2- The Garden of Guidance

2

3
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:25,820
4- "Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and be good to parents, relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor,

4
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:49,259
5- the distant neighbor, the companion by your side, the traveler, and those your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful."

5
00:00:49,259 --> 00:01:12,019
6- And on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say, "Whoever would like his provision to be expanded or his lifespan to be extended, let him maintain the ties of kinship." Agreed upon.

00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:31,390
7- Man is innately inclined to love wealth and seek its increase, just as he is naturally disposed to fear death; indeed, an increase in sustenance in all its forms and a postponement of one's appointed time are among the dearest things to his heart.

8
00:01:31,390 --> 00:01:40,590
8- Both of these blessings are attained through maintaining kinship ties, so do not forfeit them by severing those ties.
