Hadith 5 ['Every persons every joint'..]

Question 1

Main Teachings

Answer 1

• This Hadith emphasizes compassion, care, and daily acts of charity (sadaqa) in Islam.
• Charity isn’t limited to giving money, but includes any helpful action in society.
• Even appreciating the functioning of one’s body leads to the duty of helping others.
• Simple acts, like smiling or removing harm from the road, are worship when done with sincere intention.
• The Hadith teaches that worship isn’t limited to salat or fasting but includes everyday kindness done for God’s pleasure.
• As the Prophet (pbuh) said, “The best amongst people is the one who is a source of benefit for the people.”

Question 2

Action

Answer 2

• This Hadith emphasizes fulfilling social responsibilities with compassion.
• Muslims are encouraged to contribute positively to society by greeting others warmly, offering sincere advice, feeding the hungry, or settling disputes justly.
• Helping others, like assisting someone onto transport, carrying belongings, removing road obstacles, or guiding the blind, is also charity.
• The Prophet (pbuh) himself was an example of kindness, even to enemies.
• He cared for an old woman who threw rubbish at him, shared meals with guests, supported orphans, and helped the poor.
• These acts highlight that small deeds done with sincerity can become acts of worship and benefit both individuals and society
