Fear of ALLAH and Morality

Bukhari reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Verily those I love most and those who will be closest to me are those of you who have the best morals."
And he (SAW) was asked once about the best assets that would make a Muslim enter Heaven, he said: "The fear of Allah and good morals".


Humbleness in Prayers

"The believers have succeeded. Those who humble themselves in their prayers" [Interpretation of the meaning of Holy Qur'an 23:1-2]


Rulings are ultimate

"It is not fitting for a believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision. If anyone disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong path" [Interpretation of the meaning of Holy Qur’an 33:36]

Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) said, "The Muslim Ummah is like one body, if a part gets hurt the whole body feels the pain".

The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides a man (to Islam) through you, it is much better for you than being blessed with the best pleasures of this world." [Bukhari]

Furthermore, the Prophet (s.a.w) didn't even leave an excuse for an indolent or negligent person by asserting: "Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence." [Bukhari, Tirmidhee & Ahmad]

The Prophet(SAW) said: 'I am the Prophet of Battle; I am the Prophet of Mercy"

“A man said: O Messenger of Allah, guide me to a deed that is equal to Jihad? He said: I do not find an act which is equal to it in reward. He then said: Can you continue prayer and fasting unceasingly as long as the Mujahid is fighting in the cause of Allah? He replied: Who can do this?” (Reported by Al-Bukhari)

Forgive him who wrongs you; Join him who cuts you off; Do good to him who does evil to you; And speak the truth even if it be against yourself.
