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.
