| ‘None of you has truly believed, until he desires for his brother, that which he desires for himself’ declared the Prophet
صلى الله عليه و سلم.
One can never hope to attain Taqwa (fear of Allah) and be truly
successful in religion until one adopts and practices selflessness. It
was the selflessness and the self-sacrifice of the Prophet
صلى الله عليه و سلم and the Sahabah
رضي الله عنه
which was responsible for Islam reaching us today. Islam has placed a
great emphasis on the spirit of sacrifice within many of its teachings.
Selfishness is a disease which is rampant amongst people, both Muslims
and non-Muslims. This talk discusses some aspects of selfishness. |
