Whatever is in the heavens and the earth, everything belongs to Allah.

Allah Ta'ala said: "And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is Ever Encompassing all things."

[Surah An-Nisa, verse 126] ,

قال الله تعالي : وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُحِيطًا ۞

[سورة النساء ، الأية ١٢٦]

[superwpm]

Everyone should seek Allah's forgiveness and repent for one's sins in the daytime and at night.

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA.), I heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) saying,"By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day."

[Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 6307] .

عَنْ أبِي هُرَيْرَةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُوْلُ " وَاللهِ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً ".

[صحيح البخاري ، رقم الحديث : ٦٣٠٧]

When a person bargains for a particular commodity, then another person comes and bargains for that commodity, it is not permissible.

Abu Hurairah (RA.) reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: "A Muslim should not purchase (in opposition) to his brother."

[Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1515 a] .

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَسُمِ الْمُسْلِمُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

[صحيح مسلم ، رقم الحديث : ١٥١٥]

[superwpm]

A person who submits himself to Allah Ta'ala, does righteous deeds and sincerely follows the footstep of Allah's Messenger, is the purest in religion.

Allah Ta'ala said: "Who is better in religion than one who submits himself entirely to Allah, does good, and follows the religion of Abraham, exclusively devoted to Allah? For Allah did take Abraham as a close friend."

[Surah An-Nisa, verse 125] ,

قال الله تعالي : وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًا مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌ وَاتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۗ وَاتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا ۞

[سورة النساء ، الأية ١٢٥]

[superwpm]

If anyone does good deeds while being a believer and dies while a Muslim, Allah Ta'ala will admit him to Paradise in the Hereafter.

Allah Ta'ala said: "And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, even as much as the speck on a date seed."

[Surah An-Nisa, verse 124] ,

قال الله تعالي : وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثٰى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ نَقِيرًا ۞

[سورة النساء ، الأية ١٢٤]

[superwpm]

Staying away from trials and temptations (Fitan) is a good deed.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al Khudri (Ra.), The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying: "A Muslim's best property will soon be sheep which he will take to the tops of the mountains and the places where the rain falls, fleeing with his religion from the trials and temptations (fitan)."

[Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 4267] .

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونَ خَيْرُ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِ غَنَمًا يَتْبَعُ بِهَا شَعَفَ الْجِبَالِ وَمَوَاقِعَ الْقَطْرِ يَفِرُّ بِدِينِهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ ‏"‏ ‏.

[سنن أبى داؤد ، رقم الحديث : ٤٢٦٧]

[superwpm]

If a person commits a sin, and if he is punished for that sin in this world, then Allah Ta'ala will not punish him again for that sin in the Hereafter.

It was narrated that 'Ubadah bin As-Samit (Ra.) said: While there was a group of his companions around him, the Messenger of Allah said: "Pledge to me, that you will not associate anything with Allah, nor steal, nor commit unlawful sexual relations, nor kill your children; you will not utter slander, fabricating from between your hands and feet, and you will not disobey me in goodness (Ma'ruf). Whoever fulfills (this pledge), his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of these actions and is punished for it, will be an expiation for him. Whoever commits any of these actions then Allah conceals him, then his affair is up to Allah; if He wills He will forgive him, and if He will punish him."

[Sunan An-Nasa'i, Hadith No. 4161] ,

أَنَّ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَحَوْلَهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ: «تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا، وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا، وَلَا تَزْنُوا، وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ، وَلَا تَأْتُوا بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرُونَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَلَا تَعْصُونِي فِي مَعْرُوفٍ، فَمَنْ وَفَّى فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا فَعُوقِبَ بِهِ، فَهُوَ لَهُ كَفَّارَةٌ، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ، إِنْ شَاءَ عَفَا عَنْهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَاقَبَهُ»

[سنن النسائى ، رقم الحديث ٤١٦١]

[superwpm]

Everyone will have a bad recompense according to the sin he commits if he does not repent.

Allah Ta'ala said: "It (the means to salvation) will not be by your desires (Muslims), nor those of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof, and he will not find any protector or helper besides Allah."

[Surah An-Nisa, verse 123] ,

قال الله تعالي : لَّيۡسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمۡ وَلَآ أَمَانِيِّ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِۗ مَن يَعۡمَلۡ سُوٓءٗا يُجۡزَ بِهِۦ وَلَا يَجِدۡ لَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيّٗا وَلَا نَصِيرٗا ۞

[سورة النساء ، الأية ١٢٣]

[superwpm]

Those who believe, do righteous deeds, and die as Muslims will surely enter Paradise.

Allah Ta'ala said: "And those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, I shall admit them to the Gardens under which rivers flow (i.e. in Paradise) to dwell therein forever. Allah’s Promise is the Truth; and whose words can be truer than those of Allah? (Of course, none)."  

[Surah An-Nisa, verse 122] , قال الله تعالي : وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَنُدۡخِلُهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٗاۚ وَمَنۡ أَصۡدَقُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ قِيلٗا ۞ [سورة النساء ، الأية ١٢٢]

[superwpm]

Those who helped the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) are the Ansari. It is reported on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The sign of a hypocrite is the hatred against the Ansar and the sign of a believer is the love for the Ansar."

[Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 74] , عن أَنَس قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ بُغْضُ الأَنْصَارِ وَآيَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ حُبُّ الأَنْصَارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

[جامع مسلم ، رقم الحديث ٧٤]

[superwpm]

If Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) are dearer to you than anything else, you will get the sweetness of faith (Iman).  

Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA.) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "There are three things for which whomever has them, then he has tasted the sweetness of faith: The one for whom Allah and His Messenger are more beloved than anything else; whoever loves someone and he does not love him except for the sake of Allah; and whoever hates to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it, just as he hates to be thrown into Fire." [Jami' at Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2624]   , عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ ثَلاَثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ بِهِنَّ طَعْمَ الإِيمَانِ مَنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا وَأَنْ يُحِبَّ الْمَرْءَ لاَ يُحِبُّهُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ وَأَنْ يَكْرَهَ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي الْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْقَذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ [جامع الترمذي ، رقم الحديث ٢٦٢٤]

[superwpm]

If someone commits Shirk (i.e., setting up partners with Allah) and he dies without repenting to Allah for his sin of shirk, then Allah Ta'ala will never forgive him.

Allah Ta'ala said: "Verily! Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners with Him, but He forgives whom He wills sins other than that, and whoever sets up partners with Allah, has indeed strayed far away."

[Surah An-Nisa, verse 116] ,

قال الله تعالي : إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغۡفِرُ أَن يُشۡرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغۡفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلَٰلَۢا بَعِيدًا ۞

[سورة النساء ، الأية ١١٦]

[superwpm]

Opposing the words or deeds of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) leads the contradictor to Hell.

Allah Ta'ala said: "And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (of Allah) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way, I shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination!" [Surah An-Nisa, verse 115] , قال الله تعالي : وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَيَتَّبِعۡ غَيۡرَ سَبِيلِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِۦ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَنُصۡلِهِۦ جَهَنَّمَۖ وَسَآءَتۡ مَصِيرًا ۞ [سورة النساء ، الأية ١١٥]

Loving Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) is an act that fulfills faith (Iman).

It was narrated that Anas (RA.) said, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "None of you has believed until I am dearer to him than his family, his wealth and all the people".

[Sunan An-Nasa'i, Hadith No. 5014] ,

عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ، وَأَهْلِهِ، وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ»

[سنن النسائى ، رقم الحديث ٥٠١٤]

[superwpm]

A quality of a real believer is what he loves for himself, he also loves that for other Muslims.

It was narrated from Anas that, The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, none of you has believed until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself of goodness."

[Sunan An-Nasa'i, Hadith No. 5017] ,

عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ»

[سنن النسائى ، رقم الحديث ٥٠١٧]

[superwpm]

If one speaks good words to gain the pleasure of Allah, then Allah Ta'ala will surely give him a great reward.  

Allah Ta'ala said: "There is no good in most of their secret talks, except for one who orders Sadaqah (charity in Allah’s Cause), or Ma‘ruf (Islamic Monotheism and all the good and righteous deeds which Allah has ordained), or conciliation between mankind; and he who does this, seeking Allah’s pleasure, I will give him a great reward." [Surah An-Nisa, verse 114] , قال الله تعالي : لَّا خَيۡرَ فِي كَثِيرٖ مِّن نَّجۡوَاهُمۡ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوۡ مَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ إِصۡلَٰحِۭ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِۚ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ مَرۡضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ فَسَوۡفَ نُؤۡتِيهِ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمٗا ۞ [سورة النساء ، الأية ١١٤]

Feeding someone Halal food is a good deed.

Abdullah bin ‘Amr (RA) said: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) Which aspect of Islam is best? He replied, "You should feed food and greet both those you know and those you do not know." [Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith No. 5194]   , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ الإِسْلاَمِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ، وَتَقْرَأُ السَّلاَمَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ ". [سنن أبي داؤد ، رقم الحديث ٥١٩٤]
