Allaah, then He will suffice him [al-Talaaq 65:3] He who obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allaah [al-Nisa’ 4:80] By no means shall you attain al-birr (righteousness) until you spend (in Allaah’s cause) of that which you love [Aal ‘Imraan 3:92] Allaah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of Affairs (for us) [Aal ‘Imraan 3:171] And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance [al-Isra’ 17:37] And turn not your face away from men with pride [Luqmaan 31:18] And be moderate (or show no arrogance) in your walking, and lower your voice [Luqmaan 31:19] And give not a thing in order to have more (or consider not your deeds of obedience to Allaah as a favour to Allaah) [al-Muddaththir 74:6] “Pay attention to Allaah and He will pay attention to you.” “If you feel no

most hated of places to Allaah are the marketplaces.” “The most beloved of food to Allaah is that which is touched by many hands (i.e., shared among many people).” “The most beloved of speech to Allaah is that a person should say, ‘Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdih (Glory and praise be to Allaah)’.” “The most beloved of people to Allaah is the one who is most helpful.” “The most beloved deed to Allaah is making a Muslim happy.” “Whoever restrains his anger, Allaah will conceal his faults.” “A bad attitude spoils a good deed just as vinegar spoils honey.” “The most beloved of people to Allaah are those who have the best attitudes.” “Beware of this world, for it is sweet and tempting.” “Control your tongue.” “Trim your moustaches and let your beards grow.” “Give back the things you have

daughter) to him.” “If Allaah wills good to the people of a household, He guides them to be gentle.” “If you do something bad, follow it by doing something good.” “If you feel uncomfortable about something, then leave it alone.” “If you judge (between people), then judge fairly.” “If you enter a house, greet the inhabitants with salaam.” “If you are reminded of Allaah, stop what you are doing

rukoo’ and sujood properly.” “Intercede and you will be rewarded.” “The most grateful of people to Allaah are those who are most grateful to other people.” The trouble with beauty is feelings of superiority. The trouble with generosity is extravagance. The trouble with noble descent is pride. The trouble with knowledge is forgetfulness. “Give to the one who denied you.” “Uphold ties with the one who cuts you off.” “Forgive the one who does you wrong.” May Allaah have mercy on the person who said “Good” and was rewarded or who remained silent and was safe. Wine is the key to all evil. The one who is more daring in giving fatwas is more deserving of Hell. Love the poor and mix with them. It is better to err in forgiving than to err in punishment. Do not judge between people when you are angry. If you want to count the faults of anyone else, count your own faults instead.

Chapter 2
Chapter 2, Some Benefits of Islam 

Islam provides many benefits for the individual and the society.  This chapter mentions some of the benefits gained through Islam for the individual.

(1) The Door to Eternal Paradise

God has said in the Quran:

 And give good news (O Muhammad) to those who believe and do good deeds, that they will have gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow....  (Quran, 2:25)

God has also said:

 Race one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and for Paradise, whose width is as the width of the heavens and the earth, which has been prepared for those who believe in God and His messengers....  (Quran, 57:21)

The Prophet Muhammad  told us that the lowest in rank among the dwellers of Paradise will have ten times the like of this world,1 and he or she will have whatever he or she desires and ten times like it.2  Also, the Prophet Muhammad  said: {A space in Paradise equivalent to the size of a foot would be better than the world and what is in it.}3  He also said: {In Paradise there are things which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human mind has thought of.}4  He also said: {The most miserable man in the world of those meant for Paradise will be dipped once in Paradise.  Then he will be asked, “Son of Adam, did you ever face any misery?  Did you ever experience any hardship?”  So he will say, “No, by God, O Lord!  I never faced any misery, and I never experienced any hardship.”}5

If you enter Paradise, you will live a very happy life without sickness, pain, sadness, or death; God will be pleased with you; and you will live there forever.  God has said in the Quran:

 But those who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them to gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow, lasting in them forever....  (Quran, 4:57)


(2) Salvation from Hellfire

God has said in the Quran:

 Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if one offered it as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.  (Quran, 3:91)

So, this life is our only chance to win Paradise and to escape from Hellfire, because if someone dies in disbelief, he will not have another chance to come back to this world to believe.  As God has said in the Quran about what is going to happen for the unbelievers on the Day of Judgment:

 If you could but see when they are set before the Fire (Hell) and say, “Would that we might return (to the world)!  Then we would not reject the verses of our Lord, but we would be of the believers!”  (Quran, 6:27)

But no one will have this second opportunity.

The Prophet Muhammad  said: {The happiest man in the world of those doomed to the Fire (Hell) on the Day of Judgment will be dipped in the Fire once.  Then he will be asked, “Son of Adam, did you ever see any good?  Did you ever experience any blessing?”  So he will say, “No, by God, O Lord!”}1
 

Real Happiness and Inner Peace

Real happiness and peace can be found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world.  God has said in the Quran:

 Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.  (Quran, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Quran will have a life of hardship in this world.  God has said:

 But whoever turns away from the Quran,1 he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.  (Quran, 20:124)

This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy.  For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night.  After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.2

(4) Forgiveness for All Previous Sins

When someone converts to Islam, God forgives all of his previous sins and evil deeds.  A man called Amr came to the Prophet Muhammad  and said, “Give me your right hand so that I may give you my pledge of loyalty.”  The Prophet  stretched out his right hand.  Amr withdrew his hand.  The Prophet  said: {What has happened to you, O Amr?}  He replied, “I intend to lay down a condition.”  The Prophet  asked: {What condition do you intend to put forward?}  Amr said, “That God forgive my sins.”  The Prophet  said: {Didn’t you know that converting to Islam erases all previous sins?}1

After converting to Islam, the person will be rewarded for his or her good and bad deeds according to the following saying of the Prophet Muhammad : {Your Lord, Who is blessed and exalted, is most merciful.  If someone intends to do a good deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him.  And if he does do it, (a reward of) ten to seven hundred or many more times (the reward of the good deed), will be recorded for him.  And if someone intends to do a bad deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him.  And if he does do it, a bad deed will be recorded against him or God will wipe it out.}2
