Sheikh Abbad Tahir

In this powerful bayan, the speaker explains the true meaning of the bankrupt person as described in Islam. While many people think bankruptcy means losing wealth, the teaching of the Prophet ﷺ reveals a much deeper reality. On the Day of Judgment, a person may come with prayers, fasting, and charity, yet still be considered bankrupt because of the ظلم (oppression) and harm they caused to others.

This reminder highlights the importance of protecting our deeds by guarding our tongues, actions, and relationships with others. Backbiting, slander, injustice, and hurting people can cause a person’s good deeds to be taken away and given to those they wronged.
