In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful and, Peace and Blessings of Almighty Allah be upon the Chosen Prophet and His blessed household.

[From the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (salAllaho alaihe waahlayhe wasallam)]

1. I have left teo things among you, and you will not stray as long as you hold them fast; one is that the Book of God and, the other the Laws of His Messenger(salAllaho alaihe waahlayhi wasallam).

2.God has made a staright road, with two walls, one on each side of it, in which are open doors, with curtains drawn across. At the top of the road is an Admonisher, who says, "Go straight on the road and not crooked" and above this Admonisher is another who says to any one who would pass through these doorways, "Pass not through those doors, or verily you will fall." Now the road is Islam and the open doors are those things which God has forbidden and the curtains before the doors are the bounds set by God, The Admonisher is the Quran, and the upper Admonisher is God, in the heart of every Mu'min(Muslim).

3. Verily you are ordered the divine commandments, then forsake them not, you are forbidden the unlawful, then do not fall therein; there are fixed boundaries then pass not beyond them and there is silence on some things without their being forgotten then do not debate about them.

4. Happy is the Mu'min(Muslim) for if good befalls him, he praises and thanks God and if misfortune, praises God bears it patiently. Therefore a Mu'min is rewarded for every good he does even for his raising a morsel of food to the mouth of his wife.

5. Whoever has eaten pure food and practised my laws, and mankind hath lived in security from him, he will enter into the Abode of Bliss.

6. Muhammad (salAllaho alaihe waahlayhi wasallam) once said to Anas (Allah be pleased with him), "If you are able, keep your heart from morning till night and from night till the morning free from malice towards anyone", then he said, "This is one of my laws and he who loves my law, verily loves me."

7. I admonish you fear God and yeild abedience to my successors, although he may be a black slave, for this reason that those amongest you who may live after me will see great schisms. Therefore hold fast to my ways and those of my successors, who may lead you in the straight path, having found it themselves and ardently seize my laws and be firm thereto.

8. verily your deeds will be brought back to you as if you were the creator of your own punishment.

9. Do not associate any one thing with God, although they kill or burn you, not affront intentionally your parents, although they should order you to quit your wife, your children and your property. Do not drink wine for it is the root of all evil, abstain from vice and when a pestilence shall pervade mankind and you shall be amongst them, remain with them and cherish your children.

10. There are three roots of Iman(Faith); not to trouble him who shall say 'there is no deity but God', not to think him an unbeliever on account of one fault, and not to discard him for one crime.

((Provided a person believes in the cardial doctrines of Islam, no one can say he is not a Muslim. God will forgive his sins.

v.39: 'Whosoever repents sincerely after his wrong-doing and amends, God will relent towards him.'

xxxix.53: 'Despair not of the mercy of God, who forgives all sins, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'))
