- One that is neither old nor young
- One that is not used for plowing or irrigation
- One that is of a specific color

The Importance of "Hear and Obey"

As Muslims, we are commanded to hear and obey Allah's commandments without question.
Bani Israel fell short of this commandment by asking too many questions.
Examples of those who followed Allah's commandments without question include Ibrahim, Ismail, and Yusuf.
Their reward was paradise and Allah's pleasure.
The importance of keeping company with those who "hear and obey" lies in their positive influence and encouragement to follow Allah's commandments.
