REFLECTIONS ON A HADITH

with Shaikh Abu Yusuf Tawfique Chowdhury (Australia)*

Date: Thursday 8th March 2007
Time: 6.15pm - 7.30pm [After Maghrib]
Venue: Idea Store, Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London E14 5RB

During this session we shall be reflecting on the following hadith.

Abu Hurairah (ra) reported that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said:
"Do not be envious of one another; do not artificially inflate
prices against one another; do not hate one another; do not shun
one another; do not undercut one another in business transactions;
and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the
brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him
nor looks down upon him. Piety is here - and he Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) pointed to
his chest three times. It is evil enough for a Muslim to hold his
brother Muslim in contempt. All things of a Muslim are inviolable
for another Muslim - his blood, his property and his honour."
(Sahih Muslim, Book 032, Number 6219)

* Abu Yusuf Tawfique Chowdhury was born in Bangladesh and spent
most of his childhood in Central Arabia before moving to Australia
where he now resides. He graduated from high school earning the
Academic Prize for Excellence, having attained the third highest
rank in Australia. He then studied Medicine at the University of
Melbourne before joining the University of Madinah from where he
graduated in Arabic and Shariah with distinction. As well as his
studies at the university, Ustadh Abu Yusuf has studied privately
with a number of distinguished scholars in Madinah. His teachers
include Shaikh Ahmad Rashid, Shaikh Muhammad Mukhtar al-Shanqiti
and Shaikh Abdur Razzaq al-'Abbad. He has gained ijaazah to teach
from several of them. Ustadh Tawfique is currently completing his
Medical studies at Brisbane University and has specialised in
Schizophrenia and Tiny Baby Birth. He is also a professional web
developer with over 11 years of multi-national experience in the
field of web development and database administration. He is
currently the director of Al Kauthar Institute [
which aims to deliver Islamic courses suited to Muslims living
