excused except those who are blatant. And it is from blatancy for one to

the morning.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

comes for anyone of you, he should praty whereever he is; the spoils of
waer have been made lawful for me, and these were never made law2ful to

been sent to all mankind." (Bukhari & Muslim)

because God does not get tired (of giving rewards) but (surely) you will
get tired. The best (act of worship) in the sight of God is that which
is done regularly." (Bukhari)

Resurrection backed with prayers, fasting, regular charity, and
pilgrimage, but also with a number of injustices to others, such as
abusing this one, taking the property of that one, slandering someone,
hitting another, or shedding the blood of someone else. Thereafter,
(his) good deeds will be taken one after one and will be given to
(those) who were wronged by him. [Muslim]
* The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "A time will come upon the people
in which a person among them practicing his Religion with perseverance
will be like one clutching onto a cinder." (Tirmidhi)
* Rasoolillah(SAW) said: Shouldn’t I tell you about an act that
is more virtuous then your fasting, salat and alms? The Sahaba
said: Why not? He said: To correct (relationships) amongst
yourselves as dissension amongst is shear (of Deen). [Tirmidhi]
* The Messenger of Allah (Allah grant him blessings and peace) said, "A time will come upon the people in which a person among them practicing his Religion with perseverance will be like one clutching onto a cinder." - Reported by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud

* A person is
approached [by the angels of punishment] in the grave from the
legs then the legs say: “You cannot approach him from here for
he used to stand on us reciting Surat al-Mulk”; when they
approach his chest it says: “You cannot approach him from here
for he preserved Surat al-Mulk in me”; and when they approach
his head it says: “You cannot approach him from here for he used
to recite Surat al-Mulk with me.” Hence this Sura is the
Immunizer (al-Mani`a), it immunizes one from the punishment of
the grave. It is mentioned in the Torah as Surat al-Mulk also.
If anyone recites it in the night he has accomplished a great
deal and has excelled! [al-Bayhaqi]
*
When you meet someone who has performed the pilgrimage, greet him, shake
hands with him and tell him to ask forgiveness for you before he enters
his house, for he has been forgiven." (Tirmidhi)
* The Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) said: "A person once went to visit
his brother in another town, and God sent an Angel to wait for
him on his way. The angel met the man and said to him: 'Where do
you intend to go?' The man said: 'I intend to go to my brother
in this town.' The angel then said: 'Have you done any favor for
him (the repayment of which you intend to receive)?' The man
replied: 'No, except that I love him for the sake of God, the
Exalted and Glorious.' Thereupon the angel said: 'I am a
messenger to you from God (to inform you) that God loves you as
you love him (for His sake).'" [Muslim]
*
Rasoolillah(SAW) said: Allah the Almighty said: I am as My servant
thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes
mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he
makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assemble
better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near
to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at
speed. (Bukhari & Muslim)
* Rasoolillaah (SAW)
said: When a child of Aadam gets up in the morning all the limbs
humble themselves before the tongue and say: Have taqwa
(piety/fear) of Allaah for our sake, for we are dependant on
you, If you are straight/upright, we are straight and If you are
crooked, we are crooked. [Tirmidhi]
Rasoolullaah (SAW) said: If anyone guarantees me what s between
their jaws (control their tongue from backbiting, slandering
e.t.c.) and between their legs (protect their private parts from
adultery, fornication e.t.c. ), I shall guarantee for them
Jannah (Paradise). [Bukhari]

Rasoolillah(SAW) said:
"The Hour will not be established until
(1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be
a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be
following one and the same religious doctrine,
(2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of
them will claim that he is Allah's Apostle,
(3) till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of
Religious scholars)
(4) earthquakes will increase in number
(5) time will pass quickly,
(6) afflictions will appear,
(7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase,
(8) till wealth will be in abundance ---- so abundant that a
wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat,
and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom
it will be offered) will say, 'I am not in need of it,
(9) till the people compete with one another in constructing
high buildings,
(10) till a man when passing by a grave of someone will say,
'Would that I were in his place
(11) and till the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will
rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will
all believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As
Allah said,) 'No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if
it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of
righteousness) through its Faith.' (6.158)
And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a
garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it,
nor fold it up; and the Hour will be established when a man has
milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not
be able to drink it; and the Hour will be established before a
man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his
animals) in it; and the Hour will be established when a person
has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able
to eat it."

tell him, you are a tyrant, then you may as well say goodbye to
then. " (Abu Dawud)
* After having praised the
almighty Abu Bakr (RA) said " O People you recite the verse
which reads , 'O you who believe you are responsible for

messenger of Allah (SAW) say " People who do not change
something wrong when they see it are on the verge of a sweeping
punishment from Allah" (Ibn Majah)

5) lower your gaze (in modesty),
6) and restrain your hands from injustice." (Al-Tirmidhi, #

* "Three things
that I swear to be true are that a man's property does not become less
on account of (giving) charity; that when a man is wronged and bears it
patiently, God will give him great honor on that account; and that when
a man (begs without need), God opens for him a door toward
poverty." (Al-Tirmidhi)
* "Whosoever relieves from a believer some
grief pertaining to this world, Allah will relieve from him some
grief pertaining to the Hereafter. Whosoever alleviates the
difficulties of a needy person who cannot pay his debt, Allah will
alleviate his difficulties in both this world and the Hereafter.
Whosoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his
faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah will aid a servant (of
His) so long as the servant aids his brother. Whosoever follows a
path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him a path
to Paradise. No people gather together in one of the houses of
Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves,
except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the
angels surround them, and Allah makes mention of them amongst
those who are in His presence. Whosoever is slowed down by his
deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage."
* Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: Allah's
Apostle(SAW) said, "I have been given five things which were not
given to any amongst the Prophets before me. These are:
- Allah made me victorious by awe (by His frightening my enemies)
for a distance of one month's journey.
- The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for
praying and a thing to perform Tayammum. Therefore my followers
can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.
- The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me (and was not made
so for anyone else).
- Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I
have been sent 1o all mankind.
- I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of
Resurrection.)

* "The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said "Four
characteristics constitute anyone who possesses them a sheer
hypocrite, and anyone who possesses one of them possesses a
characteristic of hypocrisy till he abandons it:
- when he is trusted he betrays his trust,
- when he talks he lies,
- when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously and
- when he quarrels he abuses." [Bukhari & Muslim]
* Narrated Mu'adh al-Juhani The Prophet
(SAW) said: If anyone recites the Qur'an and acts according to
its contents, on the Day of Judgment his parents will be given
to wear a crown whose light is better than the light of the sun
in the dwellings of this world if it were among you. So what do
you think of him who acts according to this? (Sunan Abu-Dawud,
Book 8, Number 1448)

of the Qur'an on the Day of Judgment, 'Recite and ascend (in

be where (you are when) the last verse of your recitation ends."

ones and the best are the virtuous among the learned. (Darimi)

avaricious persons who are never contented. The man of learning
and the man of the world, but the two are not equal; the man of
knowledge increases in submission to Allah and as for the man of
the world, he becomes head-strong and defiant. 'Abdullah then

from want (Quran 46:6). Concerning the other he cited the verse:
Surely those of His servants who are possessed of knowledge,
fear Allah (Quran 35:28). (Darimi)
