Episode Notes

In Episode #15, the respected Imam Omar Suleiman takes us through the action of angels in our life when we say or do something for the sake of Allah.

Did you know that when you love someone purely for the sake of Allah, no ulterior motive, nothing personal or professional to be gained from the visiting that person, an angel calls out :– “May you find goodness in your path always, and may your steps be blessed, and may you have a special station in paradise”?

Our venerable Imam relates hadiths that guide us through this concept of acting for the sake of Allah alone and the role of the angels when we achieve this purpose.

brother of his for the sake of Allah. And an angel came to him in the form of a human being said to him, where are you going? And he said, I'm going to visit my brother for the sake of Allah.
