And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

Quran 51:56

What is the purpose of our life?

“Whatever is below the ankles from the lower garment will be in the Fire.” (Al-Bukhāri, no. 5787)

Abu Dharr (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, He will not look at them, He will not purify them―and for them is a painful punishment: The one who reminds others of what he has given them, the one who allows his garment to fall below his ankles, the trader who sells his products by making false oaths.” (Muslim no. 106, An-Nasā’ī, no. 2564)

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, when the servant commits a sin, a black mark appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: No, rather a covering is over their hearts from what they have earned.” (83:14)

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The person who is strong is not strong because he can knock people down. The person who is strong is the one who controls himself when he is angry."

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 1317

It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Every son of Adam commits sin, and the best of those who commit sin are those who repent.’”

Sunan Ibn Majah 4251

Ustadh Abu Mussab explains where Allah is based on Quran and Sunnah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also described them in the following terms: “My ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of whom will be in Hell except one group.”

They said: Who are they, O Messenger of Allaah?

He said: “(Those who follow) that which I and my companions follow.”

This is mentioned in the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr which was recorded and classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi (2641).

It was also classed as hasan by al-‘Iraaqi in Ahkaam al-Qur’aan (3/432), al-‘Iraaqi in Takhreej al-Ihya’ (3/284) and al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
