Pearls
from the Prophet (peace be upon him)
|
"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." |
Then he asked: "What is Islam?" The Prophet (peace be
upon him) said: "Islam is that you shall worship Allah and not associate anyone with
Him and that you shall keep up prayer and pay Zakat as ordained and fast in the month of
Ramadan." The man then asked: "What is Ihsan (Goodness)?" The Prophet said:
"That you worship Allah as if you see Him, for you see Him not, surely He sees
you."
(Note: The man questioning was Angel Gabriel in human form).
