In short, most of our concerns are self-centred. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) embodied selflessness. He always gave preference to others over himself and considered others’ needs before his own. So, how can we be of service to those around us, just like the Prophet (ﷺ) was? Join The Gift Project (@gift_project) next Wednesday with Sheikh Sajid Umar for an insightful lecture about how we can benefit others, especially in the current pandemic, and follow in the footsteps of the most beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
