6 Qualities to be achieved by every Muslim

These 6 qualities need to be practised upon and not just learnt.

1. Conviction in Kalimah.

To have the conviction of belief that the Sahabah رضى الله عنھ had in the kalimah LaIllahaIllallah Muhammedur Rasullah (There is none worthy of worship except for Allah, Muhammed is the messenger of Allah) (صلىالله علیھ وسلم) .

The deeper meaning to this is that Allah does each and everything without the help of the creation, but the creation can not do nothing without the help of Allah; success of both the worlds lies in following the commands of Allah shown by the prophet of Allah (صلىالله علیھ وسلم).

To bring this reality into our lives:

a) We would call (giving dawah) towards the ‘Power, Might and Majesty of Allah’. The help Allah gave to the Prophets, The help Allah gave to the Sahabah رضى الله عنھ and the signs of emaan.

b) The practice would be to listening to the talks of the greatness of Allah, ponder over Allah’s abilities in the creation, ponder over the greatness of Allah

c) Make dua to Allah to for the reality of emaan, full conviction and ehsaan.

2. Salaah

The way Rasullah (صلىالله علیھ وسلم) taught Sahabah رضى الله عنھ to pray their Salaah and achieve its reality; in the same manner we want to pray our Salaah. How our outside 24 hour life can be like the state of Salaah. How everyone of our problems can be resolved through Salaah.

To bring this reality into our lives we would:

a) Call towards the reality of Salaah that the Sahabah رضى الله عنھ had reached, and how they lived their lives according to the manner in how they performed Salaah, and resolved all their problems through Salaah.

b) Pray nafl Salaah as a practice towards perfecting our Salaah by having 5 qualities:

- The full conviction in the kalimah
- Concentration and devotion to Allah
- Knowledge of the rules of Salaah
- knowledge of the virtues of Salaah
- Sincerity (in doing Salaah) for the sake of Allah

c) Make dua to Allah to provide us with the reality of the Salaah

3. Ilm (knowledge) and Dhikr (remembrance)

The way Sahabah رضى الله عنھ had that zeal enthusiasm to ask Rasullah (صلىالله علیھ وسلم) and those regarded as Ulama or Fuqahah in regards to the commands of Allah and the Sunnah of every action, and then practised upon it; we should also ask Ulama or Fuqahah about the correct requirement from Allah and what is the Sunnah practice for every action.

c) Make Dua to Allah that he gives us beneficial knowledge.

Dhikr (remembrance)

The Sahabah رضى الله عنھ were constantly in a state either as if they were seeing Allah or that Allah was watching them.

To bring this reality into our lives we must:

a) Call people towards the state of remembrance of the Sahabah رضى الله عنھ

b) Recite the ‘three tasbhihaat’ 100x in the morning and evening. Third Kalimah - draw the closeness to Allah. Durood - attain the love of Rasullah (صلىالله علیھ وسلم). Istigfar - gain forgiveness from Allah.
