Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, said: “‘Six are the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim.’ It was said to him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what are these?’ Thereupon he said: ‘When you meet him, offer him greetings when he invites you to a feast accept it. It was narrated on the authority of Abu Jurayy al-Hujaymi, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: “I came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, we are a people living in the desert, teach us something with which Allah The Almighty and Exalted may benefit us?’ He said: ‘Do not hold in contempt any act of goodness even if it is pouring water from your cup into the container of one seeking water and even talking to your brother with a cheerful countenance.’” Īmong other types of charity is paying the rights to their owners. Whoever walks with his brother in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet would slip.” Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Judgment. It is better for me to walk with my Muslim brother in his time of need than to stay secluded in this mosque of Madinah for a month. “‘O Messenger of Allah, who are the dearest people to Allah and the dearest deeds to Allah?’ The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, replied: ‘The dearest among people to Allah is the one who is most beneficial to people, and the dearest of deeds to Allah is to bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. Īmong the types of charity is what was mentioned in the Hadith of Ibn ‘Umar that a man came to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, and said: Other acts whose benefit does not transcend the one who does them, include utterances of glorification of Allah The Almighty, utterances proclaiming His greatness, praise and professing His oneness, walking to prayers and praying the two Rak‘ahs (units of prayer) of Dhuha (mid-morning prayer). Saying good words which includes greeting and responding to a person who sneezes, removing a harmful thing from the pathways, enjoining good, forbidding evil, aiding the needy, helping the deaf to hear and the weak sighted to see and guiding the blind are some other good deeds that come under the same category. The good deeds mentioned by the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, include deeds with general benefit, such as reconciling people and helping a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it by lifting his luggage onto it. To remove a harmful thing from the way is also a charity.” Every step taken on one’s way to offer the obligatory prayer (in the mosque) is also a charity. To help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it is also regarded as a charity, and (saying) a good word is also a charity. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as a charity. “There is a (compulsory) charity to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allah) every day the sun rises. For example, Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, said: Many texts came to show us different kinds of good deeds. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, informed us that: “Every act of goodness is a charity.” Thus, you are rewarded for every act of goodness you perform. Be keen on goodness to people through teaching knowledge, enjoining good such as maintaining ties of kinship, dutifulness to parents, reconciling people, offering some useful advice or a right opinion, co-operation in righteousness and piety, and forbidding evil or guiding to obtain an interest, whether religious or worldly.” He Says (what means): includes every good word, beautiful deed and perfect morals towards relatives and strangers. Allah The Exalted instructs His Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, to enjoin his Ummah (Muslim nation) to practise goodness and make it their intrinsic quality and moral characteristic.
