SEVEN STEPS TO HAVEN

By: Dr Izzat Husain

Step1.

Love Allah
Check out your Tauheed
FIND FREQUENCY OF ALLAH IN YOR MIND.
*And why should I not worship Him (Allah Alone) who has created me and to whom you shall be returned. Al Quran: 36/22
*Allah There is no god but He: and on Allah, therefore, let the Believers put their trust. Al Quran: 64/13
*And remember the Name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with a complete devotion. *(He Alone is) the Lord of the
east and the west, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). So take Him Alone as Wakîl (Disposer of
your all affairs). Al Quran: 73/8-9
Step2.

Follow Mohammad SAW.

Allah’s messenger
*Muhammad (SAW.) Is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful
among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good
Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of (their) prostration (during
prayers). This is their description in the Tarot (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which
sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the swears that
He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe. Al Quran: 48/29.

*Truly, you (O Muhammad) are one of the Messengers,

* On a Straight Path Al Quran: 36/3-4
Step3.

Read Quran
Each & every day, with understanding.

*By the Quran, full of wisdom (i.e. full of laws, evidences, and proofs), Al Quran: 36/2
*That (this) is indeed an honorable Noble Al Quran.
*In a Book well-guarded .
* Which, none can touch but purified! Al Quran: 56/77-78-79.
*So recite as much of the Quran as may be easy (for you), and perform As-Salât (Namaz) Al Quran: 73/20

Step4.

Obey Ahlebait
Ask to Ali ibne Abu Talib, through Nahjul Balagha & his successor,
How to follow Allah & Mohammad (SAW)?

*Obey those who ask no wages of you (for themselves), and who are rightly guided. Al Quran: 36/21
Step5.

Practice regular charity

Spend of that with which Allah has provided you
*"Spend of that which Allah has provided you," Al Quran: 2/2
*It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last
Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers;
to spend of your substance Parents, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those
who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which ye
have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the
people of truth, the Allah Fearing. Al Quran: 2/177

*and give Zakât, and lend Allah a goodly loan, and whatever good you send before you for yourselves, (i.e. Nawâfil non-
obligatory acts of worship: prayers, charity, fasting, Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.), you will certainly find it with Allâh, better and
greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
Al Quran: 73/20
Step6.

Hate Shaitan
Let away Shaitan from you,
*Did I not ordain for you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaitân (Satan).Verily, he is an open enemy to you.
Al Quran: 36/60
*168. O mankind! Eat of that which is lawful and good on the earth, and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). Verily, he is
to you an open enemy.
*169. [Shaitan] commands you only what is evil and (sinful), and that you should say against Allah what you know not.
170. When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah has sent down." They say: "No! We shall follow what we originate from our
fathers" (Would they do that!) Even though their fathers did not understand anything nor were they guided?
*171. And the example of those who disbelieve! is as that of him who shout to (gathering of sheep) that hears nothing but calls
and cries. (They are) deaf, dumb and blind. So they do not understand.
*172. O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allah)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to
Allah, if it is indeed He Whom you worship.
*173. He has forbidden you only the dead animals, and blood, and the flesh of pig, and that which is slaughtered as others than
Allah or has been slaughtered for idols, etc., on which Allah’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering. But if one is
forced by necessity without willful disobedience or transgress due limits, then there is no sin on him. Truly, Allah is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful.
*174. Verily, those who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book, and purchase a small gain therewith (of worldly things),
they eat into their bellies nothing but fire. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them, and theirs
will be a painful torment.
*175. Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold
they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire. Al Quran: 2/ 168-175.

Step7.

Seek Forgiveness of Allah for your previously committed sins.

Astaghfar
*And seek Forgiveness of Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful. Al Quran: 73/20.
*The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment, the Bestowal (of favors), Lâ ilâha illa Huwa
(none has the right to be worshipped but He), to Him is the final return. Al Al Quran:40/3.
