The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 1. It is the duty of a Muslim to listen and obey the leader (the person in charge) whether he likes it or dislikes it, except when he is ordered to disobey Allah, then no listening and no obeying. 2. The like of the believers in their love, compassion and mercy is like a body when one part of it pains the rest of the body stays awake and feverish. 3. A woman is not allowed to travel except with a Mihram, and she is not allowed to be with a man unless there is a Mihram with her. (Note: A Mihram includes the womans husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, son, stepson or nephew). 4. Help your brother (Muslim) whether he is right or wrong. The Prophet was asked: We help him when he is right, but how do we help him when he is wrong? The Prophet answered: By preventing him from doing wrong, in such a way that you help him. 5. Whosoever imitates others he becomes one of them. 6. Excessive laughter deadens the heart. 7. No one of you would be a believer until he loves for his brother (Muslim) what he loves for himself. 8.

His companions answered: the bankrupt amongst us is the one who has neither money nor food to eat. The Prophet said (The bankrupt one of my ummah (nation) is that who comes on the day of Judgement with praying, fasting and almsgiving, but he cursed this, backbit that, usurped the wealth of this, hurt that; then each of these people will be given from his share of rewards to compensate for the wrongs were done on them. When his rewards are exhausted before his debts are paid, the bad deeds of those who were wronged by him will be laid on him and he will be thrown into Hell Fire). 11. Any Muslim who plants a plant so that a bird, a human or other dumb animals would eat from it, Allah will reward him for it. 12. When a human being dies, his relation with this world is severed except of three things: continuous charity, useful knowledge and righteous children who do good deeds and pray for him. 13. Look at the people who are below you and do not look at the people who are above you, so that you do not be greedy or ungrateful of Allah Blessings. 14. Allah does not look at your features and possessions but He looks at your hearts and deeds. 15. You do not enter Paradise until you believe (in Allah) and you do not believe until you love each other. Shall I guide you to something if you do it you would love each other? Spread peace amongst yourselves. 16. The first priority of knowledge is to know Allah and the last one is to refer all matters to Him. 17. The most liked deed to Allah is the continuous one even though it is little. 18. If you have no shame, do what you wish. 19. Have mercy on others, you receive mercy from Allah. Forgive others, you will be forgiven. 20. Your worst enemy is yourself within you. 21. The best of worship is seeking knowledge (of Allahs creation).
