Selected Course to Understand the Demands of Qur'an

Whenever you want to pursue the truth and verify anything you hear about Islam, we urge you to please use the only valid and divine source of Islam, Qur'an.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Do not envy one another, and do not
inflate prices for one another, and do not hate one another, and do not turn
away from one another, and do not undercut one another in trade, but [rather]
be slaves of Allah and brothers [amongst yourselves]. A Muslim is the brother of
a Muslim: he does not oppress him, nor does he fail him, nor does he lie to
him, nor does he hold him in contempt. Taqwa (piety) is right here [and he
pointed to his chest three times]. It is evil enough for a man to hold his
brother Muslim in contempt. The whole of a Muslim is inviolable for another
Muslim: his blood, his property, and his honour.”
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah
[The Most High] be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah
[The Most High] say:
The first of people against whom
judgment will be pronounced on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who died a
martyr. He will be brought and Allah [The Most High] will make known to him His
favours and he will recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them? He will say:
I fought for you until I died a martyr. He will say: You have lied - you did but fight that it might be said [of you]: He is
courageous. And so it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged along
on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire.
[Another] will be a man who has studied
[religious] knowledge and has taught it and who used to recite the Quran. He
will be brought and Allah [The Most High] will make known to his His favours
and he will recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them? He will say: I studied [religious] knowledge
and I taught it and I recited the Quran for Your sake. He will say: You have lied - you did but study
[religious] knowledge that it might be said [of you]: He is learned. And you recited
the Quran that it might be said [of you]: He is a reciter. And so it was said.
Then he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face until he is cast into
Hell-fire.
[Another] will be a man whom Allah [The Most High] had made rich and
to whom He had given all kinds of wealth. He will be brought and Allah [The
Most High] will make known to his His favours and he will recognize them. [The Almighty]
will say: And what did you do about them?
He will say: I left no path [untrodden] in which You like money to be spent
without spending in it for Your sake. He will say: You have lied - you did but do so that it might be said [of you]: He is
open-handed. And so it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged
along on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire.

at-Tirmidhi and an-Nasa'i).
