He who studies the Quran is like the owner of tethered camels. If he attends to them he will keep hold of them, but if he lets them loose they will go away.

Main Teachings:

This hadith emphasizes the importance of keeping in touch with the Holy Quran. This book of guidance is the primary source of Islamic teachings and should never be neglected. In order to get true benefit, a Muslim is required to establish a strong relationship with the Quran by learning it, memorizing it and reciting it. If his relation is weakened, the effects of Quran gradually fade away. The Prophet (PBUH) has said, "The best amongst you is the one who has leaned the quran and teaches it".

How Muslims can put into Action:

A Muslim can give food, clothing, shelter and financial assistance to orphans. These are deeds of great virtue and will take him closer to Allah. If an orphan's father was in debt, the lender should exonerate it but if he is reluctant in letting off, another person should pay to him. Rich people should pay for their educational expenditures so that they become useful part of the society. They should pay for their medical expenditures when they become ill.

It is incumbent on the patron of an orphan to treat him with kindness and mildness and protect him from the cruelties of the society. The property of minor orphans should be protected and returned them back when they attain maturity. One can invest their wealth sincerely in legal business if he has the relevant skills, and can take part from the profits made. The patron is thus having better world and better Hereafter.

When it comes to orphan girls, a Muslim should make arrangements for their marriages with best matching persons. He should generously donate towards their dowries.

One who manages the affairs of the widow and the poor man is like the one who exerts himself in the way of Allah, or the one who stands for prayer in the night and fasts in the day.

Main Teachings:

This hadith encourages the believers to fulfill the needs of the poor and the oppressed class in the society. Helping the poor in distress is worship to Allah and it is as important as obligatory prayer and fasting. Managing affairs of the needy people is such a prestigious deed that it has been placed at par with the person who strives in the way of Allah or who stands up for prayer at night and fast during the day. The prophet (PBUH) said to his wife,”O Aisha! Love the poor and let them come to you for help. Allah will then surely take you near Him on the Day of Judgment.”

It was said: O Messenger of Allah, who is the most excellent of men? The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) said: ‘The believer who strives hard in the way of Allah with his person and his property.’

Main Teachings:

This hadith encourages people to fight in the way of Allah for the supremacy of His religion. Islam wants to bring maximum people under its umbrella of peace and goodwill. It orders its followers to liberate the helpless from the atrocities and oppressions of barbarians. A person who is always ready to sacrifice his person, property and even life for the achievement of these goals is said to be the best of believers.  The Prophet (PBUH) said, “A single endeavor of fighting in Allah's cause is better than the world and whatever is in it." (Bukhari) Striving hard has a broad meaning. It also applies to the welfare of the community and spreading of Islam.

How Muslims can put into Action:

There should be no worldly motives. Fighting for Allah's cause necessitates true and sincere faith. Jihad is not simply a brutal fight, its purpose is to restore peace and freedom for the worship of Allah under pre-defined limits - a Muslim should always obey his commander and follow discipline, nor molesting women, children and old men, nor cut down trees and crops, nor killing those who have taken refuge in their homes, nor withholding peace from enemies when they come to negotiation. The captives must be treated according to the instruction given by the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

A person may also perform Jihad with his wealth and this may take different forms. He can supply arms and ammunitions to the fighters performing Jihad or spend wealth for spreading Islam or for societal development. Regarding welfare of the society, a Muslim should develop schools, hospitals and should help the needy people. He should generously donate towards the victims of natural disasters like floods and earthquakes. Rich people can use their wealth while scholars can use their pen and preachers their voices to persuade people on taking active part in the noble deeds.

Whosoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hands, and if he is not able to do so then with his tongue, and if he is not able to do so then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.

How Muslims can put into Action:

A Muslim must act in defense of what is right and oppose what is wrong. Our society is full of social evils like corruption, lie, electricity and gas theft, negligence from duty and violation of laws. It is incumbent on everyman to stop these wicked deeds according to the capacity he is having. Denouncing or stopping sins is linked with the ability to do so, but disapproving them with the heart is a must for all Muslims regardless of ability. If a heart is senseless, it has lost its faith.  A Muslim should constantly try to improve his capacity so as to deal with criminal circumstances with tongue or hands .A Muslim should also feel compassion towards his brothers. By stopping them from committing wrongs, they will be saved from Allah's punishment.

To accept sins is the most hideous of all prohibitions. Every person should hate evils and do every possible effort to change them. If wrongdoings are left unattended, they give way to other evils. On the other hand, spreading virtues and nipping evils would cause the society to flourish.

Every person’s every joint must perform a charity everyday when the sun comes up: to act justly between two people is a charity: to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it is a charity: every step you take to prayer is a charity: and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.

Main Teachings:

Charity is a prestigious worship in Islam that normally people think is an act of giving alms to the poor and needy ones in the way of Allah. This Hadith teaches us that charity is in fact a comprehensive term that includes any act or gesture that would help the community. It is not associated with financial help that only rich people can take benefit of, but it is so broad that each and every petty act we perform for the goodness of others is a charity. Even our body's organs or joints perform acts of charity everyday when used for deeds of kindness towards fellow humans.

No one eats better food than that which he eats out of the work of his hands.

Main Teachings:

This Hadith teaches man to earn money by his own hands for his sustenance. Islam does not like begging or spreading hands before people. Our Holy Prophet (PBUH) worked hard himself and bestowed the workers with respect and dignity by saying that "a labourer is a friend of Allah." Once a companion asked about better and clean income. The Prophet replied, "The one who works with his hands and every trade that was done with honesty." (Ahmed)

How Muslims can put into action:

If a Muslim is physically and mentally fit, he should struggle for his livelihood and prosperity. He should be proud even if he is doing a low-profile job because it is afterall a fair and lawful means of earning. A hard worker is always respected in the society while a begger totally loses his dignity.

According to this hadith, a Muslim should abstain from illegal means of earning wealth like bribery, theft, corruption, usury and gambling, otherwise he will earn hellfire for himself in the Hereafter. If everyman strictly follow this hadith, there would be no beggers left in the society. The money collected through charity can be given to true needy people like orphans, widows and disabled ones. 

'Religion is sincerity.' We said: 'To whom?' The Prophet said: 'To Allah, His Book, His messengers, the leaders of the Muslims and their common people.'

Main Teachings:
This hadith embraces all aspects of faith. It ells us that we must be sincere in our faith with Allah, His Prophets and revealed Books and all our dealings with people. As good members of the community we should establish friendly relations with our colleagues and be obedient to our leaders if they are on the right path.


How to put in action:
Sincerity to Allah refers to absolute faith in Allah that He Alone is our Creator, Sustainer and Lord. We must worship Him Alone. We should not bow down before any deity for any purpose. We should call Him Alone for help and in hard times, we should not go to any shrine for the solutions of our troubles. When it comes to sincerity to His Book, we must believe it as a Divine Book and submit ourselves to Allah's commands found within it and guide our lives according to its teachings.


We must have firm belief that Muhammad (SAW) is indeed the messenger of Allah and everything that he tells is true. We must obey him in all of his commands and prohibitions. The Holy Quran says, "Whoever obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah" (4: 80). We must also defend the character and Sunnah of the prophet if someone tries to malign it.


We must respect our leaders and scholars and follow them sincerely if they are right and just. But if they are mistaken, make them correct respectfully without criticizing them. We must not rise up against them. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whoso obeys my commander, obeys me and whoso disobeys my commander disobeys me" (Muslim).


We must feel joy at the prosperity of our Muslim brothers and feel pain and sympathy for them when calamity befalls them. We must sincerely advise them about what is best for them in their faith and their worldly lives. We should work for the solidarity of the society and condemn hate.

None of you believes until he wants for his brother what he wants for himself.

Main Teachings:

It teaches high moral values and etiquettes of virtue in social life and dealings. Islam gives immense importance to humanity and this hadith condemns jealousy and all kind of evils for fellow brothers.

This hadith can be implimented in a number of real life situations. If you want to donate let say a washing machine into the dowry of a poor bride, it should be the same brand or of equalent quality which is running in your own home. Donations made to people hit by natural disasters like eathquake or floods must have worthwhile values. Jealousy is very common in professional environment. This hadith dictates everybody to give true and acurate advice to his competitors when they ask. The faith of aperson is not complete if he doesn't follow such morals. For attaining a perfect faith it is essential that man should be free from selfishness. He should be genuinely interested in the welfare of his brothers. When Mauz bin Jabl enquired from the Holy Prophet (saw) about superior faith, he was answered,"That you desire for others what you desire for yourself and do not desire for others what you do not desire for yourself" (Musnad Ahmed).
