Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The painters of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it
will be said to them, ‘Make alive what you have created.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Allah said, ‘Who are most unjust than those who try to create something
like My creation? I challenge them to create even a smallest ant, a wheat grain or a barley grain.’ ”

Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘The example of a believer who recites the Qur’an is that of a citron (a citrus fruit)
which is good in taste and good in smell. And the believer who does not recite the Qur’an is like a date
which has a good taste but no smell. And the example of an impious person who recites the Qur’an is
that of Ar-Rihana (an aromatic plant) which smells good but is bitter in taste. And the example of an
impious person who does not recite the Qur’an is that of a colocynth which is bitter in taste and has no
smell.”

Narrated `Aisha: Some people asked the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding the soothsayers. He said, “They are nothing.” They said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Some of their talks come true.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “That word which happens to be
true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from the Heaven) and pours it in the ears of his friend
(the foreteller) with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayers then mix with that word, one
hundred lies.”

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There will emerge from the East some people who will recite the Qur’an but it will
not exceed their throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow passes
through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the arrow, comes back to the middle of
the bow (by itself) (i.e., impossible). The people asked, “What will their signs be?” He said, “Their
sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards and their heads). (Fath-ul-Bari, Page 322, Vol. 17th)

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) was hiding himself in Mecca and used to recite the (Qur’an) in a loud voice. When the
pagans heard him they would abuse the Qur’an and the one who brought it, so Allah said to His
Prophet: ‘Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.’ (17.110)

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “(There are) two words which are dear to the Beneficent (Allah) and very light (easy) for the tongue (to say), but very heavy in weight in the balance. They are: ”Subhan Allah wa-bi hamdihi” and ”Subhan Allah Al-`Azim.” (see Hadith 6682 ) .

Narrated `Abdullah: A man said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Which sin is the biggest in Allah’s Sight?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “To set
up rivals unto Allah though He Alone created you.” That man said, “What is next?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“To kill your son lest he should share your food with you.” The man said, “What is next?” The
Prophet said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.” Then Allah
revealed in confirmation of that: “And those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor kill such
life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever
does this shall receive the punishment….. (25.68)

Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Your stay (in this world) in comparison to the stay of the nations preceding you,
is like the period between `Asr prayer and the sun set (in comparison to a whole day). The people of
the Torah were given the Torah and they acted on it till midday and then they were unable to carry on.
And they were given (a reward equal to) one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the
Gospel and they acted on it till `Asr Prayer and then they were unable to carry on, so they were given
la reward equal to) one Qirat each. Then you were given the Qur’an and you acted on it till sunset,
therefore you were given (a reward equal to) two Qirats each. On that, the people of the Scriptures
said, ‘These people (Muslims) did less work than we but they took a bigger reward.’ Allah said (to
them). ‘Have I done any oppression to you as regards your rights?’ They said, “No.” Then Allah said,
‘That is My Blessing which I grant to whomsoever I will.’ ”

Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) “What deeds are the best?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “(1) To perform the (daily
compulsory) prayers at their (early) stated fixed times, (2) to be good and dutiful to one’s own
parents, (3) and to participate in Jihad in Allah’s Cause.”
