"Truly, what is lawful is evident, and what is unlawful is evident and in between the two are matters which are doubtful which may people do not know. He who guards against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour blamless, and he who indulges in doubtful things indulges in fact in unlawful things, just as a shepherd who pastures his flock round a preserve will soon pasture them in it. Beware, every king has a preserve, and the things Allah has declared unlawful are His preserves. Beware, in the body there is a flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt, and behold, it is the heart."
(Mutafaqqun Alaih)
Lessons from the Hadeeth
Imam al-Bukhari recorded this Hadeeth as the opening of his Musannaf on the Book of Trade. There is much wisdom as to why he did that.
If one is to find much contentment in striving for the path of Allah, then maintaining a life clearly within the permissible bounds, is a crucial necessity.
Consider the following daily matters;
- our food
- our dressing
- our work
- our worship elements
- our interaction with others
Don't look at how minor the sin that is you committed, but look at the glory of the one you disobeyed.
Take home message; stay away from the grey area as that is better for you..[Allah knows best]..
Salam Maal Hijrah! May Allah shower us with His guidance and bless...
