‘MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS’
By Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi
Lomond Auditorium, Glasgow SEC Centre, Exhibition Way, Glasgow. 2nd Feb 2018
How many times are we told to mind our own business? The Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed among the excellence of a person’s Islam is that he leaves alone that which does not concern him.”
What if our intervention is necessary to assist others? The Prophet ﷺ also stated: “He who amongst you who sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not the strength enough to do it, he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not the strength to do it, he should abhor it from his heart and that is the least of faith.”
How do we distinguish between matters to intervene or to mind our own?
How do we respond to all the information that we are exposed to on social media platforms?
Join us to learn when to mind your own business in the light of Prophetic traditions.

The ability to recognise your own emotions and that of others and deal with situations appropriately is having emotional intelligence.

Learning to manage anger in the light of Quran and Sunnah can have many positive effects in our lives: help with our relationships, general well-being and earn the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala.
Anger can be very destructive. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Verily anger corrupts a matter just as vinegar spoils honey.”

COPING WITH DIFFICULTIES & HARDSHIPS
By Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi
New Bingley Hall, Hockley Circus, Birmingham, Sat 10th Feb 2018
Patience and gratitude are important spiritual states. If incorporated into our daily life, they can elevate us and improve our life. The quality of the sincerely patient differentiates those who truly love Allah Ta’ala with those who make claims of love.
In the Holy Qur’an Allah Ta’ala speaks of Sayyiduna Ayyub (AS): “……truly We found him full of patience and constancy. How excellent in Our service. Ever did he turn (to Us.)” (Surah as-saad 38:44)
We must be patient and grateful of Allah Ta’ala’s favours upon us and if we thank Him, know that He “will surely increase” us. (Surah Al- Ibrahim 14:7)
We are faced with many hardships and difficulties in our life, but how do we keep patient and show gratitude to our Lord? How do we continue to keep trying when we see no hope?
Come along and learn practical ways to cope with difficulties and hardships and thus preserve your iman.
