I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, ‘If you were to rely on Allah as He should be relied on, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds. They go out in the morning hungry and return in the evening full.’
Umar رضي الله عنه (Tirmidhi)
I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, speaking in the Hajj of Farewell. He said, ‘Fear Allah, pray your five prayers, fast your month, pay the zakat on your property and obey your amirs and you will enter the Garden of your Lord.
Abu Umama Sudayy ibn ‘Ajlan al-Bahili رضي الله عنه (Tirmidhi)
Allah wrote good actions and bad actions and then made that clear. Whoever intends to do a good action and then does not do it, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will write a full good action for him. If he intends to do it and then does it, Allah will write ten to seven hundred good actions multiplied many times over. If he intends an evil action and then does not do it, Allah will write a full good action for him. If he intends it and then does it, Allah will write one bad action for him.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) (Bukhari & Muslim)
How merciful Allah is!

The Prophet's (SAW) soft heart
The Holy Prophet (SAW) was known in the Quran by his moniker “a mercy to the worlds.” (21:107) He was an embodiment of righteousness and piety. Along with this, he was gentle and kindhearted. Verily,the Quran makes mention of this fact; “[O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you.” (3:159) This shows the importance of this trait, it was due to this characteristic that the Prophet (SAW) was so loved by his companions, and why so many people gravitated toward him. It was due to his exemplary conduct that the pugnacious Arabs flocked to him.

Smile it's Sunnah!
Now, one easy way to gain good deeds, without any hardship, is we smile to our siblings in Religion. The Prophet (SAW) was a mercy to all the worlds, he taught us to always greet people with a cheerful countenance. Jarir ibn Abdullah (RA) narrates: “Whenever Nabi (SAW) saw me, he smiled at me” (Bukhari) What an amazing sight that must have been! The most beautiful of creation, both in appearance and character, smiling at you, no wonder the Companions adored him. (From https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/08/06/smiling-in-islam/?preview=true)
How grateful was the Prophet (SAW) ?
If you wish to see the epitome of being grateful to Allah then look no further than the Prophet; his pure wife Aisha reports that, “He would engage in such lengthy tahajjud salah, that his feet would swell. When she said to him, ‘You are exerting yourself so much, even though Allah has forgiven all your past and future sins [if you were to commit any]? The Prophet replied, ‘Should I not be a grateful servant then?'” (Muslim) Who are we that we should not show gratefulness to Allah, when the greatest of creation was so particular in doing so? Have we become so degenerate? If only we understood the status of our noble Messenger we would not sleep at night, busying ourselves in prayer.

Don't be despondent!
The Best of creation has stated “Allah, exalted is He, said, “Son of Adam, as long as you call on Me and hope in Me, I will forgive you whatever comes from you [of wrong actions] and I do not care. Son of Adam, even if your wrong actions were to reach to the clouds of the sky and then you seek forgiveness of Me I will forgive you. Son of Adam, even if you were to come to Me with nearly the earth in wrong actions, and then later you meet Me, not associating anything with Me, then i will definitely bring you nearly as much as it [the earth] in forgiveness”.” (Tirmidhi) What a beautiful Hadith! It makes the eyes of sinners fill with tears, after hearing this, how can anyone assume that they won’t be forgiven? If we were to learn our Religion would anyone ever become despondent in Allah’s mercy? But as stated in the Hadith one of the conditions for this mercy is that we call upon Allah and we hope in Allah.

You will be judged!
Do not be fooled! On the Day of Judgement Allah will know the reason you performed your actions. The Prophet of Allah has informed his nation: “The first person to have judgement passed on him on the Day of Rising will be a man who was killed as a martyr (shahid) and he will be brought, and He will show him His blessings and he will acknowledge them. He will say, ‘So what did you do for them?’ and he will say, ‘I fought for You until I was killed as a martyr (shahid).’ He will say, ‘You lie! But rather you fought so it might be said, “[He was] daring,” and that has been said.’ Then the command will be given and he will be dragged on his face and thrown in the Fire. [Then there will be] a man who learnt knowledge and taught it and who recited the Quran. He will be brought, and He will show him His blessings and he will acknowledge them. He will say, ‘So what did you do for them?’ and he will say, ‘I learnt knowledge and taught it, and recited Quran for You.’ He will say, ‘You lie! But rather you learnt knowledge so that someone might say, “[He is] a man of knowledge,” and you recited Quran so that someone might say, “[He is] a Quran reciter,” and it has been said.’ Then the command will be given and he will be dragged on his face until he is thrown into the Fire. [Then there will be] a man to whom Allah was enormously generous giving him all kinds of wealth. He will be brought and He will show him His blessings and he will acknowledge them. He will say, ‘So what did you do for them?’ and he will say, ‘I didn’t leave any way in which You love wealth to be spent but that I spent in it for You.’ He will say, ‘You lie! But rather you did it so that someone might say, “He is very generous,” and it has been said.’ Then the command will be given and he will be dragged on his face until he is thrown in the Fire.” (Muslim) This Hadith illustrates the reality of deeds on the Day of Judgement, how can any of us think that we can fool the One who is All-Knowledgeable. This is sheer idiocy, rather the only people we fool are ourselves. (To read further click: https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/07/07/the-dangers-of-ostentation/?preview=true )
Make sure it's halal!
The famous Hadith which is used in regards to consuming pure food has been narrated by Abu Hurayrah (Allah be pleased with him): “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Allah, exalted is He, is pure and only accepts that which is pure. Allah orders the believers with that with which he ordered the Messengers, and He says, exalted is He: “Messengers, eat of the good things (tayyibat) and act rightly” (23:51) and He says, exalted is He: “You who have Iman! eat of the good things (tayyibat) We have provided for you.”(2:171)’ Then he mentioned a disheveled dusty man lengthening his journey and stretching out his hands to the sky, [saying], ‘Lord,Lord!’ and his food is haram, his drink is haram, his clothing is haram, and he has been fed on the haram, so how can that be answered?” (Muslim) Look at the outcome of this man, even though he was calling unto his Lord, it was unaccepted because of his impure lifestyle. His food was impermissible, how many Muslims at this point in time are knowingly consuming haram? How can we expect the Help of Allah if such a basic thing is neglected? (To read further click: https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/08/20/the-excellence-of-patience/?preview=true )
The Prophet ( SAW) and Remembering Allah
In regards to the Prophet of Allah, it was said about him: “The Messenger of Allah used to remember Allah at every moment” (Muslim) This was the extent the Best of creation used to go to, his heart was always connected to Allah. His heart would not be neglectful to Allah’s remembrance. We can see his connection in this tradition: “The Prophet said to Ibn Masud, “Recite the Quran to me.” He asked, “Should I recite it to you when it was revealed to you?” He answered, “I love to hear it from someone other than me.” So he recited to him and his eyes overflowed with tears” (Bukhari) (Muslim) We can see from this incident the truth of Allah’s statement in the Quran: “Believers are only they whose hearts tremble with awe whenever God is mentioned, and whose faith is strengthened whenever His messages are conveyed unto them, and who in their Sustainer place their trust” (8:2) How many of us can say this about ourselves? Do we become fearful when the Quran is recited? Or do we become bored and let our minds wander? It is lamentable that the Muslims no longer ponder over the Book which changed human history. (Extracted from: https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/06/22/the-importance-of-remembering-allah/?preview=true )
The Prophet (SAW) and Evil Eye
The Prophet also used to seek Protection from the evil eye: “The Prophet used to seek refuge from the Jinn and the evil eye of mankind” (Tirmidhi) (Nasai) Even Allah has told his Prophet: “Say: I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of the daybreak, from the evil of what He has created, and from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away), and from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots, and from the evil of the envier when he envies” (113: 1-5) Envy is indeed a very dangerous thing, it is an illness which afflicts many. That is why we should supplicate to Allah to save us from it.

Prophet (SAW) and cleanliness
The Noblest of Messengers has also elucidated on the importance of cleanliness: “Cleanliness is half of faith” (Muslim) This should illustrate the importance that cleanliness holds in religion. It is an crucial part of complete belief, it should, therefore, be given its right. (Taken from: https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/06/09/cleanliness-in-islam/?preview=true )
The Prophet (SAW) and modesty
Modesty is a salient aspect of Islam, as reported by the Noblest of Messengers: “The Prophet (SAW) passed by a man while he was remonstrating with his brother about his bashfulness (haya), saying, ‘Really, you are [too] bashful,’ as if he was saying, ‘It is causing you harm,’ so the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Leave him alone, for modesty is a part of Iman (Faith).'” (Bukari) (Muslim) Again, this demonstrates the brilliance of modesty and the fact that it is a very lofty characteristic. One who has this quality in abundance is truly blessed, he should thank his Lord in abundance, whereas, on who lacks this trait should beseech his Lord to increase it within himself. If a person wants to perfect his faith, then acquiring modesty is a prerequisite. You cannot be immodest, vulgar, callous and hope that you will obtain the pleasure of Allah. Rather adopt the qualities of the Prophets; be modest in speech and character. (Excerpt from: https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/06/04/importance-of-modesty/?preview=true )
Knowledge and Spirituality
It is because we lack knowledge that we are so far from Allah, he states: “Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed.” (39:9) Here Allah is explicit in comparing those with knowledge and without it. He is trying to show us the importance of understanding who He (Allah) is. Naturally, if a person knows more about the magnificence of Allah, his benevolence, his might, the uncountable bounties that he has bestowed upon us; then how can this person disobey him?!
(Excerpt from: https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/05/29/the-status-of-knowledge/?preview=true )
What do we know?!
We should be crying over the fact that many of us know more about celebrities than we know about our own Prophet. We know more about athletes than we know about the Companions (Allah be pleased with them). We can spend hours upon hours, discussing TV series, sports, movies but when it comes to our religion we find ourselves dangerously lacking. The knowledge of your favorite Footballers or Singers will not benefit you in your grave as the Prophet has stated: “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); knowledge which is beneficial; or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (the deceased).” (Muslim) These things will benefit you, the knowledge you have learnt and taught; not the favorite food your Boy-bands like. (Taken from: https://muhammadalfaysalali.wordpress.com/2016/05/29/the-status-of-knowledge/?preview=true )
The Prophet (SAW) and swearing
The Beloved Prophet has said: “O ‘Aaishah! Have you ever seen me speaking a bad and dirty language? (Remember that) the worst people in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or from their transgression.” (Bukhari) Are we from this category of people? This was not the message the Prophet came with. He was sent to perfect a person’s character. It is a point of lamentation that Muslims are no longer known as the people of character, the people of etiquette, the community of manner. They are known as quite the opposite.
