Accepting trials takdir we cannot change:

• We should not complain / blame fate

b) Respecting time, discipline, and the commands of Allah

b) Tawakkul (Reliance on Allah )

Hadith:

“Wealth does not decrease because of sadaqah.”

c) Ukhuwwah (Brotherhood)

-When we help others, we build a sense of empathy, and love within the community.

-Those who are helped will feel valued and not left out.

THE RELATION BETWEEN UKHUWWAH & SADAQAH

1. Even a small sadaqah is counted by Allah

-It may seem small to us, but it is great in the sight of Allah.

2. Through that small act of kindness, ukhuwwah can be formed

-When we constantly do small acts of good for those around us, that’s what builds heartfelt connections

One small act of kindness ➡️ opens someone’s heart ➡️ that person also does good in return ➡️ eventually, a loving community is formed
