Do not turn your houses like graves, and do not take my grave a place for celebration, and invoke (Allah's) blessings upon me, for your invoking of Allah's blessings upon me will reach me wherever you may be The five (daily) prayers, Friday prayer to the next Friday prayer, and Ramadan to the next Ramadan are expiation of the sins committed between them, so long as major sins are avoided Every act of goodness is charity Whoever loves to have his sustenance expanded and his term of life prolonged should maintain his kinship ties Allah, the Exalted, says: "My reward shall be nothing less than Paradise for My faithful servant who, if I take the life of his beloved one from the inhabitants of the world, he bears it patiently in expectation of My reward." The best dinar a man spends is a dinar that he spends on his dependents, and a dinar that a man spends on his mount in the cause of Allah, and a dinar that he spends on his companions in the cause of Allah Whoever provides for two girls until they reach puberty, he will come on the Day of Judgment, me and him," and he joined his fingers Which deed is dearest to Allah? He said: "Offering prayer at its earliest appointed time." I said: Then, what comes next? He said: "Dutifulness to one's parents." I said: Then, what comes next? He said: "Jihad in the way of Allah Are you not aware that Islam wipes out all (sins) that preceded it, and that Hijrah wipes out all (sins) that preceded it, and that Hajj wipes out all (sins) that preceded it? Fear Allah your Lord, pray your five, fast your month, give the Zakah due on your wealth, obey your rulers, and you will enter your Lord's Paradise Shall I not guide you to what Allah erases the sins and elevates the ranks with? O people, spread the greeting of peace, feed others, maintain kinship ties, and pray at night when people are asleep, and you will enter Paradise in peace You praised this, so Paradise has been affirmed for him, and you dispraised this, so Hell has been affirmed for him. You are Allah's witnesses on earth Allah has ninety-nine names – one hundred minus one – and no one memorizes them but that they will enter Paradise. He is One, and He loves odd numbers Observing Ribāt (guarding the Muslims' frontiers) for one day in the cause of Allah is better than the world and everything in it Indeed, Allah has made Paradise obligatory for her because of it, or He has freed her from Hellfire because of it There are forty good qualities, the best of which is the lending of a milch goat. Anyone carries out any of these virtuous deeds seeking its reward (from Allah) with firm confidence that he will receive it, Allah will admit him to Paradise The closest people to Allah are the ones who give the Salām first The best of people is the one whose life is long and his deeds are good Perhaps a disheveled, rejected person at the doors, if he were to swear by Allah, He would fulfill his oath The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was never asked anything and said 'no' Whoever spends something in the cause of Allah, it will be recorded for him as much as seven hundred times No Muslim visits a (sick) Muslim early in the morning but seventy thousand angels send blessings upon him If the slave draws closer to Me by a hand-span, I shall draw closer to him by a cubit; and if he draws closer to Me by a cubit, I shall draw closer to him by the span of two outstretched arms. If he comes to Me walking, I shall come to him running While a man was walking on a path, he found a thorn branch on the road, so he put it aside. Allah, thus, thanked him and forgave him What do you think of a man who does a good deed and people praise him for it? He said: That is instant good news for the believer Allah Almighty does not sleep, and it is not befitting of Him to sleep Indeed, I am the most God-fearing among you and the most knowledgeable of Allah Keep some of your wealth, for this is better for you If a slave serves his master sincerely and worships Allah properly, he will have a double reward Worship during times of turmoil is like emigration to me Worship at times of chaos is like emigration to me No two Muslims meet and shake hands except that their sins are forgiven before they part
