“As Ali was leaving the hospital, he found some very poor people waiting in the corridor. Ali pulled out his wallet and gave each one a $100 bill. In the 1960s, that was a lot of money. Ali thought nothing of it. He just gave the money and without waiting for thanks, he walked away. He never ignored the poor, the sick and the destitute. Ali must have known that he would find Allah there with them, just as the Hadith says…”

“When we sell fruit, do we put the rotten ones under the good ones? When we sell our car, do we mention that the gears are faulty and the brake pads are worn? When we sell a house, do we cover up the damp walls and crumbling brickwork and we don’t tell the new buyer? When we write our exams, as some students are doing right now, do we cheat? Do we claim someone else’s hard work as our own? Do we bribe examiners or do buy our degrees and qualifications from dodgy institutions? Dear Brothers and Sisters, halaal isn’t only about the food we eat. Halaal is also about how we do business, and how we earn our livelihood…”

“Allah says that He has forbidden oppression by Himself on us, therefore, do not oppress others…
How often do we do injustice to ourselves, to our loved ones and to other people? Allah commands justice. Let us not be unjust, let us not oppress anyone….”

“Allah rewards a good deed that was intended but not completed, as one good deed. He rewards a good deed that was intended and completed, between 10 times and 700 times and more….”
