Six Qualities that every Muslim should try and develop in his life

1. Ilm of Deen - Lack or Deficiency in our knowledge is the cause of fitnahs in this world. Major fitnahs are caused because of deficiency in our knowledge. Atleast basic knowledge should be learnt from the Quran and Sunnah.

2. Friend's Choice - Extremely imp and very much applicable in our times . Every Muslim shall choose a friend that will invite him towards good and prohibit him from evil . Huzur (saws) says - " that a friend is on the way of life of his friend . Friend must have an agreement with his friend that if u see me negligent in any of my duties and responsiblities and obligations, if u find i am violating the laws of Quran , Shariah and Sunnah , if u find that i am going to the wrong places , or i am involved in some illicit love relationship or i am engaging in some kind of haraam activity then u must make naseehat to me and i will not be offended , i am not going take it as an offence that why are u advising me , i will appreciate ur naseehat. If he finds his friends in some vice and if he has that much power of influence that he could bring them back his friends in the right direction then alhamdulillah but if not then he should separate . When he is separating also , he shouldn't consider because i am very pious , righteous , holier therefore i am separating from the others. What he must consider is - i am weak and i will also be drawn into those areas of sin and vices .

3. Nafs and Shaitaan - Every Muslim must recognise his nafs and shaitaan as his enemies . There is a great enemy which is hidden inside which wants to see the destruction of this man , his morals , his behaviour , his character and everything else.

4. Injustice - Very very imp for the entire muslim community to understand and realise that if there is injustice from their side then Allah taa'la wrath and anger will descend. There is so much of injustice upon our wives , upon our parents , upon our children, neighbours , families , staff and dont even ask for forgiveness . Then we should remember the hadith - that the dua of the person who has been oppressed , injustice has been done then the dua of such person is definitely accepted.

5. Dont leave evidence of sins - Take lessons from what is happening . Fit, young, healthy couple and they are travelling and suddenly they r gone . Now what will happen , somebody had to break the locks as no key was available , or they had the key and now they had to enter the house and open the cupboards and check for whatever is there for distribution and when they found those things then they were shocked beyond belief that this was the person we thought was very pious but look at what he was watching at home . Accidental sin is accidental but to be persistent in sins and to keep a record of sins , keep photographs ? , we dont know when our death will come , what kind of image are we going to leave ?

6. Preparation of death - Preparation of death is that - we use the same eyes , same tounge , same ears , same wealth , same home, same cars , everything is same . The only thing is we use it now according to Quran and sunnah of our beloved Rasul (saws) . And that is the preparation of death .
