"God, ever mighty and majestic is He, says: 'The act of worship that is most beloved to Me is the giving of good counsel.'"
Muhammad, Hadith
Here is a hadith, or in this case hadith qudsi or "divine hadith" that is drawn from a collection prepared by the scholar and mystic Ibn Arabi. We've discussed the concept of hadith qudsi previously. As we know by now I'm always drawn to passages from the Quran or the hadith that lay out a practical code of conduct, and this one certainly falls within that category. Essentially, there are many ways to be a good Muslim, and one of them is to be a good friend and honest colleague.As I read this I think on the Islamic notion of always returning the worse with the better, which can clearly take many forms - one of which would be to help others understand and practice this approach.
