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".

Fear of ALLAH and Morality
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]

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]
