"Nothing will be dearer to them than looking at Allah"

The Messenger of Allah SAWS said,
"When the inhabitants of Jannah enter Jannah, Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, will say to them: "Do you wish me to give you anything more?"
They will reply: "Have You not made our faces bright? Have You not brought us into Jannah and delivered us from the Hell?'
And Allah will remove the Veil. The (dwellers of Jannah) will feel that they have not been awarded anything dearer to them than looking at their Rubb.''

[Muslim]

"Haya (Shyness) and Imaan are companions, if one leaves..."

Prophet SAWS said:
"Indeed haya (modesty, shyness) and Imaan (faith) are Companions. When one of them is lifted, the other leaves as well."
(Baihaqi)

"When lewdness is a part of anything, it becomes defective; and when haya is a part of anything it becomes beautiful."
(Tirmidhi)

"Haya does not bring anything except good."
(Bukhari)

"A better act than fasting, praying and charity..."

Messenger of Allah SAWS said

"Shall I not inform you of a better act than fasting, alms and prayers?
Making peace between one another: Enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots."
(Sahih Muslim)

"Keep your heart from morning till night and from night till morning free from malice towards anyone."
(Bukhari)

"Allah forgives one who is CONSTANT in doing good deeds"

وَإِنِّى لَغَفَّارٌ۬ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحً۬ا ثُمَّ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ

“And verily, I am indeed forgiving to him who
1) Repents
2) Believes
3) Does righteous good deeds
4) And then remains constant in doing them (till his death).”

(Qur'an 20:82)

A believer never abuses, mocks or talks inappropriately

Messenger of Allah S.A.W.S said
"A believer is never a person who scoffs at others, calls them (offensive) names, or utters vulgar and obscene phrases."
(Tirmidhi)

"A believer is not a fault-finder and is not abusive, obscene, or coarse."
(Bukhari)

Prophet S.A.W.S. said: Do not abuse anyone. He s.a.w. said that he did not abuse a freeman, or a slave, or a camel or a sheep thenceforth.
(Sunan Abu Dawood)

"In Muhammad s.a.w you have a good example to follow" (Qur'an 33:21)

لَّقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ۬ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلۡأَخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرً۬ا
"Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much"
(Qur'an 33:21)


قُلۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬
Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "If you love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
(Qur'an 3:31)

"Don't wish for things that Allah has given more to others" (Qur'an 4:32)

لَا تَتَمَنَّوۡاْ مَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ۬‌ۚ لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ۬ مِّمَّا ٱڪۡتَسَبُو
"And wish not for those things in which Allah has bestowed His gifts more freely on some of you than on others"
(Qur'an 4:32)

Commentary: Do not wish for things that other people are endowed with more than you, for this is a decision that will come to pass, and wishing does not change its decree. However, ask Allah of His favor and He is the Most Generous and Most Giving.

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦۤ أَزۡوَٲجً۬ا مِّنۡہُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لِنَفۡتِنَہُمۡ فِيهِ‌ۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَبۡقَىٰ

"And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them, the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting."


(Qur'an 20:131)



Messenger of Allah Posted Image said: "When one of you looks at one who stands at a higher level than you in regard to wealth and physical structure he should also see one who stands at a lower level than you in regard to these things (in which he stands) at a higher level (as compared to him)."
[Sahih Muslim]
