One day after Fajr, Mawlana asked about the difference in meaning that a native Arabic speaker would understand between the two words: "ضرر" (harm) and "ضِرار" (the exchange of the verb - in this case "the harm" - between two parties). This will shed some light on the meaning and the value of the Prophet's (sas) hadith (saying): "There Is No Harm or Damage in Islam - لا ضرر و لا ضِرار في الإسلام". There is no redundancy in Prophet's (sas) speech - Astaghfirullah, Never!

A brother from Kuwait was visiting Mawlana two days ago. Haji Youssef, the Kuwaiti, carried to Mawlana the love and salams of his family and all the brothers and sisters in Kuwait. Mawlana was very pleased with him and addressed him in the Sohbat, "And Spend in the Way of Allah - وانفقوا في سبيل الله".
