Words of Wisdom
"Alhamdulillah, one of the greatest blessings Allah has bestowed upon us is allowing us to be among the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us what we need to know to be successful in this life and the hereafter. The more we strive to implement his teachings in our lives, the more blessings, peace, and contentment we will have. The Prophet's example should be our guide in all aspects and situations. Even though it may be difficult, our faith and trust in his teachings give us confidence that following his ways will lead to a better outcome. May Allah grant us the ability to follow the Prophet's example in all aspects of our lives.
Hadeeth of the Day
Abu Musa reported God's messenger as saying, I and the message with which God has entrusted me are just like a man who came to a people and said, "I have seen the army with my own eyes, and I am a simple warner, so flee, flee.' A section of his people obeyed him, and setting off at nightfall, went away without hurry and escaped. But a section of them did not believe him and stayed where they were, and the army attacked them at dawn, destroying and exterminating them. That is a comparison with those who obey me and follow my message, and with those who disobey me and disbelieve the truth I have brought. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
