Hadith 6573 Narrated by
Ali ibn AbuTalib
Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said to him: Say: "O Allah, direct me to the right path and make me adhere to the

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 191
Narrated by
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Allah has set forth a parable of a straight path. On both sides of the path there
are two enclosures in which there are open doors, and hanging upon each door are curtains. There is at the end of the path
an admonisher saying: Adhere to the path and don't go astray. Above that there is an announcer who announces as often as
anyone intends to open the doors: Woe be to thee! Don't open it for if you open it you shall have to enter it. He then explained
(this parable) and said: Verily the path is al-Islam; the open doors are the prohibitions made by Allah; the hanging curtains
are the limits set by Allah; the announcer at the end of the path is the Qur'an; and the announcer over it is Allah's Preacher in
every heart.

Sahih Muslim Hadith
Hadith 1694 Narrated by
Aisha
AbdurRahman Ibn Awf asked Aisha (to tell him) the words with which the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) commenced
the prayer when he got up at night. She said: When he got up at night he would commence his prayer with these words: O
Allah, Lord of Gabriel, and Michael, and Isra'il, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who knowest the unseen and the
seen; Thou decidest among Thy servants concerning their difference. Guide me with Thy permission in the divergent views
(which the people) hold about Truth, for it is Thou Who guidest whom Thou wilt to the Straight Path.
STRANGERS:
4:36 - Serve Allah and join not any partners with Him: and do good to parents kinsfolk orphans those
in need neighbors who are near neighbors who are strangers the companion by your side the wayfarer
(ye meet) and what your right hands possess: for Allah loveth not the arrogant the vainglorious;

550 The essence of Islam is to serve Allah and do good to your fellow-creatures. This is wider and more comprehensive
than "Love God and love your neighbour". For it includes duties to animals as our fellow-creatures, and emphasises
practical service rather than sentiment. (4.36)
551 Neighbours who are near: that is, in local situation as well as intimate relationships, just as neighbours who are
strangers includes those whom we do not know or who live away from us. (4.36)
552 The Companion by your side may be your intimate friends and associates, just as the way-farer you meet may be a
casual acquaintance on your travels. This last is much wider than the "stranger within your gate." (4.36)
553 What your right hands possess: For the meaning of the phrase see n. 537 above. (4.36)
554 Real deeds of service and kindness proceed, not from showing off or from a superior sort of condescension (cf. "White
Man's Burden"), but from a frank recognition of our own humility and the real claims, before Allah, of all our fellowcreatures.
For in our mutual needs we are equal before Allah, or perhaps the best of us (as the world sees us) may be
worse than the worst of us (from the same point of view). (4.36)
9:60 - Alms are for the poor and the needy and those employed to administer the (funds); for those
whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in
the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah and Allah is full of
knowledge and wisdom. 1320
