And He (Exalted be He) says: And perform AsSalât (IqâmatasSalât), and give Zakât and obey the Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) that you may receive mercy (from Allâh).
Allah (Exalted be He) also says: And those who hoard up gold and silver [AlKanz: the money, the Zakât of which has not been paid] and spend them not in the Way of Allâh, announce unto them a painful torment.
It is related that the Prophet preached: He who withholds his Zakah money will be tormented with it on the Day of Judgment.
So, fear Allah, O Servants of Allah, and give your Zakah money willingly out of hope for the reward of Allah (Exalted be He), fear of His Punishment and gratitude for His Favors, and as a mercy to your poor Muslim brothers and sisters.
and whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allâh's Cause), He will replace it. And He is the Best of providers.
And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks (by accepting Faith and worshipping none but Allâh), I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily My punishment is indeed severe."
Perform a lot of nafl (supererogatory) Prayers and give much Sadaqah (voluntary charity), as the nafl worship makes up for any shortcomings in the performance of the obligatory worship, and it causes the reward to be multiplied. Prayer and Sadaqah are among the best means of protection from punishment, expiation of sins, and multiplication of rewards.
Another outstanding form of taqwa is to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong. Indeed, the religion will not be firmly established in the land nor will this life or the life to come become good except by enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, advising one another to do so, and bearing patiently the difficulties encountered.
You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) and his Sunnah] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin AlMa'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid AlMunkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh.
The believers, men and women, are Auliyâ' (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they enjoin (on the people) AlMa'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and forbid (people) from AlMunkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islâm has forbidden); they perform As Salât (IqâmatasSalât), and give the Zakât, and obey Allâh and His Messenger. Allâh will have His Mercy on them. Surely Allâh is All Mighty, AllWise.
that a person will not be a true believers, promised mercy and Paradise, unless he or she enjoys the said attributes, most significant among which is enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong. Should people be idle and silent about the truth, they would deservedly incur the displeasure, curse, and punishment of Allah.
Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dâwûd (David) and ' Isâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allâh and the Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds.
They used not to forbid one another from AlMunkar (wrong, evildoing, sins, polytheism, disbelief) which they committed. Vile indeed was what they used to do.
It is reported in Sunan Abu Dawud on the authority of Ibn Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, The first shortcoming committed by the children of Israel was that a man would meet another man and say to him: O you, fear Allah and desist from what you are doing. On the following day, he would find the same person in the same state and would, nonetheless, eat, drink, and sit with him. Consequently, Allah set their hearts against each other
You see many of them taking the disbelievers as their Auliyâ' (protectors and helpers). Evil indeed is that which their ownselves have sent forward before them; for that (reason) Allâh's Wrath fell upon them, and in torment they will abide. the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
Then, he said: Nay! By Allah, you must enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, punish the oppressor and compel him to do what is right; otherwise, Allah would set your hearts against each other and curse you as He cursed them.
And it is reported in an authentic Hadith that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, If a people see wrongdoing and do not change it, Allah will soon encompass them all with His Punishment.
And he (peace be upon him) also said, "Whoever, among you, sees something abominable should rectify it with his hand (by taking action); and if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue (by speaking out); and if he is unable to do so, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith."
Fear Allah, O Servants of Allah, and rectify the conduct of the fools among you and command what is good and forbid what is evil
so that all of you may be safe from Allah's Wrath and Indignation. Most importantly, everyone should settle an account with themselves and force themselves to have taqwa and fear of Allah. A man is responsible for making his dependents his wife, family, and servants observe the commands and prohibitions laid by Allah.
And enjoin AsSalât (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the Salât (prayers)].
O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, All of you are guardians and are responsible for your charges.
Examples of sinful acts that servants should denounce and beware of are adultery, sodomy, theft, oppression, backbiting, talebearing, namecalling, arrogance, and Isbal (letting the garment fall below the ankles). These acts also include shaving the beard or removing any part of it, letting the moustache grow long, undutifulness to parents, practicing usury, appropriating the wealth of the orphans, drinking alcohol, seeking diversion through means of entertainment such as, the cinema and musical instruments, listening to singers and concerts through the radio and other devices, cheating, perjury, false oath, frequent taking of oaths in transactions, and breaking off relations, separation and feud for the sake of mundane vanities, and other things which are forbidden by Allah (Exalted be He) and His Messenger (peace be upon him).
We should avoid these wrongdoings, be on our guard against them and warn other people about them. We should also repent of our past sins so that we may hopefully gain the abundant rewards promised by Allah (Exalted be He) and be safe from His Wrath and Punishment. I implore Allah the Almighty to guide you and
