True words of wisdom

In light of recent events, let's take a break from politics and reflect on ourselves.


Here's a list of sunnah by the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. Highlighted are my favs.


Read them, understand them and hopefully, practice them. =D



1.    

Give the laborer his wage before his perspiration be dry

2.


Do not envy one another; do not inflate prices one to another; do not turn away from one another; and do not undercut one another, but be you, oh servants of Allah, brothers.

3.




It is better to sit alone than in company with the bad; and it is, better still to sit with the good than alone. It is better to speak to a seeker of knowledge than to remain silent; but silence is better than idle words.

4.

14.


Allah does not look at your appearance or your possessions; but He looks at your heart and your deeds.

When two persons are together, two of them must not whisper to each other, without letting the third hear; because it would hurt him.

16.

Verily, it is one of the respects to Allah to honor an old man.

All Muslims are like a foundation, each strengthening the other; in such a way they do support each other.

18.

He, who wishes to enter paradise at the best gate, must please his father and mother.

22.


The perfect Muslim is not a perfect Muslim, who eats till he is full and leaves his neighbors hungry.
