Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala gave Muhammad peace be upon him being the final messenger of Allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala a list of things that He wanted us to know are actually part of the prohibitions that He has declared prohibited.

So there are many things that are prohibited. Each time Allah prohibits something it is in order for us to be protected from harm, in order for us to achieve goodness, in order to regulate our lives such that we can be comforted.

And if we are in a crisis, we will definitely be comforted by understanding what is prohibited and staying away.

When it comes to Allah there is obedience. When it comes to your parents, there is kindness.

But if it is beyond or outside the obedience of Allah, then there is no obedience for the creatures when it comes to the sin against the One who created.

Allah says when you do business be open, be transparent, don’t cheat people, don’t shortchange people and you will achieve comfort in that deal.

Do not usurp the wealth of others. Don’t shortchange people in business whether it is weighing the scales or whether it is just dealing; be transparent, be open, be merciful and Allah will grant your blessings
