Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, The best of you, are my contemporaries, then those who follow them, then those who will come after them. (Imran said, I do not know if he said this twice or thrice). Then, they will be followed by those who will testify but will not be called upon to testify; they will betray the trust, and will not be trusted. They will make vows but will not fulfill them, and obesity will prevail among them.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary: In this Hadith, three eras have been called as the best of ages in a graded order: first, the Prophetic era, second, the Successors' era, and third, the Followers of the Successors' era. Goodness and religion collectively prevailed during this time. Then gradually there was an overall deterioration and every new era that the pass of time brought it, proved to be worse than the preceding one. Today's Muslims have fallen due to their weakness in character. Now, the majority of Muslims lack morals and belief as described in the Qur'an and the Hadith. The complaint is to be lodged only with Allah! |

Abu Musa Al-Ashari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, Giving in charity is an obligation upon every Muslim. It was said (to him): What about one who does not find (the means) to do so?'' He (PBUH) said, Let him work with his hands, thus doing benefit to himself and give in charity.'' It was said to him: What if he does not have (the means) to do so?'' He (PBUH) said, Then let him assist the needy, the aggrieved.'' It was said: What about if he cannot even do this?'' He (PBUH) said, Then he should enjoin good.'' He was asked: What if he cannot do that?'' He (the Prophet (PBUH)) said, He should then abstain from evil, for verily, that is a charity from him. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary: This Hadith emphasizes two things. Firstly, it induces one to work hard so that he can fulfill his own needs and also spend in the way of Allah. Secondly, it points out a great variety of virtues and good deeds so much so that even to abstain from sin also comes in the category of Sadaqah. |

(And [recall] when Moses prayed for water for his people, so We said, Strike with your staff the stone. And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. Eat and drink from the provision of Allah, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.) Quran 2.60 |
