In this episode of Reviving Abandoned Sunnah, Dr. Imam Sherif explores a powerful prophetic teaching that is often overlooked in daily practice: fulfilling the rights of others through honesty and integrity.

The episode highlights the hadith:

“Khairukum ahsanukum qada’an — The best of you are those who are best in repaying their debts.”

Narrated by: Abu Hurayrah (RA)
Sources: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2393, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1601

This hadith reminds us of the Prophet ﷺ’s profound emphasis on responsibility, character, and accountability in all dealings.

Reflections:

• Spiritual excellence is practical: True faith is expressed not only in prayer and dhikr, but in how we treat people and honor their rights.

• Character through action: Repaying debts and fulfilling commitments shapes the believer’s character and reflects inner moral strength.

• Sunnah in everyday life: Small acts of integrity and responsibility revive the Sunnah in our homes, workplaces, and communities.

• Mercy and trustworthiness: By honoring the rights of others, we become vessels of mercy, fostering trust and harmony around us.

This episode encourages viewers to relearn, reconnect, and revive the beauty of the Sunnah through intentional, practical acts that reflect the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ.
