Marital Harmony In Islam | Abu Idrees Muhammad

Our abode on this Earth is temporary.  The time we have is little and by each passing day, that time gets shorter.  It is befitting then that we follow the examples of the Salaf and apply the best of manners towards our generous Lord.  This lesson illustrates that aspect of how a Muslim should be, to those around us, to those we have authority over and ultimately Allah the most High.

Speaker: Abu Arwa Ali Mir

Inspirations from the Lives of the Salaf

Have Manners in front of Your Generous Lord

Ahmad Fathi gives advice to the sisters of Masjid Rahmah at their annual luncheon based on the hadeeth of the Messenger (sal Allahu 'alayhee wa sallam): Love for your brother (and sister) what you love for yourself.
