Ibadat (Worship) is the reason behind man’s existence

Righteousness is a must in transactions: Transactional worship implies being honest. It is treachery to say something to a brother of yours, trying to make him believe it is true while in fact it is a lie. A believer never lies. It was narrated by Abu Umama that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: The believer is naturally exposed to all traits except betrayal and lying. [Ahmad] You should be truthful, and being truthful is not a grey but a black and white concept, as much as that of gold and soil (being entirely unlike), or that of one dollar and a billion dollars (being thoroughly different). The believer is honest, straight, and spotless; he doesn't violate other people's integrity, always lowers his gaze; he is compassionate, fair to others, and humble. The belief is a set of rules of good conduct: “I have been sent by Allah (SWT) to be an educator, I have been sent to perfect noble conduct”. Believing is giving not taking, so the right way is to give not to take. A book was written once about the Prophet and the author wrote there: "To him who came to this life to give not to take, consecrate the whole existence, take care of man's cause, cultivate the ascendancy of reason, and alleviate the herd instinct. To him whose excellence, nominated him to be the best of all people, so he was singular among the others. To him whose clemency was his core, fairness was his law, compassion was his nature, and solving people's problems was his worship." The reality of transactional ibadat is to be righteous, honest, faithful, virtous, fair, humble, patient, and compassionate, “I have been sent by Allah to perfect noble conduct.” Faith is behaviour, so it follows that he who excels in behaviour, excels in faith. To be continued... In Sha Allah May Allah Bless us and guide us in all our affairs Aameen

“And follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will wipe it out.”

The Prophet said: “And follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will wipe it out.” This part of the hadith illustrates that even those with taqwa, or fear of Allah (swt) may still slip and make mistakes. No one is perfect, but those who are from the mutaqeen or people of taqwa, do not persist in their sins. When they remember Allah (swt) they immediately perform a good deed to outweigh the negative effects of a bad one. Allah (swt) speaks of these people in the Qur’an: “And be quick in the race for forgiveness from Your Lord and for Paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the mutaqeen, Those who spend [for Allah’s cause] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men. Verily, Allah loves the doers of good. And for those who, when they have committed some evil or wronged themselves, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins – and who can forgive sins except Allah – and who do not persist in what [wrong] they have done, while they know. For such, the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing amidst them, wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers [of taqwa].” (Q. 3:133-136). SubhanAllah, may Allah make us of the muttaqeen, Aameen.
