Our first session of Heartwork in Ramadan, we'll be turning to the concept of mercy - how in these blessed days, we have more opportunities than ever to receive the mercy of Allah.⁠

⁠

But how do I engage in receiving this mercy? And what impacts will I see on this mercy in my life?⁠

Heartwork is a chance to come together with friends, have something to eat, and enjoy a group discussion on lessons and reflections from the Quran.

Tonight’s Hadith is the Prophetic way of dealing with mistakes and immorality. When we see something around us that we know is incorrect, how do we address it? Do we physically change it? Do we have to speak out against it, no matter the consequences? Am I weak in faith if I feel bad but am not able to get myself to act to change what I see?⁠

The Prophet ﷺ lays down a foundational principle of justice in this week's hadith: "if people were to be given everything that they claim, they would claim the lives and wealth of others; but, the onus of proof is upon the claimant, and the taking of the oath is on the one who denies."⁠

⁠

The principle of innocence until proven guilty, and that the burden of proof is upon the claimant is something that we are familiar with in western democratic justice systems, but this principle was established first and foremost by the Prophet ﷺ over 1400 years ago.

When addressing the difficulty of the rejection the Prophet, peace be upon him, was facing in Makkah, Allah (swt) referenced the soundness of his mental wellness as a reinforcement that what he was going through at the hands of his enemies in Quraysh was not an indication of any mental illness.⁠

⁠

In both the Quran and the Hadith narrations Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, addresses spiritual wellness as being tied to mental wellness (and vice versa). Yet, so often, we see mental health being discarded as unimportant and incorrectly bandaged by spirituality generalizations, and we also see a doubt in the power of spirituality as a way of healing in the modern mental health era.⁠

This week’s hadith is the source for one of the primary principles in Islamic legal theory: the Prophet ﷺ said, “there should be no harming (of others) nor reciprocating harm.” This hadith determines that actions which might seem benign can in fact be problematic if they are the source of direct harm to someone or one’s self.⁠
