Our beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) mentions the incident of Kifal during the reign of Bani Isra’eel. Kifal lived a life of extravagance and adopted some of the most indecent and lewd ways of living. He was notorious among the people as a womaniser, an adulterer and an immoral person.
During an era of fitna (trials and tribulations), sometimes it will be necessary to leave out a permissible act because the unique circumstances could lead one to sin.
The Jalaal, i.e. the Majestic Grandeur of Allah Ta’ala can never ever be aptly and fully explained. One can try as much as one wish to, but the praises of the Most Magnificent One, can never be achieved. It is only He who can define Himself.
The benefits of dates include relief from constipation, intestinal disorders, heart problems, anaemia, diarrhoea, abdominal cancer, and many other conditions.
The Muslim segment of the Ummah of Nabi (Salallahu Alaihi wa Sallam), is ONE massive family unit, “like one single body”. Viewed against this backdrop, brotherhood (“ukhuwwa”) is an absolutely essential ingredient for success. The call by Allah Ta’ala to hold fast all together “to the rope of Allah” is a clear signal for a strongly united Ummah.
Man’s actions (‘Amaal) can either bring him closer to his Creator, or distance him from the Creator’s kindness and love. There are those deeds/actions that draw one to the brink of Allah Ta’ala’s ocean of mercy in very quick time.
