00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,280
"Fear Allah wherever you may be,

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,280
Follow up a bad deed with a good one, and it will wipe it out,

8

And treat people with good character."

00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,539
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi,

10
00:00:32,539 --> 00:00:35,539
Who said it is a hasan sahih hadith.

This hadith encompasses the foundations of a Muslim's righteousness

12
00:00:40,939 --> 00:00:43,939
In three great pieces of advice:

13
00:00:43,939 --> 00:00:46,939
Being mindful of Allah in private and in public,

14
00:00:46,939 --> 00:00:49,939
Hastening toward repentance and righteous deeds

15
00:00:49,939 --> 00:00:51,939
After falling into error,

16
00:00:51,939 --> 00:00:55,939
And treating people well with noble character.

17
00:00:55,939 --> 00:00:59,979
It is a comprehensive methodology for rectifying a person's relationship

18
00:00:59,979 --> 00:01:02,979
With their Lord, with their own self, and with others.

19
00:01:02,979 --> 00:01:07,040
The hadith trains the Muslim to maintain constant God-consciousness,

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,040
To never despair after committing a sin,

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,040
And to strive to spread goodness through love and good character,

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,040
Which achieves the happiness of the individual and the righteousness of society.
