Yusuf Gassiep – Naseegah Segment #02

			Indeed, we are fortunate to be of the
		

			community of Muslims,
		

			a community who had forefathers,
		

			predecessors like the Sahaba, the companions of the
		

			Prophet
		

			who brought to us, packaged to us, and
		

			was able to relate to us the description
		

			of the Prophet
		

			how he ate, how he slept, and how
		

			he went about his daily doings.
		

			One such hadith is reported to us by
		

			Abdullah ibn Abbas
		

			where he says,
		

			That the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		

			was the most generous of people.
		

			And he was at the pinnacle, at the
		

			height of his generosity
		

			during Ramadan.
		

			Khina yal kahu jibreel
		

			when he met Jibreel alaihis salam. And what
		

			did they do during these meetings? They would
		

			study and revise the book of Allah Subhanahu
		

			Wa Ta'ala. Abdullah ibn Abbas radiAllahu
		

			ta'ala Anhu. He describes the Prophet
		

			as being more generous
		

			than that wind that brings the rain. We
		

			know how precious rain is in Arabia. We
		

			know how precious rain is in a desert,
		

			so the prophet
		

			after having these meetings with Jibril during the
		

			month of Ramadan,
		

			his generosity
		

			would increase.
		

			And so, dear brothers and sisters,
		

			we are encouraged to give more during this
		

			month of Ramadan,
		

			and we see that the prophet
		

			generosity,
		

			which already was at a high level, would
		

			be increased during this month due to 3
		

			things. 1, the fact that it was
		

			Ramadan in itself.
		

			2, good companionship
		

			when he met with Jibril,
		

			and 3, he was busy reciting
		

			and revising the book of Allahu
		

			And so, we learn from this hadith
		

			that when we are busy with good actions,
		

			an indication that it is accepted from Allah
		

			is the ability to do more good actions.
		

			And so, we pray and ask Allah
		

			during this month of Ramadan
		

			to grant us good companionship
		

			and the ability
		

			to do good deeds.
		

			This Ramadan,
		

			do
		

			more.
		

			SANSAV,
		

			changing lives through development and relief.
