“Everything is fine as long as it stays within its limits. For a man to love his wife is an act of reward, as long as he does not exceed the limits. If love for his wife leads him to disobey Allah ta’ala, it will be classified as a sin. Similarly, engaging in activities like football etc. beyond the limits is not permissible. Allah ta’ala says”:
The one who exceeds the boundaries of Allah has indeed wronged himself. (65:1)

“Always welcome newcomers to the masjid. Some people do not come to the masjid throughout the whole of Ramadan, and then come on the 27th night. Such people, whatever the state of their deeds, come with a lot of hope in the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wata‘alaa.
We should value them, but instead we stare at them. We need to change this behaviour of ours. We should ask ourselves who is more deserving of affection and support: a sick person or a healthy one?”

“A good Muslim will always be a good citizen because Islam will teach him to abhor and refrain from everything that is antisocial and detrimental to society.”

“Having good thoughts about a fellow Muslim brings reward while being suspicious of a fellow Muslim incurs sin; so why leave out what brings reward and do what invites the wrath of Allah ta’ala?
In fact, if someone else has done wrong then and made tawbah that person will have cleared his slate with Allah ta’ala, while we continue piling sins on ourselves by having suspicious thoughts about him.”

“If you have a problem, take it to your elders. Nowadays, we don’t take our problems to our elders, and when we get caught making a mistake, we lie to them.
Remember, getting caught out doing something wrong is a blessing of Allah ta’ala, as it provides the opportunity to repent.”

“A lot of people talk about Adab without fully understanding what it really means. Adab is to behave in a way that makes the person you wish to respect feel comfortable and at ease.
If an ‘aalim [or any senior] prefers you to stand up every time he enters the room, then adab would mean you stand up when he walks in, as it would be give him comfort.
However, if an ‘aalim prefers you not to stand up when we enters the room, then to stand up would cause him discomfort and so be contrary to adab.”

“Eating together in shared plates and remembering Allah ta’ala by saying Bismillah creates barakah (blessings) and leads to the development of love and unity. When hearts unite, Allah’s help descends and success follows in all matters, big and small, e.g. unity in masjids, homes, businesses, all deeni endeavours etc. Peace prevails and all matters become easy.

Live with Peace Thursday, May 7, 2009

Live in the world with peace and leave the world with peace.
“To achieve this you may have to make sacrifices, e.g. to say sorry even when you were not at fault. Such people may lose out in this world, but they will be winners in the hereafter.
If, instead of making peace, a person chooses to keep a dispute or fight going, it will snatch away his peace of mind in this world.
The dispute will prick him constantly; if his opponent is happy, gets married, goes on holiday etc. it will cause him pain.
Finally, he will resort to gheebah about his opponent and entertain evil thoughts about him.”

“Taking an oath is not a mundane action; it is a very serious matter. However, we see people taking oaths by the name of Allah over very small and petty issues. Some people even take oaths knowing they are lying, with the thought that they will repent later.
This is a very severe matter and must not be toyed around with. Taking an oath by Allah’s name should send shivers down the spine.”
