Allah decreed for everyone a portion of adultery
Hadith of the day
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Verily Allah has fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in, and which he of necessity must commit. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look, and the adultery of the tongue is the licentious speech, the heart desires and yearns, which the parts may or may not put into effect".
[Muslim 2657]
3 Ways to Attain The Sweetness of Īmān(faith) in Islām
Hadith of the day
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There are three qualities whoever has them, will taste the sweetness of Iman: To love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) more than anyone else; to love a slave (of Allah) only for (the sake of) Allah; and to abhor returning to infidelity after Allah has saved him from it as he would abhor to be thrown into the fire (of Hell)".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim, riyad as-salihin 375]
Hadith Of The Day
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When you get up in the morning, charity is due from every one of your joints. There is charity in every ascription of glory to Allah; there is charity in every declaration of His Greatness; there is charity in every utterance of praise of Him; there is charity in every declaration that He is the only true God (worthy of worship); there is charity in forbidding evil. Two Rak'ah of Duha (Forenoon prayer) is equal to all this (in reward)".

The value of being polite
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,
Shall I not tell you whom the (Hell) Fire is forbidden to touch ? It is forbidden to touch a man who is always accessible, having polite and tender nature."
[At-Tirmidhi]
In this hadith from At-Tirmidhi, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) teaches that a person who is kind, approachable, and gentle in nature is protected from the punishment of Hellfire. The hadith emphasizes the value of being polite, easygoing, and having a tender demeanor in interactions with others.
These traits, such as being accessible, patient, and kind-hearted, are highly regarded in Islam because they reflect a person’s humility and compassion towards others. Such individuals are considered to embody the Islamic ideal of good character (akhlaq), which plays a crucial role in earning Allah’s pleasure and avoiding the torments of Hell. This hadith encourages believers to strive for kindness and gentleness in their daily lives.
Hadith Of The Day
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"For every prophet there is one (special invocation (that will not be rejected) with which he appeals (to Allah), and I want to keep such an invocation for interceding for my followers in the Hereafter."
(Sahib al-Bukhari 6304)
This hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari highlights the deep compassion and concern the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) had for his followers. Every prophet was given a special invocation (du'a) that Allah promised would be answered. While other prophets may have used theirs during their lifetimes, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) chose to reserve his for the Day of Judgment, intending to use it to intercede for his followers.
This demonstrates the Prophet's selflessness and his priority for the well-being of his ummah (followers) in the Hereafter. It is a reflection of his mercy and the unique status of his intercession, known as Shafa'ah, which will be a source of hope and salvation for many believers on the Day of Judgment.
Two Muslims meet when Allah forgiven their sins
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,
"Two Muslim will not meet and shake hands without having their sins forgiven (by Allah ) before they depart."
[Abu Dawud ,riyad as-salihin 887, authenticated by shaykh Al-Albaanee]
This hadith emphasizes the spiritual benefit of the simple act of greeting one another with a handshake. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) teaches that when two Muslims meet and shake hands, their sins are forgiven before they part ways. This illustrates how small, sincere gestures of brotherhood and unity in Islam can have profound spiritual rewards.
The handshake, when accompanied by genuine warmth and a sense of goodwill, serves as an act of humility and connection between believers. It strengthens bonds and fosters a sense of community, with the added blessing of being a means of expiation of sins. This hadith encourages Muslims to engage in such acts of kindness and reminds them that Allah’s mercy extends even to the smallest of good deeds.
