One cannot attain the Pleasure of Allah by means of self-invented methods
Ibn `Abbas (Radiallahu Anhu) reported:
While Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘alahi wasallam) was delivering Khutbah, he noticed a man who was standing, so he asked about him and was told that he was Abu Israel who had taken a vow to remain standing and not sit, or go into the shade, or speak while observing fasting. Thereupon Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘alahi wasallam) said, “Tell him to speak, to go into the shade, to sit and to complete his fast”.

The Right Path is one and one alone
Abu Hurairah (Radiallahu Anhu) reported:
Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘alahi wasallam) said, “Do not ask me unnecessarily about the details of the things which I do not mention to you.

He (Sallallahu ‘alahi wasallam) said, “I admonish you to fear Allah, to listen and obey even if an Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader. Because whosoever among you shall live after me, will see much discord. So hold fast to my Sunnah and the examples of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs who will come after me. Adhere to them and hold to it fast. Beware Read more ...
Give your Child a Good & Meaningful Muslim Name

The created one could not be an object of worship
(The created one could not be an object of worship)
Allah the Almighty said:
"Do they attribute as partners to Allah those who created nothing but they themselves are created? No help can they give them, nor can they help themselves." (Surah Al A'raf 7:191,192)
Allah the Most Exalted said:
"And those, whom you invoke or call upon instead of Him, own not even a Qitmir (the thin membrane over the date-stone). If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad Read more ...

Imagine for a moment that it’s raining. It is pouring, in fact. And imagine that you are inside your house, watching as it falls. But imagine that there is something very different about this rain.
