Showing Disrespect to One’s Parents (Part 1)

Allah, the Most High, says, {Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say, “My Lord! Bestow on them mercy even as they cherished me in childhood.} (Al-Isra: 23-24)

Therefore, you should serve them as they did with you. But your service is not equal to theirs, as they suffered a lot in bringing you up, hoping that you might live long. On the other hand, when you shoulder their burdens, you hope that they will die soon. Allah, the Most High, says, {Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: To Me is thy final goal.} (Luqman: 14)

Behold, how Allah has associated gratitude to Him with the gratitude to the parents. Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “There are three verses (ayat) which have been revealed associated with three others. They are not accepted separately.

Self-Refinement

All praise is due to Allah. May His peace and blessings be upon the Prophet, his family, and his companions. Fellow Muslims! Fear Allah as He should be feared, for it is the fear of Allah that makes things easy for one and prevents evil and undesirable things.

Brothers in faith! Allah has perfected the religion for us, completed His favor upon us, and has chosen for us Islam as our religion. Islam is a religion that has its basics and principles deeply rooted and strongly fortified. It enjoins all noble traits and forbids all corrupt deeds. It teaches that man’s elevation lies in religiosity and good

Major Sin: Not Paying Zakat

Allah, the Most High, says, {And do not let those who greedily withhold Allah’s bounties think it is good for them—in fact, it is bad for them! They will be leashed by their necks on the Day of Judgment with whatever wealth they used to withhold. And Allah is the sole inheritor of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.} (AI-Imran: 180)

The Qur’an also states, {Those who do not pay alms-tax and are in denial of the Hereafter. But those who believe and do good will certainly have a never-ending reward.} (Fussilat: 7-8)

Allah, the Almighty, says, {And there are those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous chastisement. On the Day when it will be heated in the Fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs. This is the (treasure) which ye hoarded for yourselves: taste ye, then, the (treasures) ye hoarded.} (At-Tawbah: 34-35)

The Benefits of Performing Prayers (Part 2)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “I have considered having a man lead people in prayer and going myself to those who hang back from attending the prayer in congregation to burn their houses down upon them.” (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim)

Behold, this threat cannot be issued unless there is something obligatory left. It was related that once, a blind man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have nobody to lead me to the mosque.” Then he asked for permission to pray at home. Thereby, the Prophet (peace be upon him) permitted him. But before leaving, the Prophet (peace be upon him) called him and said, “Do you hear the Call

The Benefits of Performing Prayers (Part 1)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Allah does not look to a man who does not raise his back upright and prostrate.” (Reported by Ahmed)

“This is the prayer of a hypocrite who watches the sun until he finds it about to set, then he stands and performs it as quickly as a bird picking the seeds, and he hardly remembers Allah in it.” (Reported by Muslim)

Abdullah AI-Ash’ari related: One day the Prophet (peace be upon him) led the companions in the prayer. After finishing the prayer, someone came in to pray. He started to pray so fast that he could hardly remain
