One day the Prophet asked his dear companions whether they knew who was poor. They answered that poor was one who had no dirham or dinar (money) He said:“In my Ummah, the poor is that man who would appear on the Day of the Judgment before Allah; he had offered prayer; he had paid Zakat ; he had observed fast; but he would have abused somebody, he would have falsely accused some one; he would have unauthorisedly taken some one else's property; he would have murdered some one; would have hit some body. All his virtues would be given to his victims. If his virtues are finished before his wicked deeds are finished, then the errors and sins of the victims would be given to him and he would be thrown into the Hell.” HR Muslim
The Prophet has explained by quoting an example. He said that the best moral character melts errors like water and bad morals spoil man's record as vinegar spoils honey.
Bottomline: Switch to eat, breathe and sleep GOOD permanently. Disable and eliminate the BAD permanently. Why ruin it when you can actually contain and control your actions and perceptions. My challenge for this week: Patience and to smile more at times of crisis. Heh.
Allah's Messenger has nicely explained it that when faith is firm and belief is strong, then strong and lasting moral will be developed, and if the moral character is low then faith will accordingly be weak. The grande things i've learnt today.
