Speck-ofdust - Servant Of Allah

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِيْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَاَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُوْنَ ۚۖ

O believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn away from him while you hear ˹his call˺.

—Surah Anfal [8:20]

The 6 Fears Of A True Believer

Uthman رضي الله عنه said,

The first : is that Allah the Exalted will take away his iman (faith);

the second : is that the angels will write down things that will expose him on the Day of judgement,

the third :  is that Satan will render his actions void,

the fourth : is that the Angel of Death will take his soul when he is in a state of heedlessness.

the fifth : is that the dunya will delude him and make him work for other than the Hereafter.

And the sixth : is that his family and children will preoccupy him such that he neglects the remembrance of Allah the Exalted.”

- [Ibn Hajr Al-Asqalani in, ‘Preparing For The Day Of Judgement’, Chapter 5: “Counsel In Sixes”, Qt.(5)]

Abu Qatadah reported:

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about fasting the day of Arafat and he said, “It will expiate the sins of the previous and upcoming years.” Then, the Prophet was asked about fasting the day of Ashura and he said, “It will expiate the sins of the past year.”

—Sahih Muslim 1162

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:

"There is no day when God sets free more servants from Hell than the Day of 'Arafa. He draws near, then praises them to the angels, saying: What do these want?"

—Sahih Muslim 1348

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

كُنْ وَرِعًا تَكُنْ أَعْبَدَ النَّاسِ وَكُنْ قَنِعًا تَكُنْ أَشْكَرَ النَّاسِ وَأَحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ تَكُنْ مُؤْمِنًا وَأَحْسِنْ جِوَارَ مَنْ جَاوَرَكَ تَكُنْ مُسْلِمًا وَأَقِلَّ الضَّحِكَ فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الضَّحِكِ تُمِيتُ الْقَلْبَ

"Be devout and you will be the most pious of people. Be content and you will be the most grateful of people. Love for people what you love for yourself and you will be a believer. Behave well with your neighbors and you will be a Muslim. Laugh less, for too much laughter will deaden the heart."

— Sunan Ibn Mājah 4217,

“The religion itself is entirely good character, so whoever surpasses you in character has surpassed you in religion."

—Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمتہ اللہ علیہ
