Top Ten Favorites

Posted by Faraz On March - 23 - 2008

There are many lists of top ten favorites. Musicians and song writers have their top ten. Radio stations play their top ten count downs. Comedians have top ten jokes. Show Biz has top ten models. etc. As a Muslim reflecting on the Quran, I could not ignore the list of top ten mentioned therein. The top ten qualities of those who will receive forgiveness and a great reward are mentioned in Surah al-Ahzab, ayah 35 (see last post for the translation). The past khutba was about these ten attributes and how we fare as “Muslims” in LIVING these attributes of people of forgiveness and jannah.

Top Ten Characteristics (khutba audio file):

  • Muslim
  • Mumin (believer)
  • Qanit (devout)
  • Sadiq (truthful)
  • Sabir (patient)
  • Khashi’ (humble)
  • Munfiq (giver)
  • Saim (faster)
  • Hafiz (guards chastity)
  • Zakir (remembers God much)


Are you included in the TOP TEN?
