect money and to get high ranks. Muslims should not seek praise, which they do not benefit from for their religion and for their worldly life.
Instructions:
1) Islam motivates Muslims to leave away whatever does not concern them.
2) Giving up things that do not concern Muslims including sayings and actions are an integral part of the perfect moral in Islam.
3) If you are not asked about something, do not try to answer.
4) Showing the way to the good is part of what concerns a Muslim.
7-النميمة
عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه ،قال:إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال((ألا أنبئكم ما العضة؟هي النميمة القالة بين الناس)). رواه مسلم
7-Prohibition of Calumny
Narrated Ibn Masud رضي الله عنه:Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said,))Shall I tell you what )Al-Adhu)(falsehood and slandering) is? It is calumny which is committed among the people.))[Muslim]
Commentary:
Islam calls for harmony, mutual love (friendly relation),and cooperation.It warns against enmity and quarrel.One of the main reasons that destroy the basic elements of a society and break off relations between people is calumny.It causes hatred and alienation between Muslims .A talebearer and a liar may set people against each other within one hour which a magician cannot do through one year.Therefore,a Muslim should make sure of what he hears from others but not to depend in doubt .Allah Almighty says:{O you who believe !If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news ,verify it,lest you harm people in ignorance,and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done}*
Becareful of the talebearer who has no dignity,nor does he have good morals because he intentionally harms people and becomes happy for causing calamity to people
Instructions:
1-Prohibition of backbiting and talebearing.
2-Calumny is one of the great sins.
*Surah 49.Al-Hujurat,verse:6
8-تحريم الغيبة
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:" أتدرون ما الغيبة؟" قالوا: الله ورسوله أعلم. قال: "ذكرك أخاك بما يكره". قيل: أفرأيت إن كان في أخي ما أقول. قال:" إن كان فيه ما تقول، فقد اغتبته، وإن لم يكن فيه ما تقول فقد بهته" رواه مسلم
8-Forbiddance of Backbiting
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Do you know what backbiting is?” The companions said : Allah and His Messenger know better. Thereupon he said, “Backbiting is talking about your (Muslim)brother in a manner which he dislikes”. It was said to him :What if my (Muslim)brother is as I say.He صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: “If he is actually as you say, then that is backbiting;but if that is not in him , that is slandering” [Muslim]
Commentary:
In this Hadith,there is evidence that if a person talks about someone who is non-Muslim, that is not backbiting. The word (brother) in this Hadith is intentionally used to draw the attention of the talker not to backbite his Muslim brother. Because if he is his brother, he should forgive him,keep his faults secret,and expect good of (to see promising signs in) his defects, but not to spread them.But if there is a person who never dislikes people to talk about his defects such as immoral and shameless (impious) people, thereupon, it is no more backbiting. Finally, prohibition of backbiting is well known and agreed upon in Islam.
Instructions:
1-Care of Islam for Muslims honor
2-Prohibition of backbiting which means to mention your Muslim brother in a manner which he dislikes
3-Backbiting is one cause of hatred among Muslims
4-Forbidding falsehood among Muslims
5-Mentioning your Muslim brother flaws, even if they are true, is backbiting
6-Rightfulness of mentioning your Muslim brother in a manner which he likes
A Note:
This Hadith which elaborates the meaning of backbiting and slander points out the difference between the two along with the evils of each one of them. Both these evils are mischief of the tongue and entail great troubles. May Allah save us from both.
