CLOSEST CONNECTIONS FINALE‼️What if your entry into Jannah… was delayed—or even denied—because of how you treated those next door?🏘️The Prophet ﷺ emphasised good treatment of neighbours again and again… so much so that the Companions thought they would be given a share of inheritance!

Join us for the final session on Adab Al Mufrad, as Ustadh Zareef uncovers:• The collection of Hadith on our weighty responsibility to our neighbours• Practical ways to live this teaching daily • How conduct with your neighbours could be a path to Paradise… or a prevention from it
