ADVICE: No Such Thing As Extremism In Islam

It was narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "The deen (your religion Islam) is easy. Anyone who deliberately makes the deen (Islam) too hard on himself will find it becomes too much for him. So aim for what is right, follow a middle path, accept the good news of the reward for right action, and seek help [to reach your goal by being constant in worshiping] in the morning, evening and some of the night." [Bukhari]

ALLAH KNOWS BEST.

Below are some examples of deeds that can explain what deficiency, moderation and extremism in Islam is:

 The similitude of the above is that of different levels of body size e.g. emaciated/malnourished (deficiency), slim (moderation), extremely obese (extremism):

It was narrated that Anas (May Allah be pleased with him( said, "Three people came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) to ask about how the Prophet (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) worshiped. When they were told, it was as if they thought it was little and said, 'Where are we in relation to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who has been forgiven his past and future wrong actions?'" He said, "One of them said, 'I will pray all of every night.' Another said, 'I will fast all the time and not break the fast.' The other said, "I will withdraw from women and never marry.' The Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) came to them and said, 'Are you the ones who said such-and-such? By Allah, I am the one among you with the most fear and awareness of Allah, but I fast and break the fast, I pray and I sleep, and I marry women. Whoever disdains my sunnah is not with me.'" [Agreed upon]

Allah knows best.

Whoever goes against the Sunnah/tradition (example) of the Messenger

Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) may not be among those who

will be welcomed in the Messenger's river of Kauthar on Judgment Day.

ADVICE: Bad Lifestyle V.S. Good Lifestyle

How do you spend your days, especially on Friday?

 On the Day of Judgment,
every person will be asked about 4 things:

1) your life -how you spent your days and nights, every minute

2) your knowledge -your thinking ability, what you did with it

3) your wealth -from where you acquired it and what you did with it

4) your body -how you utilized it, what your ears heard, what your eyes saw, what your hands did, where your legs went, what feelings your heart hid, what your mind kept thinking about, what your tongue said etc.

all of the above things which Allah gave you will be asked about on Judgment Day. What answers will you give Allah when you stand before your King and Creator Allah?

It was narrated that Allah's Messenger Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: “The two feet of the servant will not cease (from standing before Allah) on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about four things: on his life and how he spent it; on his knowledge and what he did with it; on his wealth and where he earned it and how he spent it; and on his body and in what way he utilized it.” [Tirmidhi]

Allah knows best.

ADVICE: Sunnah Salahs/Prayers Can Benefit

It was narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: “The first of his actions for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, then he will have prospered and succeeded; and if they are deficient, then he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, Allah will say: ’see if My servant has any supererogatory prayers with which may be completed that which was defective in his obligatory prayers.’ Then the rest of his actions will be judged in like fashion.”

 [At-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood, an-Nasaa‘i, Ibn Majah and Ahmad]

ALLAH KNOWS BEST.

A Muslim who prays the five obligatory salahs is much better than a person who does not pray at all.

A Muslim who prays the Sunnah/voluntary salahs before and after the obligatory salahs is much better than a Muslim who prays only the five obligatory salahs.

A Muslim who prays the Sunnah/voluntary salahs before and after the obligatory salahs AND regularly prays Dhuha in the forenoon and Tahajjud at night is much better than the Muslim who does not regularly pray Tahajjud nor Dhuha.

The similitude of the above is that of students who received different grades in an exam:

a student who got a C for his mark is better than a student who got an F

a student who got a B is better than the one who got a C

an A student is better than a B student

and an A+ student is much better than an A- student. 

As humans we cannot be sure that every one of our salahs/prayers, since the time we are held accountable, are accepted 100% so in order to compensate for the 'unaccepted' salahs, it is encouraged or even necessary to pray as many Sunnah prayers as you can every day and night.

Allah knows best.
