Hadith 7:
The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) prevented Meccans from idol worship and other social
evils and even faced persecutions for that. He advised his followers to not only help
one who is a victim of injustice but also to stop the one who is unjust.
Main Teachings:
● The person who is ready to sacrifice his property and even his life for the sake of
Islam is the best of believers and has an exalted position.
● It also refers to two main kinds of Jihad or struggle in the way of Allah i.e spiritual
(Nafs) and financial (Maal). It instructs Muslims to safeguard their faith and to spend
their wealth to improve social conditions.
● Muslims must establish a society based on justice and righteousness. The words
‘striving hard’ with one person may also mean to spread the word of Allah.
● In some cases , it may also include armed struggle to safeguard Islam. Allah
compensates a believer for what he spends in His way as the Quran says, “There is
no (amount of money) that you spend in His cause without Him replacing
it for He’s the best of all providers” (34:39)
Actions:
● A person may strive in Allah’s way by spending time in the worship of Allah or by
doing social work in the community. A true believer after completing his fard
obligations Should strive in the way of Allah by going on to read his tahajud prayer or
tarawih prayers or finance those less fortunate than himself to perform hajj etc.
● An individual can support Islam and the community such as through one’s wealth
and resources by supporting schools and educations to remove ignorance, by
donating for health facilities for the poor by providing them livelihood and by repair
and maintenance as well as construction of mosques.
● One may raise awareness about the peaceful teachings of Islam by carrying out
welfare projects locally and internationally or by helping the poor communities
affected by conflicts.
● The Prophet exerted himself in Allah’s way both spiritually and physically and
encouraged his companions to do so. The best example is the Tabuk expedition when
his companions made financial contributions in the cause of Allah.
