of God (may peace be upon him) used to say in his
prayers:
"O Allah (God),
illuminate my heart with light, and my eyes with light
and my ears with light and let there be light on my
right and light on my left. Let there be light above
me and light below me, let there be light in front
of me and light behind me. O Allah, make me a light"

|
The Messenger of God (may peace
be upon him) said: God the Almighty has said:
"The son of Adam
denied Me and he had no right to do so. And he reviled
Me and he had no right to do so. As for his denying
Me, it is his saying: He [God] will not remake me
as He made me at first * and the initial creation
[of him] is no easier for Me than remaking him. As
for his reviling Me, it is his saying: God has taken
to Himself a son, while I am the One, the Everlasting
Refuge. I begot not nor was I begotten, and there
is none comparable to Me."
* i.e.
bring me back to life after death
The above hadith Qudsi was related by al-Bukhari (also
by an-Nasa'i)

The Messenger of God (may peace
be upon him) said:
'When Allah decreed
the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His
book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails
over my wrath.'

an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).

The Messenger of God (may peace
be upon him) said:
'Allah (God) the Exalted
and Majestic said: Every act of the son of Adam is
for him, except fasting. It is (exclusively) meant
for Me and I (alone) will eward it. Fasting is a shield.
When any one of you is fasting on a day, he should
neither indulge in obscene language, nor raise the
voice; or if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel
with him he should say: I am a person fasting. By
Him, in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the breath
of the observer of fast is sweeter to Allah on the
Day of judgment than the fragrance of musk. The one
who fasts has two (occasions) of joy, one when he
breaks the fast he is glad with the breaking of (the
fast) and one when he meets his Lord he is glad with
his fast.'
Sahih Muslim Book 006, Number 2566. |

be upon him) said:
'Whoever does a good
act so people can hear about it, God will make them

* The implication
of the hadith is that God will not accept the action.

|
