Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "The best of you, are my contemporaries, then those who follow them, then those who will come after them. (`Imran said, I do not know if he said this twice or thrice). Then, they will be followed by those who will testify but will not be called upon to testify; they will betray the trust, and will not be trusted. They will make vows but will not fulfill them, and obesity will prevail among them.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: In this Hadith, three eras have been called as the best of ages in a graded order: first, the Prophetic era, second, the Successors' era, and third, the Followers of the Successors' era. Goodness and religion collectively prevailed during this time. Then gradually there was an overall deterioration and every new era that the pass of time brought it, proved to be worse than the preceding one. Today's Muslims have fallen due to their weakness in character. Now, the majority of Muslims lack morals and belief as described in the Qur'an and the Hadith. The complaint is to be lodged only with Allah!

Sympathy - Life Of Ali Bin Abu Talib RA – Ml S Moola Asherville 2012 - Part 1

‘The nature of human existence on earth is riddled with challenges.’ – Ali bin Abu Talib RA. As a result of our actions, we’ve sadly become a self-destructive society without the element of sympathy from most people. Ml Sulaimaan Moola , in this talk delivered at Masjid Noor Asherville Mallinson Rd, elucidated that the only way to free ourselves from these trials and attract divine sympathy, is to align ourselves with the lives of Sahabah and synchronise our thinking with that of Sahabah RA. Then only will we witness a shift and change in the happenings of the world. Moulana outlined certain anecdotes from the exemplary life of Ali Bin Abu Taalib RA. This is part 1... Listen
