Prophet said
1. “The creation is the family of God. So dearest of the creation of God is he who is best (in conduct) with His family.”-- H: Baihaqi. N: Abdullah and Anas
What could be better service to the family of man than to introduce the words of God and His Messenger to them. Get all, relatives, friends (even non-Muslim) interested, in this Friday Post that you are reading. You will have your reward, inshaAllah, because: “Whoever rallies to a good cause becomes a partner therein;” (Q.4: 85).
2. “God said: There are three (types of men) whose adversary I shall be on the Day of Resurrection: a man who has given a word by Me and has broken it; a man who has sold a free man and consumed the price; and a man who hired a workman, got his complete work done by him and did not give him the wage” – Hadis Qudsi: Bukhari, Ibn Majah, and Ahmad. N: Abu Hurairah
