“A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor.
Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs;
Whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection,
And whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . ”

Narrated by Abu Hurairah: I heard Allah’s Messenger Peace be upon him saying,
“If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?”
They said, “Not a trace of dirt would be left.”
The Prophet added, “That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds.”
Challenge:
Focus and prioritize your five daily prayers- challenge yourself to pray every single prayer on time, we strive to keep our appointments in life, for example we would never run late for a business meeting or even an appointment at the doctors, so why is it that when it’s time to meet our Lord in prayer, we delay it?
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
“Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs (i.e. his tongue and his private parts), I guarantee Paradise for him.“
Challenge:
Think carefeully about the words that you say, and strive to be someone who can guarantee that the words uttered at all pleasing to Allah.
The Prophet peace be upon him said, ‘The Paradise is surrounded by hardships and the Hell-Fire is surrounded by temptations. (Saheeh Muslim)
Challenge:
- Disobeying our parents- challenge yourself to not give in to the whispers of shaitan when he tempts you to neglect your parents rights, even if they ask for the smallest favour.
- Not lowering the gaze- challenge yourself to not give in to temptation, when shaitan tempts you to look at the opposite gender.
The Prophet, sallalahu alaihe wa salam, said:
“Shaytan ties three knots at the back of the head of one of you when he sleeps, sealing every knot with: ‘ The night is long so remain asleep’. Then when one of you awakes and remembers Allah, the Most High, one knot is undone. When one makes wudoo a knot is undone, and when one prays all the knots are undone so he wakes energetic and in good spirits. But if not then he wakes in bad spirits and is sluggish.”
Al-Bukhari and Muslim
Challenge:
Remember this everytime you fall asleep, and strive to wake up ensuring you do everything to untie those knots.
