  7. “May Allah brighten the face of the person who hears what I say and retains it, then conveys it to others; for sometimes one who hears from another remembers it better than the original hearer himself.”  (Ahmad and Tirmidhi)

  8. “Convey even if it is only one verse.”   (Sahih Al Bukhari) “By the time, verily man is in loss, except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and join (together) in the mutual enjoining of Truth, and of patience and constancy.”  (Surah Al-Asr)

  9. It is your turn! • Thoughts • Comments • Questions • Suggestions May Allah reward you with good in this life, with good in the next life and protect you from the fire. Amin.
