رَّبِّ اَعُوۡذُ بِکَ مِنۡ ھَمَزٰتِ الشَّیٰطِیۡنِ ۙ واَعُوۡذُ بِکَ رَبِّ اَنۡ یَّحۡضُرُوۡن ؕ۔
بِسۡمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِۙ۔
Educations of Islam.
All Educations of Islam are focused on humanity. All the commands that God has revealed in the books and scriptures revealed by God are all for the establishment of humanity and for drawing people towards the one God. Some of these specific teachings are under consideration.
1. Sunnah of Allah (There is no god but Allah).
The first teaching of the Educations of Islam is the Sunnah of Allah, which means La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah). This has been the Sunnah of Allah Almighty for every prophet, from our father Adam (peace be upon him) to the last Prophet of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him). And this has been the message. All the prophets taught this message and invited to this message.
Indeed, Allah existed even when there was nothing. At that time, His Throne was on the water. He created this universe in six days. That is, whatever exists in this universe, whether it is present or absent for us, everything is the power of Allah. That is, we and all the creatures of this universe are merely manifestations of Allah's power. So, in the Quran, God says, “There is none but Allah.”
Therefore, for all jinn and humans, the first teaching of Islam is this: worship only that Gracious Lord who is also the Lord of all the worlds. Under no circumstances associate anyone else as a partner with Allah. Even if that be a prophet! One who associates anyone else as a partner with Allah is called a polytheist (mushrik) or disbeliever (kafir). Allah says that on the Day of Judgment, even the greatest sinner can receive forgiveness, but the disbeliever will not be forgiven.
شَرَعَ لَـكُمۡ مِّنَ الدِّيۡنِ مَا وَصّٰى بِهٖ نُوۡحًا وَّالَّذِىۡۤ اَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ وَمَا وَصَّيۡنَا بِهٖۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَمُوۡسٰى وَعِيۡسٰٓى اَنۡ اَقِيۡمُوا الدِّيۡنَ وَ لَا تَتَفَرَّقُوۡا فِيۡهِؕ ﴿۱۳﴾
Q-42:13You are commanded with the religion which We commanded Noah and which We revealed to you and which We commanded Abraham and Moses and Jesus: Establish the religion and do not become divided therein.
وَاِلٰهُكُمۡ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ ۚ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحۡمٰنُ الرَّحِيۡمُ ﴿۱۶۳﴾
Q-02:163And your God is One God, there is no god but He, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
اِنَّمَاۤ اِلٰهُكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِىۡ لَاۤ اِلٰـهَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ عِلۡمًا ﴿۹۸﴾
Q-20:98Your god is only Allah, there is no god but He, He encompasses all things in knowledge.
رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فَاعۡبُدۡهُ وَاصۡطَبِرۡ لِـعِبَادَتِهٖؕ هَلۡ تَعۡلَمُ لَهٗ سَمِيًّا ﴿۶۵﴾
Q-19:65Worship the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. And be patient in His worship. Is there anyone like Him in your knowledge?
وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَبِّىۡ وَرَبُّكُمۡ فَاعۡبُدُوۡهُ ؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسۡتَقِيۡمٌ ﴿۳۶﴾
Q-19:36And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is the straight path.
2. Follow the Sharia of the Quran.
For those who have faith in Islam, it is necessary that they obey Sunnatullah (faith in One Allah) and Shariatullah (Allah's commandments), that is, the Book Quran. And do not give preference to futile books over the Quran. The commandments of the Quran are obligatory upon all Muslims. The verses in which God has revealed commandments are Muhkam (clear/decisive) verses, meaning they are in plain language that can be easily understood. Therefore, it is necessary that: instead of listening to the hadith-based preaching of clerics, one should read the translation of the Quran in their mother tongue by themselves. May God grant all Muslims of the world the blessing of guidance by removing them from their misguidance. Amen.
اِنَّ الَّذِىۡ فَرَضَ عَلَيۡكَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَ لَرَآدُّكَ اِلٰى مَعَادٍ ؕ قُلْ رَّبِّىۡۤ اَعۡلَمُ مَنۡ جَآءَ بِالۡهُدٰى وَمَنۡ هُوَ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ﴿۸۵﴾
Q-28:85Indeed, Allah is the One who has made the Quran obligatory upon you. He will surely return you to your destination (Makkah or the Hereafter). Say: My Lord knows best who is guided and who is in clear error.
وَمَاۤ اُمِرُوۡۤا اِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِصِيۡنَ لَـهُ الدِّيۡنَ ۙ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤۡتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَذٰلِكَ دِيۡنُ الۡقَيِّمَةِ ؕ ﴿۵﴾
Q-98:05And they were commanded only to worship Allah, being sincere to Him, following His straight path (Shari'ah), and to establish prayer and give zakah. And that is the straight and lasting religion.
وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنۡ يَّشۡتَرِىۡ لَهۡوَ الۡحَدِيۡثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۖ وَّيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيۡنٌ ﴿۶﴾
Q-31:06And among the people are some who buy vain narrations, that they may mislead people from the path of Allah without knowledge (That is, knowledge that is not from the Quran) and take it (i.e., the Quran) as a jest. These are the ones for whom there will be a humiliating punishment.
God says! That God offered the Trust (the Quran and the Sharia) to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to take it up. And they were afraid of it. [I think this event must have happened before the creation of jinn and man. Perhaps God wanted to choose the earth, the heavens and the mountains for worship.
But after their denial, God created the jinn for worship. But because they were created from fiery element. So, God did not find stability in them. And after that, He created humans from clay specifically for worship. And because man is weak and hasty by nature, perhaps man hastily took up this trust. That is why God calls man unjust and ignorant.
اِنَّا عَرَضۡنَا الۡاَمَانَةَ عَلَى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَالۡجِبَالِ فَاَبَيۡنَ اَنۡ يَّحۡمِلۡنَهَا وَاَشۡفَقۡنَ مِنۡهَا وَحَمَلَهَا الۡاِنۡسَانُؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ ظَلُوۡمًا جَهُوۡلًا ۙ ﴿۷۲﴾ لِّيُعَذِّبَ اللّٰهُ الۡمُنٰفِقِيۡنَ وَالۡمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَالۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ وَالۡمُشۡرِكٰتِ وَيَتُوۡبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرًا رَّحِيۡمًا ﴿۷۳﴾
Q-33:72-73Indeed, we offered the Trust (the Quran and the Sharia) to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to bear it. And they feared it. And man bore it, and he was wrongdoer and ignorant. (72) That Allah may punish the hypocrite man and the hypocrite woman and the polytheist man and the polytheist woman, and Allah may forgive the believing man and the believing woman. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (73)
3. The commandment to treat people well.
God commands! Establish a relationship of love and peace in society. Live in harmony with each other. Honor and respect your elders. Treat your younger ones with kindness. The first right of kindness is for parents. The second right is for relatives. The third right is for orphans and homeless people. The fourth right is for close neighbors and then for distant neighbors.
وَّبِالۡوَالِدَيۡنِ اِحۡسَانًا وَّبِذِى الۡقُرۡبٰى وَالۡيَتٰمٰى وَالۡمَسٰكِيۡنِ وَالۡجَـارِ ذِى الۡقُرۡبٰى وَالۡجَـارِ الۡجُـنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالۡجَـنۡۢبِ وَابۡنِ السَّبِيۡلِ ۙ وَمَا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُكُمۡ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَنۡ كَانَ مُخۡتَالًا فَخُوۡرَا ۙ ﴿۳۶﴾
Q-04:36And be good to parents, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the distant neighbor, the companion, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like the arrogant and boastful.
ٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا يَسۡخَرۡ قَوۡمٌ مِّنۡ قَوۡمٍ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّكُوۡنُوۡا خَيۡرًا مِّنۡهُمۡ وَلَا نِسَآءٌ مِّنۡ نِّسَآءٍ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّكُنَّ خَيۡرًا مِّنۡهُنَّۚ وَلَا تَلۡمِزُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَكُمۡ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوۡا بِالۡاَلۡقَابِؕ بِئۡسَ الِاسۡمُ الۡفُسُوۡقُ بَعۡدَ الۡاِيۡمَانِ ۚ وَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَتُبۡ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ ﴿۱۱﴾
Q-49:11O you who believe! Let not a people mock another people, perhaps they are better than them, nor let women mock women, perhaps they are better than them. And do not slander one another, nor call one another by bad names. Evil is the calling of bad names after faith, and whoever does not repent, it is they who are the wrongdoers.
وَالتِّيۡنِ وَالزَّيۡتُوۡنِۙ ﴿۱﴾ وَطُوۡرِ سِيۡنِيۡنَۙ ﴿۲﴾ وَهٰذَا الۡبَلَدِ الۡاَمِيۡنِۙ ﴿۳﴾ لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ فِىۡۤ اَحۡسَنِ تَقۡوِيۡمٍ ﴿۴﴾
Q-95:01-04By the fig and the olive (1) and Mount Sinai (2) and this secure city (3) We have certainly created man in the best of forms. (4)
وَاِذَا حُيِّيۡتُمۡ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوۡا بِاَحۡسَنَ مِنۡهَاۤ اَوۡ رُدُّوۡهَا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ حَسِيۡبًا ﴿۸۶﴾
Q-04:86And when someone speaks to you, speak to him in a better way, or answer him in the same words. Surely, Allah is All-Able to take account of everything.
4. The Last Day and Eternal Life.
And believe in the Day of Judgment, when the second trumpet will be blown, and at that sound the earth will throw out all the dead. And the souls will be reunited with their bodies. Then people will disperse and divide into three groups. And then every person will know the good and evil he did on earth. In that court, the people who believe in one God and uphold the law will have the upper hand. There will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. The disbelievers and the wrongdoers will be humiliated and humiliated.
الَّذِيۡنَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيۡمُوۡنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنٰهُمۡ يُنۡفِقُوۡنَۙ ﴿۳﴾
Q-02:03Those who believe in the unseen and establish prayer and spend out of what We have provided for them. (Those are the successful ones).
اِذَا زُلۡزِلَتِ الۡاَرۡضُ زِلۡزَالَهَا ۙ ﴿۱﴾ وَاَخۡرَجَتِ الۡاَرۡضُ اَثۡقَالَهَا ۙ ﴿۲﴾ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ يَّصۡدُرُ النَّاسُ اَشۡتَاتًا ۙ لِّيُرَوۡا اَعۡمَالَهُمۡؕ ﴿۶﴾ فَمَنۡ يَّعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيۡرًا يَّرَهٗ ؕ ﴿۷﴾ وَمَنۡ يَّعۡمَلۡ مِثۡقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَّرَهٗ ﴿۸﴾
Q-99:01-02, 06-08When the earth will be shaken with an earthquake. (1) And the earth will cast out what was within it. (2) And they will be shown their deeds. (6) So, whoever has done an atom's weight of good will see it. (7) And whoever has done an atom's weight of evil will see it. (8)
لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاۤ اَبَدًا ؕ ﴿۱۱۹﴾
Q-05:19For the truthful are Haevens beneath which rivers flow, and they will abide therein forever.
5. Belief in all the prophets and their books.
Believe in all the prophets and the scriptures revealed to them (the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms and the Scriptures). And do not differentiate between your prophet and other prophets. For all the prophets are series of their respective eras. Indeed, Allah has perfected the Quran. But the earlier books and scriptures also teach the lesson of the Quran. Provided that the mixed part of these books is cut off.
The instrument for separating this mixed part is the Quran, for which Allah Almighty says: The Quran confirms the books that came before it and explains them in detail. For the second method, Allah Almighty says: There is no great contradiction in the command of Allah. Therefore, wherever there is a contradiction with the truth, it is certainly a mixed part.
قُوۡلُوۡٓا اٰمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَمَآ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡنَا وَمَآ اُنۡزِلَ اِلٰٓى اِبۡرٰهٖمَ وَاِسۡمٰعِيۡلَ وَاِسۡحٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَ وَالۡاَسۡبَاطِ وَمَآ اُوۡتِىَ مُوۡسٰى وَعِيۡسٰى وَمَآ اُوۡتِىَ النَّبِيُّوۡنَ مِنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡۚ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَنَحۡنُ لَهٗ مُسۡلِمُوۡنَ ﴿۱۳۶﴾
Q-02:136, 03:84(Muslims) Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and it was revealed to their descendants, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the other Messengers from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Him we are Muslims (submitting to Allah). (136)
وَالۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ كُلٌّ اٰمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَلٰٓٮِٕكَتِهٖ وَكُتُبِهٖ وَرُسُلِهٖ﯀ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ اَحَدٍ مِّنۡ رُّسُلِهٖ﯀ وَقَالُوۡا سَمِعۡنَا وَاَطَعۡنَا غُفۡرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَاِلَيۡكَ الۡمَصِيۡرُ ﴿۲۸۵﴾
Q-02:285And every believer who believes in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers, and says: We make no distinction between any of the messengers of Allah and our messenger. And they say: We heard (your command) and obeyed. Our Lord, we seek Your forgiveness. And to You is our return too.
وَمَا كَانَ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنُ اَنۡ يُّفۡتَـرٰى مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ وَلٰـكِنۡ تَصۡدِيۡقَ الَّذِىۡ بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَتَفۡصِيۡلَ الۡكِتٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيۡهِ مِنۡ رَّبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ﴿۳۷﴾
Q-10:37This Quran was not created by anyone but Allah. Rather, it is a confirmation of the books that came before it and a detailed explanation of them. There is no doubt that it is from the Lord of the worlds.
اَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُوۡنَ الۡقُرۡاٰنَؕ وَلَوۡ كَانَ مِنۡ عِنۡدِ غَيۡرِ اللّٰهِ لَوَجَدُوۡا فِيۡهِ اخۡتِلَافًا كَثِيۡرًا ﴿۸۲﴾
Q-04:82Do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found therein many contradictions.
وَالَّذِيۡنَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِمَۤا اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكَ وَمَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَۚ وَبِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوۡقِنُوۡنَؕ ﴿۴﴾ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ عَلٰى هُدًى مِّنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ﴿۵﴾
Q-02:04-05And those who believe in what has been revealed to you and what was revealed before you, and who are certain of the Hereafter. (4) These are on guidance from their Lord, and it is they who will prosper. (5)
6. Establish the Furqan (scales).
Do not weigh short or nor measure short. Set up the scales with justice. Underweight and undermeasurement are great injustices in the sight of God. God was destroyed the people of Midian (Nation of Shu'ayb) because of underweight and undermeasurement. So that this can become a lesson.
By weighing less, sustenance does not increase. Rather, blessing is lost. Sustenance is in the hands of God. He enlarges the sustenance of whomever He wills. And restricts it for whomever He wills. So do not be a sinner.
اِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبۡسُطُ الرِّزۡقَ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِيۡرًۢا بَصِيۡرًا ﴿۳۰﴾
Q-17:30Indeed, your Lord expands the provision for whom He wills and restricts it for whom He wills. He is Aware of His servants, Seeing (them).
فَاَوۡفُوا الۡكَيۡلَ وَالۡمِيۡزَانَ وَلَا تَبۡخَسُوا النَّاسَ اَشۡيَآءَهُمۡ وَلَا تُفۡسِدُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ بَعۡدَ اِصۡلَاحِهَا ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ لَّـكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ۚ ﴿۸۵﴾
Q-07:85So, give full measure and weight, and do not diminish the wealth of people, and do not spread corruption in the land as long as there is peace in it. And that is better for you if you are believers.
وَاَوۡفُوا الۡـكَيۡلَ اِذَا كِلۡتُمۡ وَزِنُوۡا بِالۡقِسۡطَاسِ الۡمُسۡتَقِيۡمِؕ ذٰ لِكَ خَيۡرٌ وَّاَحۡسَنُ تَاۡوِيۡلًا ﴿۳۵﴾
Q-17:35And when you measure, give full measure, and weigh with a just balance. That is better for you and better in the end.
7. There is no disorder on earth.
And do not spread corruption on the earth. Do not transgress against anyone. If someone says something bad, respond with something good. Make peace between people. Allah does not like those who spread corruption on the earth.
وَلَا تُفۡسِدُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ بَعۡدَ اِصۡلَاحِهَا وَادۡعُوۡهُ خَوۡفًا وَّطَمَعًا ؕ اِنَّ رَحۡمَتَ اللّٰهِ قَرِيۡبٌ مِّنَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ﴿۵۶﴾
Q-07:56And do not spread disorder in the land after it has been established in security. Call upon Allah with fear and hope. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good.
وَاِذَا قِيۡلَ لَهُمۡ لَا تُفۡسِدُوۡا فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِۙ قَالُوۡاۤ اِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ مُصۡلِحُوۡنَ ﴿۱۱﴾ اَلَا ۤ اِنَّهُمۡ هُمُ الۡمُفۡسِدُوۡنَ وَلٰـكِنۡ لَّا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ ﴿۱۲﴾
Q-02:11-12And when it is said to them, "Do not make mischief in the land," they say, "We are peacemakers." (11) But it is they who make mischief, but they do not know. (12)
وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِىۡ يَقُوۡلُوا الَّتِىۡ هِىَ اَحۡسَنُؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ يَنۡزَغُ بَيۡنَهُمۡؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ كَانَ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ عَدُوًّا مُّبِيۡنًا ﴿۵۳﴾
Q-17:53And say to My servants: "Speak that which is best, for Devil causes division among them. Indeed, Satan is to man an open enemy."
اِدۡفَعۡ بِالَّتِىۡ هِىَ اَحۡسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ ؕ نَحۡنُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُوۡنَ ﴿۹۶﴾
Q-23:96Repel evil with that which is better. We know best what they describe.
وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوا النَّفۡسَ الَّتِىۡ حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالۡحَـقِّ ؕ وَمَنۡ قُتِلَ مَظۡلُوۡمًا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِـوَلِيِّهٖ سُلۡطٰنًا فَلَا يُسۡرِفْ فِّى الۡقَتۡلِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مَنۡصُوۡرًا ﴿۳۳﴾
Q-17:33And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly, we have given his heir the right, but let him not transgress in taking the soul. Indeed, he is protected [by law].
8. Pay Zakat (Alms).
And that you should spend a part of your hard-earned livelihood, which is very dear, on the poor, orphans, relatives and liberating for people. God loves your spending. God returns double you’re spending in this world. While He will reward you fourfold, sevenfold, a hundredfold and seven hundredfold in the Hereafter according to your intention.
وَاٰتَى الۡمَالَ عَلٰى حُبِّهٖ ذَوِى الۡقُرۡبٰى وَالۡيَتٰمٰى وَالۡمَسٰكِيۡنَ وَابۡنَ السَّبِيۡلِۙ وَالسَّآٮِٕلِيۡنَ وَفِى الرِّقَابِۚ وَاَقَامَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَى الزَّکٰوةَ ۚ وَالۡمُوۡفُوۡنَ بِعَهۡدِهِمۡ اِذَا عٰهَدُوۡاۚ وَالصّٰبِرِيۡنَ فِى الۡبَاۡسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَحِيۡنَ الۡبَاۡسِؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ صَدَقُوۡاؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُتَّقُوۡنَ ﴿۱۷۷﴾
Q-02:177And he who gives his wealth, despite love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, the needy, and to free for slaves. And he establishes prayer and gives zakat. And when he makes a covenant, he is true to his covenant. And he is patient in hardship, distress, and war. These people are the truthful ones - and these are the righteous.
وَمَاۤ اُمِرُوۡۤا اِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِصِيۡنَ لَـهُ الدِّيۡنَ ۙ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤۡتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَذٰلِكَ دِيۡنُ الۡقَيِّمَةِ ؕ ﴿۵﴾
Q-98:05And they were not commanded except that they should worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion, turning to the truth, and establishing prayer and giving zakah. And that is the lasting religion.
وَرَحۡمَتِىۡ وَسِعَتۡ كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ ؕ فَسَاَكۡتُبُهَا لِلَّذِيۡنَ يَتَّقُوۡنَ وَيُؤۡتُوۡنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَالَّذِيۡنَ هُمۡ بِاٰيٰتِنَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ۚ ﴿۱۵۶﴾
Q-07:156And My mercy encompasses all things. I will bestow it upon those who do good deeds, give Zakaht (alms), and believe in Our signs.
مَنۡ ذَا الَّذِىۡ يُقۡرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضٰعِفَهٗ لَهٗ وَلَهٗۤ اَجۡرٌ كَرِيۡمٌ ۚ ﴿۱۱﴾
Q-57:11Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan, so that He may multiply it for him many times over? And for him is a great reward.
مَثَلُ الَّذِيۡنَ يُنۡفِقُوۡنَ اَمۡوَالَهُمۡ فِىۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ اَنۡۢبَتَتۡ سَبۡعَ سَنَابِلَ فِىۡ كُلِّ سُنۡۢبُلَةٍ مِّائَةُ حَبَّةٍؕ وَاللّٰهُ يُضٰعِفُ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ ﴿۲۶۱﴾
Q-02:261The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain of corn which grows seven ears, in each ear is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies (His reward) for whom He wills. And Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.
9. Give thanks to God.
Give thanks to Allah. The best way to give thanks to Allah is through prostration, i.e. prayer. Prayer is obligatory upon every Muslim. It is an act in which a servant bows down before his Lord in submission.
قَدۡ اَفۡلَحَ مَنۡ تَزَكّٰىۙ (۱۴) وَذَكَرَ اسۡمَ رَبِّهٖ فَصَلّٰى ؕ (۱۵)
Q-87:14-15Indeed, he has succeeded who purifies himself (14) and remembers the name of his Lord and establishes prayer (15).
اِنَّنِىۡۤ اَنَا اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَاعۡبُدۡنِىۡۙ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِذِكۡرِىۡ ﴿۱۴﴾
Q-20:14Indeed, I am Allah. There is no god but Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.
مَا يُرِيۡدُ اللّٰهُ لِيَجۡعَلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ حَرَجٍ وَّلٰـكِنۡ يُّرِيۡدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمۡ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتَهٗ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُوۡنَ ﴿۶﴾
Q-05:06God does not intend for you any hardship (through prayer), but He desires to purify you and to complete His favor upon you, that you may be grateful. (6)
وَمَاۤ اُمِرُوۡۤا اِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِصِيۡنَ لَـهُ الدِّيۡنَ ۙ حُنَفَآءَ وَيُقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَيُؤۡتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَذٰلِكَ دِيۡنُ الۡقَيِّمَةِ ؕ ﴿۵﴾
Q-98:05And they were not commanded except that they should worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion, turning to the truth, and establishing prayer and giving zakah. And that is the lasting religion.
10. The time of death is certain.
Life and death are in the hands of Allah. And the life of an old man is not extended, nor is the life of a child who dies in infancy shortened. Rather, death comes at a specific time appointed by Allah Almighty, which is recorded in the Holy Book, the Loh E Mehfooz.
If someone dies due to an unjustified murder or an accident, that too happens at its own time. But God has sent man on earth for testing and worship, not to be killed or to kill. Therefore, the murderer will be caught in a serious sin. God says! If a person kills one person, it is as if he has killed all of humanity. That is, he did not kill one person, but killed countless people. And if he was patient and saved someone's life, then he saved countless lives. The reward for which will also be countless.
وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفۡسٍ اَنۡ تَمُوۡتَ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ كِتٰبًا مُّؤَجَّلًا ؕ ﴿۱۴۵﴾
Q-03:145And no soul can die except by the leave of Allah, a decree decreed.
وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ مِّنۡ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنۡ نُّطۡفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَـكُمۡ اَزۡوَاجًا ؕ وَمَا تَحۡمِلُ مِنۡ اُنۡثٰى وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلۡمِهٖ﯀ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنۡ مُّعَمَّرٍ وَّلَا يُنۡقَصُ مِنۡ عُمُرِهٖۤ اِلَّا فِىۡ كِتٰبٍؕ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيۡرٌ ﴿۱۱﴾
Q-35:11And Allah created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then He made you into pairs. And no female conceives or gives birth except with His knowledge. And no soul is granted long life or shortened except with a record. Indeed, that is easy for Allah.
كَتَبۡنَا عَلٰى بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ اَنَّهٗ مَنۡ قَتَلَ نَفۡسًۢا بِغَيۡرِ نَفۡسٍ اَوۡ فَسَادٍ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ فَكَاَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيۡعًا ؕ وَمَنۡ اَحۡيَاهَا فَكَاَنَّمَاۤ اَحۡيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيۡعًا ؕ ﴿۳۲﴾
Q-05:32We decreed for the Children of Israel that whoever killed a soul, except for retaliation or for corruption in the land, it would be as if he had killed all mankind. And whoever saved a soul, it would be as if he had saved all mankind.
11. Fulfill the covenant/oaths.
Fulfilling oaths and promises made in the name of God is the mark of a believer. It is also a fact that a believer does not swear or make promises unless absolutely necessary. Whereas a liar and a deceitful person take oaths and promises all day long, calling God as a witness. God commands believers to fulfill their oaths. God tests the truthful people by their truthfulness.
وَ اَوۡفُوۡا بِعَهۡدِ اللّٰهِ اِذَا عَاهَدتُّمۡ وَلَا تَنۡقُضُوا الۡاَيۡمَانَ بَعۡدَ تَوۡكِيۡدِهَا وَقَدۡ جَعَلۡتُمُ اللّٰهَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَفِيۡلًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ﴿۹۱﴾ وَلَا تَكُوۡنُوۡا كَالَّتِىۡ نَقَضَتۡ غَزۡلَهَا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ قُوَّةٍ اَنۡكَاثًا ؕ تَتَّخِذُوۡنَ اَيۡمَانَكُمۡ دَخَلًاۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ اَنۡ تَكُوۡنَ اُمَّةٌ هِىَ اَرۡبٰى مِنۡ اُمَّةٍ ؕ اِنَّمَا يَبۡلُوۡكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِهٖ ؕ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَـكُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ مَا كُنۡـتُمۡ فِيۡهِ تَخۡتَلِفُوۡنَ ﴿۹۲﴾
Q-16:91-92 Q-And fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have taken it, and break not your oaths after they have been confirmed, while you have made Allah your surety. Indeed, Allah is aware of what you do. (91) And be not like him who untied his thread after it had become strong, and took a way out for himself. Is your faith a means of division among yourselves, that one people may be superior to another? Allah only tests you thereby, and He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that in which you used to differ. (92)
لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاللَّغۡوِ فِىۡۤ اَيۡمَانِكُمۡ وَلٰـكِنۡ يُّؤَاخِذُكُمۡ بِمَا عَقَّدْتُّمُ الۡاَيۡمَانَ ۚ فَكَفَّارَتُهٗۤ اِطۡعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسٰكِيۡنَ مِنۡ اَوۡسَطِ مَا تُطۡعِمُوۡنَ اَهۡلِيۡكُمۡ اَوۡ كِسۡوَتُهُمۡ اَوۡ تَحۡرِيۡرُ رَقَبَةٍ ؕ فَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ ثَلٰثَةِ اَيَّامٍ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ كَفَّارَةُ اَيۡمَانِكُمۡ اِذَا حَلَفۡتُمۡ ؕ وَاحۡفَظُوۡۤا اَيۡمَانَكُمۡ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَـكُمۡ اٰيٰتِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُوۡنَ ﴿۸۹﴾
Q-05:89God will not call you to account for your unintentional oaths, but He will call you to account for what you have taken intentionally. The expiation for such an oath is to feed ten poor people on the average of what you feed your family, or clothe them, or free a slave. But whoever cannot afford that, then he should fast three days. This is an expiation for your oaths when you have sworn. And be mindful of your oaths. Thus does God make clear to you His verses that you may be grateful.
وَلَا تَقۡرَبُوۡا مَالَ الۡيَتِيۡمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتِىۡ هِىَ اَحۡسَنُ حَتّٰى يَبۡلُغَ اَشُدَّهٗ ؗ وَاَوۡفُوۡا بِالۡعَهۡدِۚ اِنَّ الۡعَهۡدَ كَانَ مَسۡـــُٔوۡلًا ﴿۳۴﴾
Q-17:34And do not approach the property of an orphan except in a way that is better, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill the covenant. Indeed, the covenant is to be repaid.
وَالۡمُوۡفُوۡنَ بِعَهۡدِهِمۡ اِذَا عٰهَدُوۡا ۚ وَالصّٰبِرِيۡنَ فِى الۡبَاۡسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَحِيۡنَ الۡبَاۡسِؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ صَدَقُوۡا ؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُتَّقُوۡنَ ﴿۱۷۷﴾
Q-02:177And when he makes a covenant, he is true to his covenant. And he is patient in hardship, distress, and war. These people are the truthful ones - and these are the righteous.
12. Bear true witness.
God commands justice and truth. God says: Be a witness for justice, even if it is against yourself or your parents or a close relative. Do not leave justice in any case. God says: Do not show favoritism when giving justice and testimony. Do not conceal anything, but declare what you know. Whoever conceals it is a sinner.
Some people give vague testimony. They want to please both groups or deviate from justice for the sake of their own desires. God says: He is watching every action. So be watchers of justice. Establishing justice is closer to piety.
وَلَا تَكۡتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ ؕو َمَنۡ يَّكۡتُمۡهَا فَاِنَّهٗۤ اٰثِمٌ قَلۡبُهٗؕ وَللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ عَلِيۡمٌ ﴿۲۸۳﴾
Q-02:283And do not conceal testimony. For whoever conceals it, his heart is sinful. And Allah is Aware of what you do.
ـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا كُوۡنُوۡا قَوَّامِيۡنَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلّٰهِ وَلَوۡ عَلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ اَوِ الۡوَالِدَيۡنِ وَالۡاَقۡرَبِيۡنَ ؕ اِنۡ يَّكُنۡ غَنِيًّا اَوۡ فَقِيۡرًا فَاللّٰهُ اَوۡلٰى بِهِمَاۚ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الۡهَوٰٓى اَنۡ تَعۡدِلُوۡا ۚ وَاِنۡ تَلۡوٗۤا اَوۡ تُعۡرِضُوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرًا ﴿۱۳۵﴾
Q-04:135O you who have believed, be steadfast in justice, witnesses for Allah, whether it be against yourselves or against parents and relatives. Whether a person is rich or poor, Allah has more right to both. So do not follow your desires, lest you deviate from justice. If you give false testimony or turn away, then surely Allah is aware of what you do.
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا كُوۡنُوۡا قَوَّا امِيۡنَ لِلّٰهِ شُهَدَآءَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ ؗ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّكُمۡ شَنَاٰنُ قَوۡمٍ عَلٰٓى اَ لَّا تَعۡدِلُوۡا ؕ اِعۡدِلُوۡا هُوَ اَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوٰىؗ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيۡرٌۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ﴿۸﴾
Q-05:08O you who have believed, be steadfast in the cause of Allah, witnesses to justice, and let not the hatred of a people turn you away from justice. Be just; that is nearer to piety. And fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Aware of what you do.
13. Arrogance! The path of disbelief.
Arrogance is a quality that shows a person the path to disbelief. Such a person does not thank God for His blessings. Rather, he thinks that whatever he has is due to his hard work and intelligence. He walks on the earth arrogantly. He does not consider the value of poor people to be more than the insects crawling on the earth. These people who consider themselves successful are losers in the eyes of God.
The same lesson is learned from the example of Devil that arrogance made him a reject. God loves believers who are humble and obedient. God says! The life of the earth is just blood and saliva. The real and eternal life is in the Hereafter.
وَالۡعَصۡرِۙ ﴿۱﴾ اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ لَفِىۡ خُسۡرٍۙ ﴿۲﴾ اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوۡا بِالۡحَقِّ ۙ وَتَوَاصَوۡا بِالصَّبۡرِ ﴿۳﴾
Q-103:01-03By the oath of the age (1) Indeed, man is in loss, (2) except those who believe and do righteous deeds and advise one another to the truth and advise one another to patience. (3)
وَلَا تُصَعِّرۡ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَحًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخۡتَالٍ فَخُوۡرٍۚ ﴿۱۸﴾ وَاقۡصِدۡ فِىۡ مَشۡيِكَ وَاغۡضُضۡ مِنۡ صَوۡتِكَؕ اِنَّ اَنۡكَرَ الۡاَصۡوَاتِ لَصَوۡتُ الۡحَمِيۡرِ ﴿۱۹﴾
Q-31:18-19And do not turn your cheek in arrogance towards people, nor walk on the earth in haughtiness. Indeed, Allah does not like the boastful. (18) And moderate your pace and lower your voice. Indeed, the most hateful sound is the braying of donkeys. (19)
وَاِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلٰٓٮِٕكَةِ اسۡجُدُوۡا لِاٰدَمَ فَسَجَدُوۡٓا اِلَّاۤ اِبۡلِيۡسَؕ اَبٰى وَاسۡتَكۡبَرَؗ وَكَانَ مِنَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ ﴿۳۴﴾
Q-02:34And when We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves before Adam," they prostrated themselves except Iblis. He refused and was arrogant, and he was of the disbelievers.
وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَحًا ۚ اِنَّكَ لَنۡ تَخۡرِقَ الۡاَرۡضَ وَلَنۡ تَبۡلُغَ الۡجِبَالَ طُوۡلًا ﴿۳۷﴾ كُلُّ ذٰ لِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهٗ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَ مَكۡرُوۡهًا ﴿۳۸﴾
Q-17:37-38And when We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves before Adam," they prostrated themselves, except Iblis. He refused and was arrogant, and he was of the disbelievers.
قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ مٰلِكَ الۡمُلۡكِ تُؤۡتِى الۡمُلۡكَ مَنۡ تَشَآءُ وَتَنۡزِعُ الۡمُلۡكَ مِمَّنۡ تَشَآءُ ؕ وَتُعِزُّ مَنۡ تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنۡ تَشَآءُ ؕ بِيَدِكَ الۡخَيۡرُؕ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ ﴿۲۶﴾
Q-03:26Say, "O Allah, you are the King of the kings. You give the kingdom to whom You will and take the kingdom away from whom You will. You exalt whom You will and abase whom You will." In Your hand is all good. Indeed, you have power over all things.
وَمَا هٰذِهِ الۡحَيٰوةُ الدُّنۡيَاۤ اِلَّا لَهۡوٌ وَّلَعِبٌؕ وَاِنَّ الدَّارَ الۡاٰخِرَةَ لَهِىَ الۡحَـيَوَانُۘ لَوۡ كَانُوۡا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۶۴﴾
Q-29:64And this worldly life is but play and amusement. Indeed, the home of the Hereafter is the real life. If only they knew!
14. Repay evil with good.
God says! If someone says something bad to you, do not answer him with something bad. Instead, say something that is very good. And God sees everything.
اِدۡفَعۡ بِالَّتِىۡ هِىَ اَحۡسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ ؕ نَحۡنُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُوۡنَ ﴿۹۶﴾
Q-23:96And respond to an evil word with a better word. And We know well what they say.
15. Salam (Greetings).
"As-Salamu Alaikum" (Peace be upon you). This is not just two words, but a gift of prayers. A gift that increases the good deeds of both the giver and the receiver. It is also a blessed and pure gift from God. Therefore, God commands, when you enter your homes, greet the people in your home.
فَاِذَا دَخَلۡتُمۡ بُيُوۡتًا فَسَلِّمُوۡا عَلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ تَحِيَّةً مِّنۡ عِنۡدِ اللّٰهِ مُبٰرَكَةً طَيِّبَةً ﴿۶۱﴾
Q-24:61When you enter houses, greet your people. This is a blessed and pure gift from Allah.
When angels in human form came to Abraham (A.S) to bring him good news, they were strangers to him. Then Abraham (A.S) greeted them as if they were travelers. And he also prepared food. This command of God proves that Greetings can be extended to relatives, believers, and even strangers, because Abraham (A.S) did not know that his guests were angels until he placed the food in front of the angels.
{This argument is presented because many scholars believe that a disbeliever cannot be *greeted*. The second point is that God has forbidden praying for a disbeliever *after* their death, not while they are alive}.
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَاۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ بِالۡبُشۡرٰى قَالُوۡا سَلٰمًا ؕ قَالَ سَلٰمٌ ﴿۶۹﴾
Q-11:69And indeed, our angels came to Abraham (A.S) with glad tidings. They said: "Peace!" Abraham replied: "Salam!"
God tells the Prophet, "When the believers come to you, greet them with "Assalamu Alaikum." And then God says, "Your Lord has made mercy obligatory upon Himself." This proves that when a believer greets another believer, God's mercy is bound to be upon him.
وَاِذَا جَآءَكَ الَّذِيۡنَ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَقُلۡ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمۡ عَلٰى نَفۡسِهِ الرَّحۡمَةَ ۙ ﴿۵۴﴾
Q-06:54And when those who believe in Our verses come to you, say: "As-Salamu Alaikum" (Peace be upon you). Your Lord has ordained mercy upon Himself.
God says! If someone greets you with a greeting (Salam), you should respond with a better greeting/Salam. Or at least respond in similar words.
Example.
When someone says to you:-"As-salamu alaikum" (May the peace of God be upon you).
Then you should reply:-“Walekum As-salam warahmatulllah wabarakatuh.” (And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings). This response is more comprehensive and blessed than "As-salamu alaikum"
Or at least return his words:- For example, say, “Walekum As-salam” (And peace be upon you).
وَاِذَا حُيِّيۡتُمۡ بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوۡا بِاَحۡسَنَ مِنۡهَاۤ اَوۡ رُدُّوۡهَا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ حَسِيۡبًا ﴿۸۶﴾
Q-04:86And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet it with a greeting better than it, or at least return it with the like thereof. Indeed, Allah is ever taking account of all things.
On the Day of Judgment, angels will greet the people on the way to Paradise and at the entrance gate with the greeting "As-Salamu Alaikum." And the echo of the greeting from the Merciful Lord will be heard inside Paradise. So, consider how blessed and merciful God has made these two words of greeting.
وَسِيۡقَ الَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا رَبَّهُمۡ اِلَى الۡجَـنَّةِ زُمَرًاؕ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَآءُوۡهَا وَفُتِحَتۡ اَبۡوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمۡ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ طِبۡتُمۡ فَادۡخُلُوۡهَا خٰلِدِيۡنَ ﴿۷۳﴾
Q-39:73And those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups. When they reach it and its gates are opened, its keepers will say to them: "As-salamu alaikum" (May the peace of God be upon you). You are pure, so enter it (Paradise), to abide therein forever.
سَلٰمٌ ࣞ قَوۡلًا مِّنۡ رَّبٍّ رَّحِيۡمٍ ﴿۵۸﴾
Q-36:58“SALAM” (السلام علیکم!)! from the Most Gracious Lord.(It will be heard in the heavens.)
