The Creed

Indeed, Allah does not look at your appearance and wealth, but He looks at your hearts and deeds.” Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to pay Zakah, to fast Ramadan, and to perform Hajj to the House if you are able to find a way thereto Whoever introduces into this matter of ours (Islam) something that does not belong to it shall have it rejected O My slaves, I have made oppression forbidden for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another O boy, I shall teach you some words: Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him before you. If you ask, ask Allah; if you seek help, seek help from Allah Everyone of my Ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse Whoever imitates a people is one of them I asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): "Which sin is the gravest in the sight of Allah?" He said: "To set an equal to Allah while He created you It is unlawful for a Muslim to desert his fellow Muslim for more than three nights. As they meet, both of them turn their backs on each other. But the best of them is the one who starts by greeting the other Whoever causes harm will be harmed by Allah, and whoever causes hardship will be put in hardship by Allah You will see your Lord as you see this moon, you will not have any difficulty in seeing Him Verily, Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He seizes him, He does not release him Shall I not send you with the same instructions as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sent me with? Do not leave any statue without blotting it out or any raised grave without leveling it He is not one of us who seeks bad omens or has it done for him, or who practices soothsaying or has it done for him, or who practices sorcery or has it done for him Whoever goes to a soothsayer and asks him about something and believes him, his prayer will not be accepted for forty nights Whoever acquires a branch of the knowledge of astrology acquires a branch of magic, of which he acquires more as long as he continues to do so The gravest major sins are: associating partners with Allah in worship, feeling secure from Allah's plan, despairing of Allah's mercy, and losing hope in relief coming from Allah Faith has over seventy branches - or over sixty branches - the most excellent of which is the declaration that 'lā ilāha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah)', and the lowest of which is the removal of what is harmful from the way There should not remain any necklace of string or any other kind of necklace around the necks of camels without being cut Whoever is attached to something will be entrusted to that thing
