ISLAM AND THE WEST - 73

 KEEPING A PROMISE

 

“Those who break their promises would, before being finally punished in the other world, be humiliated before the whole human race when it assembles together on the Day of Judgment, for a flag would be placed as a stigma beside everyone who has committed this sin, and the bigger the crime, the higher would the flag be.” (Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him)

Usmani Discourses Volume. 2

  Alhamdulillah the second volume of the collection of translations of Mufti Taqi Usmani sahib's (DB) talks is now ready. Because of the Covid situation around the world I decide to just publish it as an e-book at this time. However, there is no restriction on anyone who wants to publish it in print and may want to distribute it. My first and foremost thanks and gratitude to Mufti Taqi Usmani sahib himself.

When my father retired, he had a 3rd floor flat, a  lump sum amount, and a 800 cc car to his name. He was also allotted some land in rural Sindh which he never claimed.  His pension used to be PKR 14,000 per month which in those days would have translated to about USD 240.
