"Guard yourselves against six
things, and I am your surety for Paradise. When you speak, tell the truth; fulfil when you
promise; discharge your trust; be chaste in thought and action; and withhold your hand
from striking and from taking that which is unlawful and bad." |
|
"You will not enter Paradise
until you have faith, and you will not complete your faith until you have love for one
another." |
|
"Hell is veiled in delights, and
Heaven in hardships and miseries." |
|
The proud will not enter Paradise, nor
a violent speaker. Mohammad (peace be upon him) said: "That person will not enter
Paradise who has one atom of pride in his heart." |
|
"There are three persons who will
not enter Paradise: A habitual drunkard, one who cuts off bloodties and one who believes
in sorcery." |
|
When asked: "What is Islam?"
Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) said: "Abstinence from prohibitions and
obedience to the commandments of Allah." |
|
"Religion is easy, and no one
exerts himself too much in religion but it overpowers him; so act aright and keep to the
mean and be of good cheer and ask of Divine help in the morning and in the evening and
during a part of the night." |
|
The Prophet (peace be upon him) was
one day sitting outside among the people when a man came and asked, "What is Iman
(Faith)?" He said: "Iman is that you believe in Allah and His angels and in
meeting with Him and in His Messengers and that you believe in being raised to life after
death." |
