"Will I enter Paradise if...."

Nu'man b. Qaufal came to the Holy Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Would I enter Paradise if I say the obligatory prayers and deny myself that which is forbidden and treat that as lawful what has been made permissible (by the Shari'ah)?

The Holy Prophet (may peace amd blessings be upon him) replied in positive.

Allah chose these words for the Angels..

Allah's Messenger (may peace and blessings be upon him) was asked as to which words were the best. He said:
"Those which Allah chose for His Angels and His servants: "Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him (SubhanAllah WabiHamdihi).""


(Sahih Muslim)

"Knowledge without Benefit, Heart without Allah's fear, Soul without contentment, Du'a without response"

Messenger of Allah S.A.W.S. supplicated

"O Allah, grant to my soul the sense of righteousness and purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier thereof. Thou art the Protecting Friend thereof, and Guardian thereof.
O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the knowledge which does not benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allah), from the soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded."

Sahih Muslim

"Save from the evil of what I did & what I didn't do"

Allah's messenger S.A.W.S. used to supplicate:

"O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done."

[Sahih Muslim]

Beautiful Dua: "Distance me from sins as the distance between East & West"

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make these supplications:

"O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the trial of Hell-Fire; and from the torment of Hell-Fire; and from the trial of the grave and torment of the grave; and from the evil of the trial of the affluence and from the evil of the trial of poverty and I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of the turmoil of the Dajjal.
O Allah, wash away my sins with snow and hail water, purify my heart from the sins as is purified the white garment from the dirt, and keep away at a distance the sins from me as the distance between the East and the West;
O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from laziness, from senility (feeble old age), from sin, and from debt."


Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say:
"O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from laziness, from cowardice, from senility (feeble old age), from miserliness, and I seek refuge in Thee from the torment of the grave and from trial of the life and death."


[Sahih Muslim]

"you are not calling One who is deaf or absent"

Abu Musa reported: We were along with Allah's Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey when the people began to pronounce Allahu-Akbar in a loud voice. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.S.) said:
"O people, show mercy to yourselves for you are not calling One Who is deaf or absent. Verily, you are calling One Who is All-Hearing (and) Near to you and is with you."

According to another report, he (the Holy Prophet) said: "He Whom you are supplicating is nearer to every one of you than the neck of his camel."


[Sahih Muslim]

Allah thinks of you, when you think of Him

Allah says:
I live in the thought of My servant when he thinks about Me, and I am with him, when he remembers Me And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in the assembly, better than he (does that), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.


[Sahih Muslim]
