- Everything in the life of a Muslim goes back to the Qur'an and it's commentary
- Sura 107: Ma'un
- Sura Ma'un is linked with the purposes of fasting
- Fasting is for wilpower and the souls energy, and for empathy with the needy
- Feeling for the needy encourages us to help them
- People who reject the concept of the day of judgement
- Not necessarily reject Islam entirely, but reject Judgement day morally
- 4 signs of people who reject Judgment Day
- 1. A person who 'harshly pushes' orphans away
- Emotional negligence, not necessarily only material
- 2. A person who does not 'urge others' to feed the poor
- Not necessarily about giving themselves, but also doesn't encourage others
- 3. A person who is careless about daily prayers
- Praying hastily or late, or missing them.
- Praying to show off to others
- 4. A person who denies 'simple charity'
- Lending items to neighbours, maintaining relations 
- Two types of neighbours: close neighbours and distant neighbours
- Believing in God should reflect in our behaviour
- Only 1/4 signs relate to prayer. The rest are about interpersonal relationships


"The three beliefs of Monotheism, Prophethood, and Judgement Day are so fundamental that if a Muslim denies any of them, theologically he isn't considered a Muslim."

"The Prophet says if you aren't able to help someone, at least direct him to someone who can. Then you will be a partner in charity."

"Simple charity doesn't talk about big dollars. It is as trivial as lending items to neighbours, maintaining relations. Denying this type of help is denying simple charity."

"Believing in God, Prophethood, & Judgement Day, should reflect in our behavior. 4 signs are mentioned of people who take Judgement Day lightly. Note that only 1 of them talks about prayer. The rest concern inter-human relationships. This is why rituals & prayers are only 1/10th of Islamic values. Salvation in the hereafter doesn't only depend on worship, it also depends on maintaining relations with those around you & society at large. Coupled with prayers, salvation is guaranteed in the hereafter."
