Introduction
All praises are due to Allah, we praise Him we seek His assistance and we seek His forgiveness. re We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and from our evil deeds. Whomever Allah guides there is none who can misguide him, and whomever Allah misguides there is none who to can guide him. I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone without any H partners, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah's slave and Messenger. Allah says:
يَتَأَها الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ، وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ( )
"O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except in a state of Islam (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allah." (Ali Imran 3:102) Allah says:
يَتَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاً كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا (3) )
"O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam) and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve) and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual rights, and do not cut off the relations of the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you. (an Nisaa' 4:1) Allah also says:
يَتَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلاً سَدِيدًا (ج) يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَلَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَن يُطِعِ
اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا )
"O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and always speak the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed achieved a great achievement (saved from the Hell fire and enter Paradise) (Ahzaab 33:70-71)
As to what proceeds: Verily the best of speech is the Book of Allah and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. The worst of affairs are the newly-invented affairs in the religion and every newly invented affair in the religion is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the Hellfire.
