The Prophets Legacy by Sheikh Tariq Appleby No. 4

Today I learned about the prophets Legacy:

"This world is no more than temporary joys, and there is no temporary joy of this work that is better than a righteous wife."

It is like not having soap, you will not die without soap, so that is like it, someone who motivates you to pray on time if you marry someone who loves Allah, then that is good, we like superficial things, we are attracted to things, Games, people, there are times in your life, you wanted, but when you got it it is like "O.K."

"Any woman who dies when her husband is pleased with her will enter Paradise."

This is a Hadith, that if a woman dies before her husband, and the husband is happy that they lived together, and the husband is happy, then she will live a happy life in Jannah, there is a bare minimum in life, but in Islam, go the extra mile, put in maximum effort, go the extra mile when doing things, like every backing down, put maximum effort when doing things, 

"Jibreel kept on enjoining the good treatment of neighbors to the extend that I thought that he would include neighbors as heirs."

Jibreel kept telling the prophet, that prophet thought, your neighbor will inherit your things too.

"May his nose be rubbed in the dust, may his nose be rubbed in the dust may his nose be rubbed int the dust." It was said: "Who, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "The one whose parents, one or both of them, reach old age during his lifetime and he does not enter Paradise."

It means, If your face is rubbed in the dust, then that is a way of Humiliation, it also means you are not taking care of your parents that are old, don't abandon your parents.

"He is not one of us who does not show compassion to our little ones or respect our older ones."

It is if you are an adult you need to show mercy to those who are younger than you, don't be that person "See, you are younger so clean my room." Don't be like that.

"Women may be married for four things: their wealth, their lineage, their beauty, and their religion. So you should take possession of (marry) the religious women (otherwise) you will be a loser."

It is ok to choose spouses because these things, marry someone because they are good and religious, these are good things, but the best is. Religious, to have a spouse that fears Allah, they avoid sins, they have good character, many women will wear hijab, and not pray, you can choose, from: Asking people that person knows, and seeing what she does about prayer times, it does not mean HAPPILY EVER AFTER, NOPE. NOPE, movies give a false view of marriage, not saying don't' watch movies though. 

"You will not enter Paradise still you (truly) believe, and you will not (truly) believe until you love one another. Shall I not tell you of something which, if you do it, you will love one another> Spread (the greetings of) Salam amongst yourselves.

If you want to enter Jannah then we need nature love for each other, great people you know and don't know, spread salam,  there are five categories, 

words of appreciation, spend quality time, helping each other, hugs (for the kids' sake, because they are young, it really physical touch), and giving a gift, here are a few of them: paid gifts, and a handwritten letter, and picked things (flowers), making gifts is taking the effort, if you make a table, out of wood, that is ok, but making it is better because you know how much you love them, and it has a higher value than a store-bought table.
