Hadiths by Sheikh Tariq Appleby No 10

Today I learned about Hadiths:

the prophet Muhammad said, "Actions are but by intentions and each man will have that which he intended." 

Don't pray because your parents are asking you to pray, pray for Allah, not because of your parents pestering you to pray.

the prophet Muhammad said, "Verily Allah does not look at your outward form and wealth; rather He looks at your hearts and deeds."

He looks at your hearts, not your appearance. Good looks do not make a good person.

Don't get obsessed we appear in the eyes of people, but we are not paying attention to what Allah thinks about us.

Some people think Allah look ONLY at your heart, but they don't do good deeds.

If your heart is pure, you will do good things, but if the heart is corrupted then the deeds will be corrupted.

The prophet said, "O people, repent to Allah, for I depend to Allah one hundred times a day."

If you go astray, turn back to Allah.

If you ask Allah to forgive you, all of us make mistakes, be conscious when you ask for forgiveness from Allah.

The prophet Muhammad said, "Verily, Allah accepts repentance of a slave so long as the death rattle has not sounded in his throat."  

If you are on your death bed, and it is too late to ask Allah for forgiveness, there is always a chance that you can die at any-time, none of us know when we will die, so always ask Allah for forgiveness, 

The prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or else keep silent."

If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.

The prophet said, "(True) patience is only when calamity first strikes."

We all have one time that was difficult, but we need to have Sabr (being able to restrain ourselves). 

"How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for all his affairs are good, and that does not apply to anyone except the believer. If something good happens to him, he gives thanks s for it and that's is good for him; if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience, and that is good for him."

If you have sabr, Allah will bless you, if someone you know dies, and you can restrain yourself Allah will give blessings on you.
