Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Ruling concerning trading in cigarettes and giving in charity from its profits

Question: What is the ruling about trading in cigarettes and the like. Is it permissible to give in charity and perform Hajj or (other) noble acts using the profits of this trade?

Response: It is not permissible to trade in cigarettes and all that is haraam. This is because they are all evil and for that where there is a harmful effect on the body, soul and wealth. If someone wanted to give in charity and perform the Hajj or spend on noble causes then it is befitting to work out that which is good (halaal) from (such) wealth and then give in charity from it, or perform the Hajj or spend on noble causes. The generality of the saying of Allaah is:

{O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned, and of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, (though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein. And know that Allaah is Rich (Free of all wants), and Worthy of all praise} [Soorah al-Baqarah, Aayah 267].

And his (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) saying:

((Certainly Allaah is good and does not accept (anything) except good)), [reported by Ahmad, Muslim, at-Tirmidhee, ad-Daarimee, al-Bayhaqee].

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
