is, and hastiness is a bad thing within the actual performance of an act of worship. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 625)

‘Allamah Imam Ahmad Bin Hajar Makki Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه states: Haste is from Satan, however, he is not hasty himself. Rather, he slowly makes man fall into evil in such a way that he does not even realise. However, the one who ponders and reflects thoroughly before taking an action, he attains insight into it. Therefore, until you do not gain insight into a matter, you should not hasten in it, except in the case where it is Wajib to do an action immediately and there is no room to ponder and reflect in it at all. (Az-Zawajir ‘Aniqtiraf-ul-Kabair, vol. 1, pp. 181)

Hastiness in crossing the road

Dear Islamic sisters! Due to hastiness cars are crashing into each other, cars are severely damaged, pedestrians walking on the pathways are also crashed into; the driver not only ends up causing harm to himself, but also to others, many people get injured and become disabled for rest of their lives. In short, many precious lives are lost due to haste.

Remember! In order to reach one’s destination, hastily crossing a road can land a person in the graveyard rather than her destination. Therefore, safety lies in not being hasty when crossing the road, rather, one should adopt patience and precaution, and should follow the traffic rules as long as they do not contravene the Shari’ah. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه as a result of this, we will see a clear decline in road traffic incidents.

Dear Islamic sisters! Let’s listen to Madani Inaam No.14 from the 63 Madani Inamaat and make intention to act upon it. Did you check off the boxes with utmost concentration for the Madani In’amaat which you acted upon today, whilst pondering (reflecting upon your deeds) for at least 12 minutes?
