A Concise Collection of Sharee'ah Advices and Guidance: Brotherhood, Behavior, and Success During Trials

Compiler’s Introduction

In the name of Allaah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful

Verily, all praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His assistance and we ask for His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Him from the evils of our souls and the evils of our actions. Whoever Allaah guides, no one can lead him astray and whoever is caused to go astray, there is no one that can guide him. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah alone with no partners. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His worshipper and Messenger.

﴾ Oh you who believe, fear Allaah as He ought to be feared and do not die except while you are Muslims. ﴿-(Surah Aal-‘Imraan:102)

﴾ Oh mankind, fear Allaah who created you from a single soul and from that, He created its mate. And from them He brought forth many men and women. And fear Allaah to whom you demand your mutual rights. Verily, Allaah is an ever All-Watcher over you.﴿-(Surah an-Nisaa:1)

﴾ Oh you who believe, fear Allaah and speak a word that is truthful (and to the point) - He will rectify your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allaah and His Messenger has achieved a great success.﴿-(Surah al- Ahzaab:70-71)

As for what follows: The best speech is the book of Allaah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad, may Allaah’s praise and His salutations be upon him. And the worst of affairs are newly invented matters in the religion, and every newly invented matter in an innovation, and every innovation is a going astray, and every going astray is in the Fire.
