To greet is a part of Islam
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
A person asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . "What (sort of) deeds in or (what
qualities of) Islam are good?" He replied, "To feed (the poor) and
greet those whom you know and those whom you don't know."
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَىُّ الإِسْلاَمِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ وَتَقْرَأُ السَّلاَمَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ
To be ungrateful to one's husband. And disbelief is of (different grades) lesser (or greater) degrees.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of
its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they
disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied,
"They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the
favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have
always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then she sees
something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never
received any good from you."

Sins are from ignorance and a sinner is not a disbeliever unless he worships others along with Allah 'Azza wa Jall
Narrated Al-Ma'rur:
At Ar-Rabadha I met Abu Dhar who was wearing a cloak, and his slave,
too, was wearing a similar one. I asked about the reason for it. He
replied, "I abused a person by calling his mother with bad names." The
Prophet said to me, 'O Abu Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his
mother with bad names You still have some characteristics of
ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under
your command. So whoever has a brother under his command should feed
him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them
(slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so,
then help them.' "

"And if two parties (or groups) from among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both…" Allah has called them "believers"
Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais:
While I was going to help this man ('Ali Ibn Abi Talib), Abu Bakra met
me and asked, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I am going to help
that person." He said, "Go back for I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
saying, 'When two Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords,
both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.' I
said, 'O Allah's Messenger! It is all right for the murderer but what
about the murdered one?' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "He surely had the
intention to kill his companion."

confuse not their belief with wrong (worshipping others besides
Allah.)" (6:83), the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Who is
amongst us who had not done injustice (wrong)?" Allah revealed: "No
doubt, joining others in worship with Allah is a great injustice
(wrong) indeed." (31.13)

2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.

insulting manner."

Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah
and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward,
or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is
killed in the battle as a martyr). Had I not found it difficult for my
followers, then I would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad
and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made
alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred
in His cause."

Religion is very easy
Narrated Abu Huraira:

by worshipping in the mornings, the afternoons, and during the last hours of the nights." (See Fath-ul-Bari, Page

The (offering of) Salat (prayers) is a part of faith
Narrated Al-Bara' (bin 'Azib):
When the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina, he stayed first with his grandfathers
or maternal uncles from Ansar. He offered his prayers facing
Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but he
wished that he could pray facing the Ka'ba (at Mecca). The first
prayer which he offered facing the Ka'ba was the 'Asr prayer in the
company of some people. Then one of those who had offered that prayer
with him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who were
bowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem). He said addressing
them, "By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
facing Mecca (Ka'ba).' Hearing that, those people changed their
direction towards the Ka'ba immediately. Jews and the people of the
scriptures used to be pleased to see the Prophet (ﷺ) facing Jerusalem in
prayers but when he changed his direction towards the Ka'ba, during
the prayers, they disapproved of it.
Al-Bara' added, "Before we changed our direction towards the Ka'ba
(Mecca) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and we
did not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allah
then revealed: And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be
lost (i.e. the prayers of those Muslims were valid).' " (2:143).

(What is said regarding the superiority of) a person who embraces Islam sincerely.

within your capacity (without being overtaxed) as Allah does not get
tired (of giving rewards) but (surely) you will get tired and the best
deed (act of Worship) in the sight of Allah is that which is done
regularly."

Faith increases and decreases
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Once a Jew said to me, "O the chief of believers! There is a verse in
your Holy Book Which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had it been
revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was revealed
as a day of celebration." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, "Which is that
verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have perfected your religion For
you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as
your religion." (5:3) 'Umar replied,"No doubt, we know when and where
this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet (ﷺ)
was standing at 'Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)"
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ سَمِعَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ عَوْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ أَخْبَرَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهَا لَوْ عَلَيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ نَزَلَتْ لاَتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا قَالَ أَىُّ آيَةٍ قَالَ [ 5 3 3]الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلاَمَ دِينًا قَالَ عُمَرُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَالْمَكَانَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بِعَرَفَةَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ
To pay Zakat is a part of Islam
Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah:
A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and we heard
his loud voice but could not understand what he was saying, till he
came near and then we came to know that he was asking about Islam.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You have to offer prayers perfectly five times
in a day and night (24 hours)." The man asked, "Is there any more
(praying)?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "No, but if you want to offer the
Nawafil prayers (you can)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) further said to him: "You
have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." The man asked,
"Is there any more fasting?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "No, but if you
want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)" Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
further said to him, "You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)."
The man asked, "Is there any thing other than the Zakat for me to
pay?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "No, unless you want to give alms of
your own." And then that man retreated saying, "By Allah! I will
neither do less nor more than this." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If what he
said is true, then he will be successful (i.e. he will be granted
Paradise)."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي سُهَيْلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ ثَائِرُ الرَّأْسِ يُسْمَعُ دَوِيُّ صَوْتِهِ وَلاَ يُفْقَهُ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى دَنَا فَإِذَا هُوَ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَاللَّيْلَةِ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلَىَّ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَىَّ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ قَالَ وَذَكَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الزَّكَاةَ قَالَ هَلْ عَلَىَّ غَيْرُهَا قَالَ لاَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَطَوَّعَ قَالَ فَأَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا وَلاَ أَنْقُصُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَفْلَحَ إِنْ صَدَقَ
To accompany the funeral processions (up to the place of burial) is a part of faith
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "(A believer) who accompanies the funeral
procession of a Muslim out of sincere faith and hoping to attain
Allah's reward and remains with it till the funeral prayer is offered
and the burial ceremonies are over, he will return with a reward of
two Qirats. Each Qirat is like the size of the (Mount) Uhud. He who
offers the funeral prayer only and returns before the burial, will
return with the reward of one Qirat only."
