Hadith 1: Deeds are by intentions ‫إﻧﻤﺎ اﻷﻋﻤﺎل ﺑﺎﻟﻨﻴﺎت‬

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace


and blessings be upon him, said:

Verily, deeds are only with intentions. Verily, every


person will have only what they intended. Whoever

Hadith 2: Islam, faith, and excellence ‫اﻹﺳﻼم واﻹﻳﻤﺎن‬


‫واﻹﺣﺴﺎن‬

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: We were sitting with the


Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, one
day when a man appeared with very white clothes and very
black hair. There were no signs of travel on him and we did
not recognize him. He sat down in front of the Prophet and
rested his knees by his knees and placed his hands on his
thighs. The man said, “O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.”
The Prophet said:

ِ‫ﺳﻮلُ ﷲﱠِ َﺻ ﱠﲆ ﷲﱠُ ﻋَ ﻠَ ْﻴﻪ‬ َ َ ْ َ‫ِﺳ َﻼ ُم أ َ ْن ﺗ‬


ُ ‫ﺸﻬَ َﺪ أ ْن َﻻ ِإﻟ َ َﻪ ِإ ﱠﻻ ﷲﱠُ َوأنﱠ ُﻣﺤَ ﱠﻤﺪًا َر‬ ْ ‫اﻹ‬ ْ

َ
ً ‫ﺳ ِﺒ‬
‫ﻴﻼ‬ َ ِ‫ﺖ ِإﻟ َ ْﻴﻪ‬
َ ‫َﻄ ْﻌ‬ َ ‫اﺳﺘ‬ْ

Islam is to testify there is no God but Allah and


Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish
prayer, to give charity, to fast the month of Ramadan,
and to perform pilgrimage to the House if a way is
possible.

The man said, “You have spoken truthfully.” We were


surprised that he asked him and then said he was truthful.
He said, “Tell me about faith.” The Prophet said:

ْ ِ ‫اﻵﺧِ ﺮ ِ َوﺗُ ْﺆﻣِ ﻦَ ﺑ‬


َ ِ‫ﺎﻟ َﻘﺪَر‬
‫ﺧ ْﻴﺮ ِ ِه‬ ْ ِ‫اﻟ َﻴ ْﻮم‬

ُ ‫ﻜﺘِﻪِ َو ُﻛ ُﺘ ِﺒﻪِ َو ُر‬
‫ﺷﺮﱢ ِه‬َ ‫َو‬

Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His


messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in
providence, its good and its evil.

excellence.” The Prophet said:

‫اك‬ َ ‫أ َ ْن ﺗَ ْﻌ ُﺒ َﺪ ﷲﱠَ َﻛﺄَﻧ ﱠ‬
ْ ُ‫ﻚ ﺗَﺮَا ُه َﻓ ِﺈ ْن ﻟ َ ْﻢ ﺗَﻜ‬

Excellence is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for if


you do not see Him, He surely sees you.

The man said, “Tell me about the final hour.” The Prophet
said:

‫ِﻞ‬
ِ ‫اﻟﺴﺎﺋ‬
‫ﻦ ﱠ‬ ْ ِ‫ﺴ ُﺌﻮلُ ﻋَ ْﻨﻬَ ﺎ ﺑِﺄَﻋْ ﻠَ َﻢ ﻣ‬ ْ ‫َﻣﺎ‬
ْ ‫اﻟ َﻤ‬

The one asked does not know more than the one
asking.

The man said, “Tell me about its signs.” The Prophet said:

 ‫َﻄﺎ َوﻟُﻮنَ ﻓِﻲ‬ ‫اﻟ َﻌﺎﻟ َ َﺔ رِﻋَ ﺎ َء ﱠ‬


َ ‫اﻟﺸﺎ ِء ﻳَﺘ‬ ْ ‫اة‬ ْ ‫ﺎة‬

َ ‫اﻟﺤُ َﻔ‬ ْ ‫أ َ ْن ﺗَ ِﻠ َﺪ‬
ْ
ِ ‫اﻟ ُﺒ ْﻨ َﻴ‬
‫ﺎن‬

The slave girl will give birth to her master and you
will see barefoot, naked, and dependent shepherds
compete in the construction tall buildings.

Then, the man left and I remained. The Prophet said to me:

ُ‫اﻟﺴﺎﺋ ِﻞ‬
‫ﻦ ﱠ‬ ْ ‫ﻳَﺎ ُﻋ َﻤﺮُ أَﺗَ ْﺪرِي َﻣ‬

O Umar, do you know who he was?

I said, “Allah and his messenger know best.” The Prophet


said:

‫َﻓ ِﺈﻧ ﱠ ُﻪ ِﺟ ْﺒﺮِﻳﻞُ أَﺗَﺎ ُﻛ ْﻢ ﻳُ َﻌﻠ ﱢ ُﻤﻜُ ْﻢ ِدﻳ َﻨﻜُ ْﻢ‬

Verily, he was Gabriel who came to teach you your


religion.

Hadith 3: Pillars of Islam ‫أرﻛﺎن اﻹﺳﻼم‬

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and


blessings be upon him, said:

‫ﺲ ﻋَ َﲆ أ َ ْن ﻳُ ْﻌ َﺒ َﺪ ﷲﱠُ َوﻳُ ْﻜ َﻔﺮَ ﺑ ِ َﻤﺎ دُوﻧ َ ُﻪ َو ِإ َﻗﺎمِ ﱠ‬

Islam is built upon five: to worship Allah and to


disbelieve in what is worshiped besides him, to
establish prayer, to give charity, to perform Hajj
pilgrimage to the house, and to fast the month of
Ramadan.

Verily, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear,


and between the two of them are doubtful matters
about which many people do not know. Thus, he who
avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to
his religion and his honor, and he who falls into
doubtful matters will fall into the unlawful as the
shepherd who pastures near a sanctuary, all but
grazing therein. Verily, every king has a sanctum and
the sanctum of Allah is His prohibitions. Verily, in the
body is a piece of flesh which, if sound, the entire
body is sound, and if corrupt, the entire body is
corrupt. Truly, it is the heart.

Make between yourself and the unlawful a barrier of


what is lawful. Whoever does so will clear himself in
regard to his honor and his religion. A shepherd who
grazes near the side of a sanctum will nearly fall into
it. Verily, every king has a sanctum and the sanctum
of Allah is His prohibitions.

say there is no God but Allah. If they say there is no

Purity is half of faith, and the praise of Allah fills the


scale. Glorification and praise fill up what is between
the heavens and the earth. Prayer is a light, charity is
proof, and patience is illumination. The Quran is a
proof for you or against you. All people go out early
in the morning and sell themselves, either setting
themselves free or ruining themselves.

Has not Allah made for you ways to give charity? In


every glorification of Allah there is charity, and in
every declaration of His greatness there is charity,
and in praise of Him is charity, and in every
declaration of His oneness there is charity, and
enjoining good is charity and forbidding evil is
charity, and in a man’s intimate relations with his
wife is charity.

They said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for one


who satisfies his passions?” The Prophet said:

‫ِﻚ ِإ َذا َو َﺿ َﻌﻬَ ﺎ ﻓِﻲ‬ َ ‫ﺣﺮَامٍ أ َ َﻛﺎنَ ﻋَ ﻠَ ْﻴﻪِ ﻓِﻴﻬَ ﺎ ِو ْزرٌ َﻓ‬

You see that if he were to satisfy his passions with the


unlawful, it would be a burden of sin upon him?
Likewise, if he were to satisfy himself with the lawful,
he will have a reward.

knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to
Paradise, for a people do not gather together in the
houses of Allah, reciting the book of Allah and
studying it together, but that tranquility will descend
upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will

hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of
