The Prophet's Advice on Achieving True Goodness and Overcoming Satan

Hadith on Taqwa: Be mindful of Allah عَزَّ وَجَــــل as it is sum of all good

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri رضي الله عنه reported:

A man came to the Messenger of Allah (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) and he said:

“O Messenger of Allah (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ), instruct me.” 

The Prophet (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said:

“You must fear Allah, for it is the sum of all good. You must wage jihad in the way of Allah, for it is the monasticism of the Muslims. You must remember Allah and recite His Book, for it will be your light upon the earth and your mention in the heavens. You must hold your tongue unless it is good, for by it you will defeat Satan.”

[al-Mu’jam al-S‌aghi‌r lil-T‌abara‌ni‌ 949]

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا جِمَاعُ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَعَلَيْكَ بِالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا رَهْبَانِيَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَلَيْكَ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَتِلاوَةِ كِتَابِهِ فَإِنَّهُ نُورٌ لَكَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَذِكْرٌ لَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَاخْزُنْ لِسَانَكَ إِلا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّكَ بِذَلِكَ تَغْلِبُ الشَّيْطَانَ
