Help us to unite upon truth and righteousness, and grant us patience and tolerance towards one another. Remove any misunderstandings and barriers that may divide us, and strengthen the bonds of love and brotherhood/sisterhood among us. O Allah, forgive us our shortcomings and grant us the ability to forgive others. Grant us humility and sincerity in our interactions, and help us to uphold the teachings of Islam in our daily lives. **Ameen.**

Surah Al-Ma'un | Maher Al-Muaiqly | القارئ ماهر المعيقلي | سُوْرَۃُ ٱلمَاعُون This chapter, which has seven verses, draws our attention to the Day of Judgement, when we shall be held responsible for all our good or bad actions. It also deplores the ways of those who deny the Day of Judgement, treat the helpless with contempt and lead arrogant, selfish lives. They do not extend the slightest courtesy or kindness to their fellow human beings, their hearts being empty of Faith. The hypocrites may put on a pretence of doing good deeds, but these hollow acts will not avail them. This chapter also warns those who are ‘heedless in their prayer.’ Belief in the reckoning of the Hereafter makes a man pious. One who does not believe in this will be devoid of all goodness; he will be neglectful of prayer to God; he will not be ashamed of pushing over a weak person; he will not think it necessary to discharge the dues and rights of the poor; he will not even give to others such things as will cause him no substantial loss—even if it be only matchsticks or his good wishes. #IslamicTeachings, #QuranReflections, #HadithDiscussion, #IslamicHistory, #Tafsir, #IslamicSpirituality, #Fiqh, #IslamicLifestyle, #ComparativeReligion, #DawahOnline, #MuslimCommunity, #HalalLiving, #IslamicEducation, #MuslimYouth, #IslamicGuidance, #RamadanPreparation, #HajjJourney, #IslamAndScience, #IslamicEthics, #JannahGoals
