Truthfulness

Abdullah bin Mas’ud Radhiallahu anhu reported: “The Prophet Sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam said, ‘Truth leads to piety and piety leads to Jannah. A man persists in speaking the truth till he is enrolled with Allah as a truthful. Falsehood leads to vice and vice leads to the Fire (Hell), and a person persists on telling lies until he is enrolled as a liar.'”

Greatest Adversity

The most significant event in the life of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasalam was his passing away. This was because it symbolised the culmination of all heavenly revelations to this earth. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasalam informed us that his death would be a great disaster, ‘O people! If any believer is afflicted by a tragedy, let him remember the adversity of my death, so that this may give him ease, as nobody will be afflicted with an adversity which is greater than that of my demise.’ (Ibn Majah)

The less of the world, the freer you live.
