How to be a good Muslim by using computer terms? Let see how easy it was to become Muslim and how beautiful Islam is....
Ctrl = Control ourselves from creating something new in the religion pertaining to 'ibadah' (worship)
Imam
Malik said,
“A
person who introduces a religious innovation in Islam and thinks that it is
good, is as if he is claiming that Muhammad s.a.w betrayed his
message. This is because Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {This day I have perfected for you your religion.}[Quran
5:3] Therefore, any act that was not originally part of the religion will
not be as such today.”
Imam
As-Syafie said,
“Approving
[of an innovated act] is like legislating [an innovated act].”
‘Umar ibn Khattab was reported
to have said,
“Every
religious innovation is misguidance even if people see it as good.”
Ibn
Mas‘ood said,
“Follow
the way of the Prophet s.a.w, and do not innovate, for
what is revealed is enough for you. Always adhere to the old practices.”
Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said,
"He who
innovates something that is not in agreement with our matter (religion),
will have it rejected."
[Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]
Del = Delete all those superstitious mindset that do not have any proof from neither the Quran or Sunnah of Prophet Muhammd s.a.w. What our forefather do might be right might be wrong but following the way of the Prophet s.a.w and his righteous predecessor way is guarantee to be right by Allah and Prophet s.a.w;
"The best people are those living in my generation, and then those who
will follow them, and then those who will follow the latter"
(Sahih Bukhari)
"And the first forerunners
[in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those
who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with
them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for
them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide
forever. That is the great attainment."
And when it is said to them,
"Follow what Allah has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that
which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood
nothing, nor were they guided?
Backspace = Backspace once in a while to reflect on what we have done because we will be question on how we spent our time and youth and accountable for all our actions
“The son of Adam will not pass away from Allah until he is asked
about five things: how he lived his life, and how he utilized his youth,
with what means did he earn his wealth, how did he spend his wealth,
and what did he do with his knowledge.”
(Good hadith reported by Imam At-Tirmidhi)
Pause Break = Pause once you felt that what you are doing are not right and Break away from that action and seek forgiveness from Allah as He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Say, "O My servants who
have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair
of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.
Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
End = End the debate even we believe we are on the right side and we have the truth because end of the day all Muslim are brother to each other and we do not force upon our message but instead we are just the messenger
"A people did not get misguided after Allah had guided them, but they were aimlessly argumentative.”
(At-Tirmidhi - Sahih)
“I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for the one who stopped being aimlessly argumentative even if he is right.”
(Abu Dawud - Sahih)
The believers are but
brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear
Allah that you may receive mercy.
Enter = Enter Islam completely by following the teaching. We listen and we obey anything that Allah commanded in the Quran & what Prophet Muhammad s.a.w command us as long as it is authentic (Sahih)
"O you who have believed, enter
into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of
Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."
Home = This world is not our real 'Home' but we should instead hope to go back 'Home' - Jannah (Paradise). Belief alone is not enough but we must do righteous deeds, call to the truth and be patient. End of the day is the Mercy of Allah that take us 'Home'
By time,
Indeed, mankind is in loss,
Except for those who have
believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to
truth and advised each other to patience.
"No one of you will enter Paradise by his deeds alone." They asked,
"Not even you, O Messenger of Allâh?" He said, "Not even me, unless
Allâh covers me with His Grace and Mercy"
