Unfortunately, nowadays, people remain worried in only sorting out their own affairs following “Mind your own business” approach.

 ٭There would be numerous Muslims in their surroundings facing one problem or the other but they are not bothered about them at all.

 ٭Some people have many of their own close acquaintances, such as relatives, neighbours, etc., who struggle due to poverty and other hardships but they are not bothered about them at all.   

 ٭Countless patients are losing their nights’ sleeps and days’ peace due to not having money but majority don’t pay attention towards it either.

Remember! A good Muslim is the one who likes the same for his Muslim brother what he does for himself.

In order to ignite the passion of carrying out the welfare of the grieved Ummah of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, let’s listen to three blessed sayings of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

Excellences of welfare

1. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “Like the same for people what you do for yourself. Dislike the same for people what you do for yourself. When you speak, speak good or remain silent.” (Musnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal, Hadees Mu’az Bin Jabal, vol. 8, pp. 266: Hadees: 22193)

2. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “A believer stays within the folds of his Deen until he wishes good for his Muslim brother. When he doesn’t wish good for him anymore, then the blessing of him being capable (of performing noble deeds, etc.) is taken away from him.” (Firdous-ul-Akhbar Lid-Da`imi, Baab-ul-Laam, vol. 2, pp. 429, Hadeeth: 7722)

3. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: “Deen is all about looking after the welfare of Muslims. The blessed companions رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُم humbly asked: ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, whom for?’ He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: For Allah Almighty, His Book, His Prophet, and for the Imams and ordinary people of Muslims.” (Muslim, Kitab-ul-Iman, Bab Bayan Ad-Deen-un-Naseehat, pp. 51, Hadees: 196)
