Mutual Obligations of the Believers

REFRAINING FROM KILLING: "If anyone killed a person without just cause, it would be as though he has killed all of mankind; and whoever saved a life, it is as though he has saved all of mankind.?(Surah Ma?ida - 32)

RESPECTING ELDERS AND TEACHERS: It is part of glorifying Allah that you show respect to a gray-haired Muslim and also to one who teaches the Qur'an. [Hadith]

PERFORMING CHARITY: Your smiling in your brother's face is charity; and your exhorting man to virtuous deeds is charity; and your prohibiting the forbidden is charity; and your showing men the road, in the land in which they lose it, is charity; and your assisting the blind is charity. [Hadith]

MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS OF BELIEVERS: The believer is [like] a mirror to another believer; he/she removes their sufferings and also protects them in their absence. [Hadith]

MUTUAL OBLIGATIONS OF BELIEVERS: None of you has iman unless they love for their [Muslim] brother/sister what they love for themselves. [Hadith]

HELPING WIDOWS AND THE POOR: The one who looks after the needs of the widow and the poor is like a warrior fighting in the cause of Allah or like a person who fasts during the day and prays throughout the night. [HADITH]

VISITING THE SICK: When a Muslim visits his Muslim brother/sister who is sick, they certainly gather the fruits of Paradise until they return. [Hadith]

HONORING THE GUEST: The one who believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor their guest according to their [the guest's] rights. [Hadith]

SHAKING HANDS AND EXCHANGING GIFTS: If you shake hands with each other, dislike will disappear, and if you give each other gifts, malice will disappear. [Hadith]

SITTING TOGETHER: Whenever there are three people together, no two should talk leaving the third alone, since this may grieve him/her. [Hadith]

MEETING WITH A SMILE: Every good deed of a Muslim is charity; and meeting your brother/sister  with a smiling face is one of the good deeds. [Hadith]

CONCEALING FAULTS: The one who conceals the faults of a Muslim will have their faults concealed by Allah on the Day of Judgement.

SEVERING RELATIONS: It is not permitted for two Muslims who have had a dispute to keep away from each other for more than three days. The better of the two is the one who is first to greet the other. [Hadith]

FRIENDSHIP: A person inevitably follows the faith of his friends; therefore, be careful in choosing your friends. [Hadith]

RIGHTS OF NEIGHBORS: Jibreel continued exhorting me about the rights of neighbors so much so that I thought he might include them in the category of heirs. [Hadith]

REGARD TOWARD OLD AND YOUNG: The one who is not kind to our young ones, does not show respect to our elders, does not invite others to virtue and does not stop others from evil is not one of us. [Hadith]

RESTRAINING ANGER:  He is not strong and powerful who throws people down; but he is strong who witholds himself from anger. [Hadith]

LOVING ONE ANOTHER: Ye will not enter Paradise until ye have faith, and ye will not complete your faith until ye love one another. [Hadith]

FORGIVING: That man is nearest to God, who forgives when he had in his power over him who would have injured him. [Hadith]

BEING GENTLE: God is gentle and loves gentleness. [Hadith]

SEEKING KNOWLEDGE: That person who shall pursue the path of knowledge, God will direct him to the path of Paradise; and verily the superiority of a learned man over an ignorant worshipper is like that of the full moon over all the stars. [Hadith]

Cool Quotes from se7en's page

This life is not real. I conquered the world and it did not bring me satisfaction. [Muhammad Ali]

Being a man is the continuing battle for one?s life. One loses a bit of manhood with every stale compromise to the authority of any power in which one does not believe. [Imam Jamil al-Amin, may he be granted justice]

Do not sell your conscience for anything but heaven. [attributed to Ali ra]
O son of Adam, you're just days. Every time a day goes, a portion of you goes. [Hassan al Basri]

How good is life in this world for a believer because he uses it to prepare his provisions for Paradise. And how evil it is for a disbeliever who uses it to prepare his provisions for Hell. [al Hassan]

What you love to have with you in the Hereafter you should advance today, and what you hate to have with you, you should abandon today. [Salman ibn Dinar]

He who seeks knowledge of deen, Paradise seeks him. And he who seeks deeds of vice, Hell seeks him. [Ali ra]

Life is nothing other than a road that leads to a garden, or to the fire. Its nights are a man's workshop, and its days are his market place. [from Purification of the Soul, part of a poem p137]

He who has no manners has no knowledge; he who has no patience has no deen; and he who has no piety has no nearness to Allah. [Hasan al Basri]

Woe unto you. What deceived you about me? Did you not know that I am a house of worms, a house of seperation, and a house of darkness? This is what I have prepared for you. What have you prepared for me? [what the grave says as soon as one is placed in it, according to Mujahid]

These hearts are vessels. Fill them up with Qur'an and occupy them with nothing else. [Ibn Mas'oud]

What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it is with me wherever I go. To imprison me is to provide me with seclusion. To send me into exile is to send me away in the Path of Allah. And to kill me is to make me a martyr. Ibn Taymeeyah

If those who do not possess knowledge avoid the scholarly discussions, disagreement will end. [al Ghazali]

The wise is not the one who differentiates good from bad. It is the one who differentiates the best out of two good choices and the worst out of two bad choices. ['Amr ibn al 'Aas]

Either you're a servant to what made man, or a servant to what man made [Soldiers of Allah]

He who enters the grave without the provision (of good deeds) is as he who started swimming across the ocean without a vessel. [Abu Bakr ra]

Worldly Honor is derived from riches, and the honor of the Hereafter is derived from the performance of good deeds. [Umar ra]

Remembrance of Allah is to the heart what water is to fish. What happens to a fish when it is taken out of water? [Ibn Taymeeyah]

Had there not been these five qualities, all the people would be righteous: contentment with ignorance; love for worldly life; miserliness in spite of much wealth; ostentation in good deeds; and pride in one's own intelligence. [Ali ra]

I know that societies often have killed people who have helped to change those societies. And if I can die having brought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help destroy the racist cancer that is malignant in the body of America, then, all credit is due to Allah. Only the mistakes have been mine. [El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, aka Malcolm X, the last words in his autobiography]

Why would I fear death when it will eventually seize me no doubt, and when what I truly fear is to become fuel for hell-fire. Hence, as long as I die a believer, it does not matter to me how it happens. [Khubaib, when he was told to choose between faith in Allah or death.]

Death is teacher enough, true faith is wealth enough, and worship is action enough. [Ammar]

Islam is not just a religion. Islam is everything. [Yusuf Islam]

Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of Allah. And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness. [Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyya]

Follow the coherence in your heart, beware of anything towards which it feels despondent, and disregard what it declines to concur with. [Ibn Mas'oud]

Rectify three things by three other things until you become faithful (of the mu'minoon): pride by modesty, greed by contentment in little, and envy by listening to advice.[Malik ibn Dinar]
