“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

 (They are the people) who follow the Messenger, the Prophet (titled as) al-Ummi (who imparts to the people from Allah the news of the unseen and knowledge and secrets of socio-economic disciplines of life without himself being taught by any human in the world); whose (eminent attributes and exquisite powers) these people find written in the Torah and the Injil (Gospel); who enjoins on them virtues and forbids them vices, declares wholesome things lawful and impure ones unlawful for them and removes from them their heavy burdens and yokes (i.e., shackles) weighing upon them (due to their acts of disobedience and blesses them with freedom). 7/157

…And (their mentality is such that) if some good fortune (benefit) comes to them, they say: ‘It is from Allah (i.e., intermediation and benevolence of the Messenger has no role in it),’ and if some adversity befalls them, they say: ‘(O Messenger!) It is from you (i.e., because of you).’ Say: ‘(In fact,) all comes from Allah.’ So, what has gone wrong with these people that they do not feel inclined to understand anything?4/78

And whatever (materials of fay—spoils) Allah restored to His Messenger ([blessings and peace be upon him] taking out) from the people of (the towns captured without war in addition to those of Qurayza, Nadir, Fadak, Khaybar and ‘Urayna) belong to Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and (the Messenger’s) near relatives (i.e., Banu Hashim and Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib) and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer (of society at large. This distribution system is to ensure) that (the whole wealth) may not circulate (only) amongst the rich of you (but should circulate amongst all the classes of society). 59/7

The Bedouins say: ‘We have believed.’ Say: ‘You have not believed. Rather say: We have accepted Islam. And the belief has not yet gone into your hearts.If you obey Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), He will not decrease anything (in reward) for your deeds. The true believers are only those who have believed in Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and then never have any doubt, and who fight in the way of Allah with their material as well as human resources. Say: ‘Are you trying to show off to Allah your Din (Religion) whilst Allah knows all that is in the heavens and in the earth?… These people are showing off to you that they have done a favour to you by embracing Islam. Say: ‘Do not show off your Islam as a favour to me. Instead, Allah is the One Who favours you by guiding you to faith, provided you are true (to belief).’ …49/14-18

Say: ‘Are you trying to show off to Allah your Din (Religion) whilst Allah knows all that is in the heavens and in the earth?… These people are showing off to you that they have done a favour to you by embracing Islam. Say: ‘Do not show off your Islam as a favour to me. Instead, Allah is the One Who favours you by guiding you to faith, provided you are true (to belief).’ ..49/18

Certainly, the believers have attained their goal, Those who become most humble and submissive in their Prayers, …keep away from absurd talk, … pay Zakat (the Alms-due [and keep purifying their wealth and souls]),..who guard their private parts (all the time), ….those who are watchful of their trusts and their pledges, 23/1-10

58/22- You will never find those who believe in Allah and the Day of Rising making friends with anyone who is hostile to Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), even though they are their fathers …….It is they in whose hearts Allah has inscribed faith and has strengthened them with His spirit (i.e., special spiritual benefit). ……. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah. It is they who are the party of (the devotees of) Allah. Remember! It is the party of (the devotees of) Allah that attain to the goal.

The Prophet ﷺ pointed at a certain tree and said to the Beduin, “Tell that tree that Allah’s Messenger summons you.” The tree swayed and brought itself out, and came to the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, saying (in an audible voice), “Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah!” The Beduin said, “Now, let it return to its place.” The Prophet ﷺ ordered it to return and it did so. Then the Beduin said, “Let me prostrate to you,” and he ﷺ replied, “No one is allowed to do that.” The Beduin said, “Then I will kiss your hands and feet,” and the Prophet ﷺ allowed him to do so.(tabrani)

“Live in this world as though you are a stranger or a traveler (passing through it).” [Muslim]

“He who remembers his Lord and he who does not, are like the living and the dead. (Muslim).

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mus’ud: “Allah’s Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, ‘(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature’s) deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into him'”[Bukhari].We have no choice in who our parents are, our race, color or nationality.

Ubadah Bin as-Samit(ra)reported that the Prophetﷺ said: Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him. On hearing this,

‘A’ishah(ra)exclaimed,”But we do hate death!The Prophetﷺresponded: This is not what it means! When death comes to a believer, he is given the tidings of Allah’s acceptance and bounties. Nothing is then dearer to him than what is ahead: he loves to meet Allah; and Allah loves to meet him. But when death comes to a disbeliever, he is given the tidings of Allah’s torture and punishment. Nothing is then more hateful to him than what is ahead: he hates to meet Allah; and Allah hates to meet him.(muslim)

Imam Abu Yusuf(ra) and Imam Abu-Hanifa (ra) both agreed that any person, who says that the Holy Quran is a created thing, is a disbeliever.”Islam is public, whereas iman is in the heart.” That is because actions are manifest publicly, and affirmation, which is in the heart, does not become manifest. (ahmad)

Intellect =servant of the heart

Heart =witnesses divine presence (no duniya in your heart )

Sin =disobedience and taubah=returning towards Allah(not to repeat and remoarse for sining).

Sin=stop at the initial stage( ie thought, when it arises)

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
