PERFECT

WUDHU

Abdullah Bin Muhammad (Rahmatullah alayh) narrated: "I was making wudhu on the banks of the river in Baghdad when Imaam Shaafi‟ (Rahmatullah alayh) appeared on the scene. He said to me: "O lad! Perfect your wudhu. Allah will then be kind to you in this world and in the Hereafter."

I quickly completed my wudhu and made haste in following Imaam Shaafi‟. When he saw me approaching, he said: "What is your need?" I said: "Impart to me the Knowledge which Allah Ta‟ala has bestowed to you." He said: "Speak the truth, you will be saved. He who adopts Taqwa in his Deen will remain safe from dangers. He in whom there are three attributes, his Deen will be perfect: * Amr Bil Ma‟roof - advising others to practice virtue while he himself does good.

* Nahi anil Munkar advising others to abstain from evil while he himself abstains.

* Observing the limits prescribed by Allah Ta‟ala. That is not to transgress the Shariah of Allah.
