Madinay ki Machli | The Fish of Madinah
If only we could also learn to act ‘selflessly’. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgives the one who has a desire of something, then he controls his desire and gives preference (to someone else) over himself.’
(Ithaf-us-Sadah liz-Zabeedi, vol. 9, pp. 779)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
