A TRUE MUSLIM

“A true Muslim is like a rain, wherever it falls, it will benefit.”

- Habib Umar bin Hafiz
Being a true Muslim is not just about following a religion; it's about living a life of kindness, compassion,
and faith. In simple words, a true Muslim is someone who strives to be a good person and a better human
being while practicing the teachings of Islam.

At the heart of being a true Muslim is faith. Muslims believe in one God, Allah, and follow the
teachings of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. They believe in the Prophet Muhammad as the final
messenger of God.
“Faith is like a guiding light that helps Muslims make good choices and stay on the right path.”
He knows that Allah is watching over his deeds. He always bows his head to Allah. It is his faith that Allah
is the creator of everything. That is why he does good deeds and avoids evils. He follows the teachings of
the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

A true Muslim leads a simple life. The “simple way of life” is the hallmark of Islam and the essential
component of the believer of Islam. Human nature has abominable attributes like malice and envy. That is
why mutual enmity and hatred arise. In such a situation, a person keeps an eye on others’ property and wants
to get all this either.
“When you bowed before others than Allah, neither your body nor your soul is yours”
- Allam Muhammad Iqbal
But a good Muslim never desires such things. He earns his livelihood by honest means. He believes that God
will never starve him. He does not beg for things. He does not bow down his self-respect. The followers of
Islam live like a family. They give zakat to poor people so they can live a good life.
“A Muslim shall never leave another Muslim helpless in the time of need.”

A Muslim does not harm anyone. He takes care of his family, relatives and neighbors.
“A Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe.”
- Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH)
All the social teachings of the Quran revolve around this basic principle that every Muslim be careful in his
every word and deed. His movements did not cause any physical, mental, emotional, or financial harm to
anyone.
“Do good to others, definitely, Allah loves those who do good to others.”
 A true Muslim is known for their kindness and compassion towards others. Islam teaches the
importance of helping those in need, being generous, and treating everyone with respect and fairness. It's
about being a good friend, neighbor, and citizen.

A good Muslim never indulges in ambiguities. He does not comment before a complete search or
knowledge. He always thinks before talking. He always speaks with authenticity. He knows that his one
wrong word can harm the whole life of a person. He himself always speaks the truth.
“Those who harm Muslim men and women by accusing them of no crime. Surely they bear the
burden of great slander and open sin”
- Surah Al-Quran

A true Muslim respects people of all faiths and backgrounds. Islam teaches tolerance and
understanding towards others' beliefs and practices. It encourages peaceful coexistence with people from
different walks of life.
“A Muslim does not curse the non-Muslims rather he prays that Allah guides them to Islam ”

A true Muslim is someone who believes in Allah, prays regularly, shows kindness and compassion,
gives to those in need, practices self-control, and respects others. Being a true Muslim is not just about
religious rituals but also about being a good person and making the world a better place for everyone. It's
about living a life guided by faith and love for humanity.
