Real imaan gives you superstrength Al-‘Abbas bin ‘Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) reported God’s Messenger as saying, وَعَن الْعَبَّاس بن عبد الْمطلب قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ذَاقَ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا» . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ “He who is well-pleased with God as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad as messenger will experience the savour of faith” From this hadith we see that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was teaching the Ummah to focus on the quality......
