_____________ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “O’ people! Verily, there is no prophet after me, nor any Ummah after you (Muslims). So, take care to worship your Lord, perform your five ritual prayers, fast in the appointed month (Ramadan), make pilgrimage to the House of your Lord (Mecca), give the alms of your wealth in order to purify your souls thereby.’’ _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The one who takes prayer light is not of me. No, by Allah such a person will not reach the Haud, Pond of abundant.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Say each of your prayer as if it were your last prayer.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The worship done by the one who earns his living on unlawful money is similar to a building constructed upon sand.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “At the (appointed) time of every prayer (salat), I hear a caller who calls and says: “O children of Adam! Keep up prayers in order to extinguish the fire you have lit against yourselves (by committing sins).” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The most (important) things that cause people to reach Heaven are divine piety and a good temper.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] advised: “When making a decision to do something, think about its outcome. If it is good for your advancement and development, follow it, but if it is misleading, leave it out.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Show veneration for Allah similar to the way that you would mind your manners in front of a righteous person among your kinsmen.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Surely, human beings from the time of Adam up to now are the same as the teeth of a comb are, and there is no superiority for the Arab over non-Arab or for the red race over the black race except for piety.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The likeness of my Ahlul-Bayt (progeny) amongst my Ummah (followers) is similar to Noah’s Ark. Those who embarked on it were rescued and those who rejected it perished.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Make your gatherings lively with the remembrance of Ali- ibn-Abi-Talib.” (Talk about the Excellencies of Ali [a]). _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Shall I introduce ‘a believer’ to you? A believer is the one whom other believers trust with their souls and wealth. Shall I introduce ‘a Muslim’ to you? A Muslim is the one from whose hand and tongue other Muslims are safe. It is unlawful (Haram) for a believer to do wrong against another believer, or leave him/her in a lurch, or backbite against him/her, or suddenly reject him/her.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Do not look at the minuteness of the sin, but see Whom you have sinned against.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who propagates religious affairs without having required competency does a disservice to the religion rather than serving it.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Knowledge is Allah’s deposit on the earth and scholars are His trustees of it. Therefore, he who acts according to his knowledge has really delivered His deposit.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The good of this world and the world to come is with knowledge.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who searches for knowledge is similar to a person who fasts during the day and keeps vigil at night and is busy worshipping. If a person acquires a branch of knowledge, it is better for him than possessing as much gold as the height of Abu Qubais Mount which he would distribute in the way of Allah.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Someone who possesses knowledge on a subject but conceals it when he is asked will be bridled with reins of fire.” (Therefore, if a person possesses information that would help a bewildered person and improve his situation but he remains silent, he has surely committed a great sin.) _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The Quran is Allah’s university; so, learn as much as you can in this university.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Verily, what will continue to reach a believer, after his death, from amongst his actions and good deeds are: the knowledge which he taught and spread, the righteous child whom he left behind, and the Holy script which he delivered as heritage (transcribed, and made available).” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “There are two groups of my Ummah that when they are pious, my Ummah will be upright and when they are immoral my Ummah will be corrupt.” The Messenger of Allah [s] was asked who they were, and he answered: “The religious scholars and rulers.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “O’ Ali! Gabriel wished to become a human being for seven reasons, which are: 1. Congregational prayer. 2. Companionship with scholars. 3. Establishing peace between two persons. 4. Honouring the orphans. 5. Visiting the sick. 6. Attending a funeral procession. 7. Giving of water to Pilgrims. Then, be desirous of these things.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said that the disciples of Jesus [a] asked him with whom they should make friends, and he [a] replied: “With one whose presence reminds you of God, his speech increases your knowledge and his deed inspires you (to work righteously for) the next world.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The sigh of the people of Hell is mostly because of the postponement of repenting.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] told Ali- ibn-Abi-Talib [a]: “O’ Ali! Blessed is he who Allah looks upon while he is weeping for the sin that none is aware of except Allah. (Various traditions emphasize that one must not let others know of his sins. One must make confessions about his sins only to Allah and, then, repent.) _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “During the third part of every night and on the night before Friday from the beginning (until the break of dawn) Allah sends an angel unto the sky of the earth in order to call: ‘Is there any needy who asks that I may bestow upon him his need? Is there any repentant one that I may return to him? Is there any seeker of forgiveness that I may forgive him?’” Note: Islamic traditions teach that sleeping on the night before Friday is called ‘the regret sleep’; for, on the Reckoning Day, people will regret very much that they had been asleep on the nights before Fridays. _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who leads (others) to piety (will be rewarded) the same as the doer of that good action.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “If it were not hard upon my Ummah, I would enjoin them to brush (their teeth) with every prayer.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “On the Day of the Resurrection a caller will announce: “Where are the oppressors and their assistants and those who prepared an inkwell for them or fastened a bag for them or supplied the ink of a pen (for them)? Then, gather these (people) with them!’” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who hurts a Muslim believer, surely he has hurt me.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who unlawfully and usurpingly deprives a believer of wealth, Allah will continue to be displeased with him and does not accept his good actions that he fulfills; and none of them will be recorded among his good deeds until he repents and returns the wealth which he had taken to its owner.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “When you meet each other then initiate greeting (salam) and embrace; and when you separate from each other, then depart with seeking forgiveness.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The time when my Ummah (Muslim followers) merely count on others to enjoin right and forbid wrong, in fact, they have declared a fight against Allah, the Exalted.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “To prevent a Muslim from doing an unlawful action is equivalent with Allah to the performance of seventy accepted Hajj.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The one who sees a wrong action done should prohibit it by his deed, if he is capable, of course; and if he cannot do that, he should prohibit it by his tongue, but if he is not able to do even that, he may forbid it by his heart.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who enjoins right and prohibits wrong is the vicegerent of both Allah and His Messenger on the earth.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: ” Whensoever my Ummah undertake to enjoin right and prohibit evil and associate in establishing benevolence, they live happily and prosperously; but when they stop doing so, the blessings will be taken off from them.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Affliction caused by the tongue is worse than (that caused by) the strike of the blade of a sword.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Among all things, the tongue deserves to be prisoned longer than anything else.” (Because most of our sins are committed by it, such as backbiting, telling lies, defaming, mocking, insulting, etc.) _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The destruction of man lies in three (things): his stomach, his lusts, and his tongue.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Slander acts quicker against the faith of a Muslim believer than leprosy does against his body.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “The abandoning of backbiting is more valuable to Allah, Almighty and Glorious, than the performance of ten thousand rak’at of recommended prayers.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Man is influenced by the faith of his friends. Therefore, be careful of whom you associate with.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who decreases a grief out of the grievers of this world for his Muslim brother, Allah will decrease for him a grief out of the grieves of the Hereafter.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “People are the dependents of Allah for sustenance, so the most beloved one of people with Him is the one who is helpful to the dependents Allah and makes the family members of a house happy.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “He who helps a Muslim believer (in his troubles), Allah, Almighty and Glorious, will remove from him seventy-three agonies, one of which is in this world and seventy-two other agonies at the time of Great Agony, when people are busy with themselves (in Hereafter).” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “Ask (questions from) the learned, speak with the wise, and associate with the poor.” _ The Holy Prophet [s] said: “When charity (alms) is delivered out of the hand of its owner, it (the thing being given) says five things: ‘At first I was perishing and you gave me life; I was insignificant and you made me great; I was an enemy and you turned me into a friend; you used to protect me then but now I will protect you up to the Day of Resurrection’.” _
