Ramadan Day 8

“We send down the Quran as a healing and mercy for the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.” (Qur’an 17:82)

﷽ 

Ramadan Day 8: The Social Benefit where people are more charitable in assisting those in need.

*Heart health Remembering Allah*
“O believers! Always remember Allah often.” (Qur’an 33:41)

It’s the worship that’s not bound by time or conditions, and from the forms of remembrance:
Reciting the Qur’an
Prayers
Seeking knowledge
Mentioning Allah (mentioning Allah in the morning أذكار الصباح, mentioning Allah at the evening أذكار المساء, mentioning Allah after every prayer, mentioning Allah before sleeping…etc)

Allah’s remembrance has many benefits, some of them are:
Alienating the devil and the forces of darkness.
Removes worries and sadness
Strengthening the heart
Planting the love of Allah in the heart
Erases sins
A reason for the descendance of mercy
Keeps the tongue busy from backbiting and gossip
Take the heart away from toughness and hypocrisy.

*Muhammed is the messenger of Allah*
“Muhammed is not the father of any of your men, but is the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things.” (Qur’an 33:40)

We should believe that Muhammed (saw) is the final Messenger of Allah (swt). And that he is the best of all prophets. We can believe all the prophets as a whole, but we should still believe in Muhammed (saw)by name, as this is a fundamental in the religion of Islam.

May Allahs peace and blessings be upon him.

*The Harm is Removed*
The third of the five comprehensive rules. Its explanation is that every harm or damage is eliminated or prevented in Islam.

Islam came to protect the five necessities, which are religion, life, mind, wealth and lineage, for example.

Jihad protects religion
Prohibition of unlawful killing and suicide protects life
Prohibition of Alcohol protects the mind
Prohibition of stealing protects wealth
Prohibition of fornicating protects lineage

and so are the other things that cause harm.

Proof: The hadith: (There is no harm or return of harm), and many verses from the Qur’an like:

“No mother should be harmed through her child.” (Qur’an 2:233)

Sources: ( Musnad Al Rabi’i 692- ‘Abū Ubayda narrated from Jābir ‘Ibn Zayd that the Prophet, ﷺ, said: “Let him who believes in Allah and the last day, speak only good or keep quiet and do no harm to his neighbor”)

It was narrated from ‘Ubadah bin Samit that the Messenger of Allah (saw) ruled:

“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”

May Allah (swt) Guide the Ummah.

May Allah (swt) Forgive the Ummah
