Here are six beautiful gems for every Muslim to live by:

I have learnt the following, known as the six points, from going in jamaat (Spiritual journey). Jamaat taught me a great number of lessons in life. Insha-Allah I will elaborate further on this...

Here are six beautiful gems for every Muslim to live by:

1. IMAAN - Every Muslim should strive for perfect Imaan.
To have firm conviction that all success lies only in the hands of ALLAH alone. The treasures of every thing is in the hands of ALLAH alone. ALLAH is the creator and controller of all things and conditions. ALLAH does every thing without the help of the entire creation, while the entire creation can do nothing without the help of ALLAH. The Kalima is the most excellent of all form of zikr. A person who recites the kalima 100x daily, his face will be shining like the 14th moon on the day of Qiamat. Frequent recitation renews the Imaan. It is the best of all good deeds. Continuous recitation leaves no sin unwashed. Nothing prevents this kalima from reaching ALLAH. Listen frequently to talks about the qualities of ALLAH. Speak (give da'wat) many times (at least 25x) so with the awareness that ALLAH is the creator and controller of every thing. Think & ponder of the attributes of ALLAH. Only in following the sunnah of Nabi (SAW) is there success, any other lifestyle leads to failure in this life and in the hereafter. To revive a sunnah in the time of Fitnah & corruption, the reward is equal to that of 100 shuhadaa (martyrs)Give da'wat about the importance of sunnah Learn & practice daily sunnats

2. SALAAH - Salaah should be given preference over all matters. Our life outside salaah should be on the pattern of salaah. If our salaah is correct, then our whole lives will be corrected. The key to Jannah is through salaat. Salaat makes our daily rizq (sustenance) easy. Give da'wat about the importance of salaah. Invite towards salaah. Perform long rakaats of nafl salaah

3. ZIKR - We should remember the Almighty with every breath we take. Zikr polishes the heart; brings peace of mind & removes difficulties in this world & uplifts the punishment in the grave. Learn & read mas'noon dua's ...lstighfaar; Durood on Nabie (SAW) & Third kalima 100x daily (morning & evening).

4. IKRAAM - A Muslim should always be ready to assist a fellow Muslimat all costs. A person who helps a muslim in need , ALLAH grants 73 favours to such person. 1 favour is sufficient to fulfill all his needs in this world & 72 is to raise his status in the hereafter. Make salaam; respect elders & ulama; treat juniors with kindness;visit the sick; attend janaza's & nikah & give good advice.

5. IKHLAAS - Anything we do, we do for Allah alone. A person who gives a date only to please ALLAH, ALLAH will grant such a person a mountain of reward, but if a person gives for name & fame, ALLAH will take them to task. To make intention & check during & after deeds that it is solely for the pleasure of ALLAH. (Sincerity of intention).

6. DAWAH ILLAL-LAAH - Always show those around you the beauty of our deen. One morning or evening in the path of ALLAH is better than the whole world & whatever it contains. A little while in the path of ALLAH is more in reward than making Ibadat the whole night near the Hajeraswadon Laylatul Qadr. The smoke, let alone the fire of Jahannam is not allowed to touch that part of the body on which dust settles in the path of ALLAH.

To create in us the capacity to give our lives for the deen of ALLAH.
