the One who created death and life, so that He may test you as to which of you is better in deeds. And He is the All-Mighty, the Most-Forgiving, [21]

COMMENTARY: (... so that He may test you as to which of you is better in deeds...67:2). It should be noted here that Allah did not say "which of you does more deeds", but said "which of you is better in deeds?"

This indicates that it is not the quantity of actions that counts, but rather the quality of actions, that is, their being righteous and acceptable in the sight of Allah. That is why man's actions will not be counted on the Day of Judgement, but they will be weighed. In some instances, the weight of one action would be heavier than a thousand actions.

What is a Good Action?
Sayyidna Ibn Umar RA said that once the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam recited this verse and when he reached the words "better in deeds", he stopped and explained that 'better in deeds' is the person who abstains most from the things Allah has forbidden and is always ready to obey Him. [Qurtubi]

Thank You Radio Islam, for increasing my Islamic knowledge
That now I can share
and be aware...

That Monday and Thursdays are good days to fast
O no, that wont be my last
As I know my good deeds are counted
On those days, Hopefully they are mounted

For silver and gold vessels are no good now
But will be in the future, but how
If I follow the sunnah of our NABI Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam

If I follow the teachings of the Noble Quraan
O so much to learn... so much peace.

When making DUAH, I first praise Allah!!!!
I send salutations on my NABI Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam
I ask for protection from the punishment of the grave
And tis may be result of how I behave

I ask for protection from the fire…
Mmm, this may be cause im a liar…

These are the few things I have learnt
InshAllah I may not be burnt,

May Allah reward people of Radio Islam
And all those who contributed, even the Imam
For they have thought me...

To behave and be grateful and see...
The true beauty of Islam

‘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 2... Listen
