Muslims believe;
• This Hadith’s teaching stresses the virtues of modesty,
as it creates a morally pious and respectful society. In

Hadith 17 own self-interest, will not engage in anti-social
activities and will be ashamed if he/she does
something wrong.
• The core teaching of this Hadith is that modesty is an
invaluable trait of Muslims that keeps them rooted in
the path of God.
19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 8
 Describe their teachings about what
Muslims believe;
• Modesty helps to create a morally pious and respectful
society as by being modest, a believer does not seek to
Hadith 17 promote his/her position or rights but works towards
the creation of a peaceful society. The Prophet (pbuh)
makes it a condition of faith that one considers others
in the same way as one considers oneself.

 Explain how Muslims can put these
teachings into action:
• A Muslim’s speech, dress, attitude towards life must
not be ostentatious.
• They must remain humble.
Hadith 17 • A Muslim must stay away from everything that
would be displeasing to God.
Modesty is also a shield against immorality and
candidates could say that it can be practised by
lowering one’s gaze in the presence of the opposite
gender and by not being overly familiar with them.
19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 10
 Explain how Muslims can put these
teachings into action:
• Modesty can be practised today by taking the
moderate/middle path. A Muslim’s dress,
mannerisms, attitude towards life must not be
extravagant or ostentatious, but instead be simple
Hadith 17 and humble.
• By acknowledging God as the Master and the giver
of all blessings, a Muslim can practice modesty as it
is a trait of a humble person.
• Other examples of modesty, . . . .

He who has in his heart as much faith as a

Hadith 18 believe;
• explain how Muslims can put these teachings

19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 13

 Describe their teachings about what
Muslims believe;
• The teaching of this Hadith confirms what is indicated by
the text of the Qur’an that all those who affirm the
oneness of God will enter Paradise, initially or later on,
unlike the obedient believer who is free of any major sin
and will enter Paradise without being exposed to hell fire.
Hadith 18 • Pride on the contrary is linked with arrogance, a trait
which led Iblis to be expelled from Paradise and one that
Muslims should shun. In this Hadith, the clear teaching is
that everything a person has is God given, and that a
Muslim should be grateful to God for the blessings given
and avoid pride lest he/she be led astray.
19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 14
 Explain how Muslims can put these
teachings into action:
• Remaining firm in his/her faith and avoiding pride
are ways in which the teachings of this Hadith can
be practised.
• The Prophet (pbuh) remained humble even after the
Hadith 18 conquest of Makka. Iblis, on account of his pride,
disobeyed his Creator and was subsequently expelled
from Paradise. Hence Muslims should always make
sure that there is no place for pride in their hearts.
• Quotes from the Qur’an and other Hadiths could be
given here.

paradise could be explained by saying that those

Judgment live for the present without fear of
accountability, so may not live a life prescribed by
God.
19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 19
 Explain how Muslims can put these teachings into

this world is temporary.

connection between God and His servant is through
righteousness (taqwa), so whoever has more taqwa
is closer to God.
Hadith 20 • Hence a true believer is never proud of his wealth,
beauty or children etc. All good actions must be

acts should be to seek the pleasure of God as on
the Day of Judgment the intentions will be tested
along with outward actions and rewarded.
19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 24
 Describe their teachings about what
Muslims believe;
• Sincerity in one’s intentions and actions is what is

Hadith 20 All that one has, wealth, fame, position even good
looks are God given so He is not impressed by
them, God in fact rewards Muslims for the sincerity
of their actions, it is not even the success of an
action but the intention behind it which is rewarded
by Him.
19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 25
 Explain how Muslims can put these teachings
into action:
• Every action of a Muslim must be sincere. Good
intention should be the backbone of every endeavour.
• If advice is given to someone it should be honest and

philanthropist.

intentions i.e. the intention must always be to please
God and do the right thing.
19/05/2024 Prepared by Ali Imran 26

teachings into action:
• A Muslim’s action must be based on sincerity.
