in an individual and community or none of the two would be present. Modesty has been
particularly stressed
upon as part of faith because it reflects a state of mental piety. Therefore, Prophet (P.B.U.H)
said, “Modesty
produces nothing but good”
Prophet (P.B.U.H) emphasized upon individual Muslims to perform obligatory acts of
worship i.e salat and
fasting, and to live their lives following Islamic values in order to attain God’s pleasure and
enter paradise.
“A man asked the messenger of Allah: do you think that if I perform the obligatory prayers,
fast in Ramdan,
treat as lawful that which is lawful and treat as forbidden that which is forbidden and do not
nothing
further. I shall enter paradise” The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said “yes”
Prophet’s ahadith also contain teachings about taking our responsibility ourselves. He also
taught us about
generosity and hospitality. His teachings encourage us to spend our wealth on the poor and
the needy and
to exert ourselves in the way of Allah. He also emphasizes upon hard work and earning by
lawful means. He
is reported to have said, “No one eats better food than that which he eats out of the work of
his own hand.”
It means that we should become self-sufficient and should not depend upon others
unnecessarily.
The Prophet pbuh also forbade his followers from being materialistic or self-centered.
Instead he told them
to remember and to strive for the eternal rewards of hereafter. He said, “The world is a
believer’s prison
and a non-believer’s paradise.”
It teaches us that a true believer always takes this worldly life as a time of trial and therefore
does not
indulge in this world too much.
