The act coming from the heart whether it is small or big and so forth. In a sense, an act of truthfulness. Thank you so much. You are helping me contemplate more on those words which are also big concepts at the same time. May Allah reward you as well.<BR/><BR/>Husseinhusseinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422817645073536753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9808370.post-10103600762234590182008-12-14T18:26:00.000-06:002008-12-14T18:26:00.000-06:00Assalam-u-alaekum, Interesting, My understanding o...Assalam-u-alaekum, <BR/>Interesting, My understanding of the concept of sadaqa ( charity/other deeds) as realted to its root word was a believer truly meaning what they say by actions(the siddeeq) as demonstrated by parting with wealth or investing other resources. So according to the hadeeth even a smile can be a sadaqa. Which would imply that TRUTH is not merely lip service on part of believer but a demonstratable reality in their lives. And Allah knows best. So in this regard, your pairing the concepts of the truthful statement of Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala with actuality of unfolding of event makes more sense. For He is the Ilah, the One worhty of worship with absolute control and thereby His STATEMENTS=REALITY. May Allah reward you.sahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13301417056251133160noreply@blogger.com
