Surah Al-Baqarah: The Cow - Verses 181 & 182

Give good advice. Prophet Muhammad –peace be upon him said-: "The example of the persons abiding by God's orders and restrictions in comparison to those who violate them is like the example of passengers who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper deck while the others sat in the lower. When the lower deck passengers needed water, they had to go up to bring water and that troubled them, so they said: 'Let us make a hole in our share of the ship to get water and save ourselves and those above us from all this trouble’. If the people in the upper deck left the others to do as they wish, then all would drown, but if they prevent them, all would be safe." Learn more about giving good advice in this week’s update.
