Hadith 1

Muslims believe that religion is not just some outwardly expression, or the carrying out of
obligations, but also a part of one’s soul. They believe in being sincere to all those mentioned in the
hadith. They believe that to be a true Muslim, Islam must be embedded in their hearts. They believe
that Islam requires utter dedication, not just of the body and tongue, but also of the heart. They
believe this sincerity is owed, firstly, to Allah, meaning that one does not just worship, but also
means that worship. Then it is owed to His book and Messengers, as they bring His message, and so
we are expected to be sincere to them too. Lastly, it is owed to both the leaders and common
people of the community, so that Muslims may live together harmoniously.
Muslims can implement these teachings by purifying one’s heart and dedication it only in the way of
Allah, and removing from one’s self any worldly desires. They can worship Him, and only Him, fulfil
obligations solely for the purpose of pleasing him, and perform other acts pleasing to him too. They
can show sincerity to the Messenger and the Qur’an by following their teachings and by respecting
and loving them. They can show sincerity to Muslim leaders by obeying them as long as they follow
Islam. They can show sincerity to others by caring for their welfare and working towards it, by loving
the for the sake of Allah. All this not only allows one to live in harmony with one’s own self, it also
allows the community to function smoothly, and to flourish due to this sincerity that each person
feels for the other.

Hadith 2
Muslims believe that they have a certain responsibility towards their fellow Muslims. They believe
that Muslims are obliged to think well of each other and to treat each other well. They believe that it
is important to harbour goodwill towards each other, not just in open, but also in their hearts. They
believe in doing good for each other, but also in sincerity behind these actions. As the Prophet said,
‘Religion is sincerity.’ They believe that one must not put one’s self above other Muslims, think one’s
self superior to others, or more deserving of good than them. They believe in treating others as they
wish to be treated, not for any worldly reason, but solely for the pleasure of Allah. They believe this
is a test of faith, and those with the purest of faith always want for others as they want for
themselves, or even better.
Muslims can implement these teachings by first working on themselves, humbling themselves so
that they do not think themselves superior to any other. This way, they no longer see themselves as
deserving something others don’t. They can choose the best for others in every situation, be it for a
gift or otherwise. They can advise them the way they themselves would wish to be advised, and not
harbour jealousy for anyone else. They can avoid petty competitions and the like. They believe that
this purifies their faith and grants them peace of heart, and that it is pleasing to Allah.

Hadith 3
Muslims believe that a true believer is the one who is conscious of being answerable to God for the
actions he performs towards the people around. [public dealing].
Hadith 4
Muslims believe that Islam is a religion of ease, that it is not demanding at all, and that it is easy to
follow. They believe that it is not taxing, and has very few actual obligations. They believe there are
just a few select things they have to follow, none of which are difficult. They believe that simply
praying, fasting, doing only halal and avoiding haram is enough to secure for them in the afterlife
paradise. The Qur’an says, ‘Allah intends for you ease,’ and this is made evident by this hadith. Islam
demands very little, and offers huge reward in return, opening the gates of paradise to whoever
does the bare minimum.
Muslims can implement these teachings by ingraining in themselves the importance of carrying out
these obligations, and treating them as inflexible. They can ensure they never miss a prayer or a fast
in Ramadan. They can make sure they perform hajj and give zakat, if they can afford it. They can
ensure that they stay well away from anything Islam prohibits, be it some type of food, some activity
or something else. They can train themselves to stay within the limits of what Islam permits, i.e. the
halal. They can be grateful to Allah for making Islam so easy for them, and they can keep in mind
that while this is all that is necessary, there is lots of benefit in engaging in voluntary worship, and
that they should strive to do their best in order to please Allah.
Hadith 5
Muslims believe that they are obliged to do some act of charity every day. They believe that charity
is not limited to just financial help, but any sort of good deed. The Prophet said, ‘Every good act is a
charity.’ They believe that one great act does not necessarily make a great Muslims, but small good
deeds every day do, and that this is a way of thanking Allah for all the mercies he has granted us.
They believe that doing this is good not just for themselves, but for the community in that they are a
good role model for others like this.
Muslims can implement these teaching by making a habit of doing good deeds regularly. They can
greet everyone with a smile and salam. They can thank Allah for any good thing that happens to
them. They can make an effort to help out in their community however they can, be it by helping
someone elderly cross the road, encouraging youth to attend communal prayers or clearing blockage
from a path. They can behave courteously to everyone, visit the ill and feed others, thus setting an
example for everyone else. They can do these acts purely with the intention of helping out, and
pleasing others, rather than to impress others. Not only does this improve one’s own relation with
Allah it also encourages others in the community to do the same, allowing it to prosper.
