Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

Prophet of Allah  ﷺ said:

"The poor person is not the one who goes round the people and ask them for a mouthful or two (of meals) or a date or two but the poor is that who has not enough (money) to satisfy his needs and whose condition is not known to others, that others may give him something in charity, and who does not beg of people."

Deeds which may admit to Jannah

Abu Ayyub (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

A man said to the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam): "Direct me to a deed which may admit me to Jannah.''

Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)) said: "Worship Allah and never associate anything with Him in worship, establish Salat, pay Zakat, and strengthen the ties of kinship.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
This Hadith mentions the compassion for relatives. It indicates the importance of compassion for relation in Islam. The term `strengthen the ties of kinship' implies nice treatment of one's relatives regardless of circumstances, maintenance of contact with them and fulfillment of the requirements of relationship with them.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Some gates of Jannah (Paradise) in Islam

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"He who spends a pair in the way of Allah will be called from the gates of Jannah:

`O slave of Allah! This gate is better for you' and one who is constant in Salat (prayer), will be called from the Gate of Salat;

and whoever is eager in fighting in the Cause of Allah, will be called from the Gate of Jihad;

and who is regular in observing Saum will be called from Ar-Raiyan Gate.

The one who is generous in charity will be called from the Gate of Charity.''


Abu Bakr (Radhiallahu anhu) said:"O Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)! May my mother and father be sacrificed for you! Those who are called from these gates will stand in need of nothing. Will anybody be called from all of those gates?''

He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
"Pair'' means two; in other channels of transmission, it has been explained thus: "They asked him, `Pair of what?' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, `A pair of horses, cows or camels'.'' "Pair'' in this Hadith, however, can be all-inclusive; i.e., fasting two days or performing two prayers, etc. This Hadith also mentions special distinction of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (Radhiallahu anhu) and the esteem in which he was held by the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam). It also transpires from this Hadith that one can praise such a person right on his face about whom one does not fear that it will make him proud. This Hadith has also an inducement for giving in Sadaqah two instead of a single item.

Islam is built on five pillars

Ibn `Umar (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"(The structure of) Islam is built on five (pillars) :

1) Testification of `La ilaha illallah' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), that Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is his slave and Messenger.
2) The establishment of Salat
3) The payment of Zakat
4) The pilgrimage to the House of Allah (Ka`bah)
5) Saum during the month of Ramadan.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary:
Every Muslim who has fifty-two and a half Tola (a Tola is about 12 grams) silver or cash equivalent to it in excess of his need, and a year has passed since its possession is liable to pay it. One who has seven and a half Tola or more gold also comes in this category. It should be evaluated in terms of money and Zakat at the rate of 2.5% to be paid on it.
