Hadith

إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى

Actions are judged by intentions, and every person will have what they intended. So whoever migrated for Allah and His Messenger, their migration is for Allah and His Messenger; and whoever migrated for worldly gain or to marry a woman, their migration is for what they migrated to.

لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ

None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.

مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ

Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his neighbour. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should be generous to his guest.

خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ

The best among you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it.

لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ، إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ

The strong person is not the one who overcomes people by his strength, but the one who controls himself while in anger.

تَصَدَّقُوا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ زَمَانٌ

Protect yourself from the Fire even with half a date in charity; and if you cannot find that, then with a kind word.

مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship in this world, Allah will relieve him of a hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Allah helps His servant as long as the servant helps his brother.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ

Allah does not look at your appearance or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.

الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ

Purity is half of faith. Alhamdulillah fills the scales, and SubhanAllah and Alhamdulillah fill what is between the heavens and the earth.

مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ

Charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives another except that Allah increases him in honour. And no one humbles himself for Allah except that Allah raises him.

مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ

The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are like one body: when one limb suffers, the whole body responds with wakefulness and fever.

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

The Prophet said to Mu'adh: Never leave saying after every prayer — O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You well.

أَنَا زَعِيمٌ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمِرَاءَ

I guarantee a house in the outskirts of Paradise for one who gives up arguing even if he is right; a house in the middle of Paradise for one who gives up lying even in jest; and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who makes his character good.

الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى

The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The upper hand is the one that gives, and the lower hand is the one that asks.

احْفَظِ اللَّهَ يَحْفَظْكَ

Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask of Allah; when you seek help, seek help from Allah.

اتَّقِ اللَّهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ وَأَتْبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا

Fear Allah wherever you are, follow a bad deed with a good one and it will wipe it out, and treat people with good character.

تَبَسُّمُكَ فِي وَجْهِ أَخِيكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ

Your smile in the face of your brother is charity for you.

مَنْ خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ

Whoever goes out seeking knowledge is on the path of Allah until he returns.

أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى

The best charity is that given out of sufficiency, and begin with those you are responsible for.

أَفْضَلُ الذِّكْرِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ

The best remembrance is 'La ilaha illallah', and the best supplication is 'Alhamdulillah'.

طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ

Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.

أَعْطُوا الأَجِيرَ أَجْرَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِفَّ عَرَقُهُ

Give the worker his wages before his sweat dries.

ازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا يُحِبَّكَ اللَّهُ

A man came and said: Messenger of Allah, show me a deed that if I do it Allah will love me and people will love me. He said: Be detached from this world and Allah will love you; be detached from what people have and people will love you.

بُنِيَ الإِسْلاَمُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ

Islam is built on five: the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, establishing the prayer, paying zakat, pilgrimage to the House, and fasting Ramadan.

الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ

Fasting is a shield. So when one of you is fasting, he should not behave badly or raise his voice; if someone insults him or fights him, let him say: I am fasting.

احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ تَعْجَزْ

The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though there is good in both. Strive for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not give up.

يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي

Allah said: My servants, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and forbidden it among you, so do not wrong one another.

لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ

If you relied upon Allah as He should be relied upon, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds: they go out hungry in the morning and return full.

أُمُّكَ ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ ثُمَّ أَبُوكَ

A man asked: Messenger of Allah, who is most deserving of my good company? He said: Your mother. The man asked: Then who? He said: Your mother. Then who? Your mother. Then who? Your father.

الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ

The merciful are shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One above the heavens will be merciful to you.
