00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.280
On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, who said:

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.280
"Fear Allah wherever you may be,

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.280
Follow up a bad deed with a good one, and it will wipe it out,

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.280
And treat people with good character."

00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:32.539
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi,

00:00:32.539 --> 00:00:35.539
Who said it is a hasan sahih hadith.

00:00:35.539 --> 00:00:40.939
This hadith encompasses the foundations of a Muslim's righteousness

00:00:40.939 --> 00:00:43.939
In three great pieces of advice:

00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:46.939
Being mindful of Allah in private and in public,

00:00:46.939 --> 00:00:49.939
Hastening toward repentance and righteous deeds

00:00:49.939 --> 00:00:51.939
After falling into error,

00:00:51.939 --> 00:00:55.939
And treating people well with noble character.

00:00:55.939 --> 00:00:59.979
It is a comprehensive methodology for rectifying a person's relationship

00:00:59.979 --> 00:01:02.979
With their Lord, with their own self, and with others.

00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:07.040
The hadith trains the Muslim to maintain constant God-consciousness,

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.040
To never despair after committing a sin,

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.040
And to strive to spread goodness through love and good character,

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.040
Which achieves the happiness of the individual and the righteousness of society.
