Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Muhammad Preachments and Advices On every occasion, the Prophet (a.s.) preached and advised Muslims to guide them towards perfection. The following are some of the preachments transmitted from him on different occasions: 1.

Warning against the love of this life The Prophet (a.s.) said, “Why do I see that the love of this life has overcome many of people to a degree that as if death in this life has been predetermined on other than them, and as if the truth in this life has been obligated on other than them? As if the news they hear about the deads before them is to them as if they (the deads) are travelers who soon shall come back to them…and you eat their inheritance and shall be immortal after them! How far!

How far! Does the last of them not take a lesson from the first of them? They have ignored and forgotten every preachment in the Qur'an, felt safe from the evil of the end of every bad deed, and not feared the coming down of a great affliction, or the disasters of every happening. Blessed is he whose gain is well, whose inward is virtuous, whose outward is right, and whose morality is straight. Blessed is he who spends the extra of his money, and holds back the nonsense of his speech.

Blessed is he who is humble to Allah (honored is His mention), who is abstinent in what has been permitted to him without denying my Sunna, who has refused the pleasure of this life without turning away from my Sunna, who has followed the benevolent ones from my progeny after me, who has associated with the people of jurisprudence and wisdom, and who has been kind to the people of wretchedness.

Blessed is he from among the believers who gains money with no disobedience and spends it in no disobedience and benefits by it the people of wretchedness, and who keeps away from the people of haughtiness, pride, and the wish for this life, who originate heresies unlike my Sunna, and follow other than my conduct. Blessed is he who betters his manners with people, offers to them his assistance, and keeps them safe from his evil.” [1] 2.

Good deed The Prophet (a.s.) said, “Blessed is he whose age is long and his deeds are good, and so his end shall be good where his Lord will be pleased with him. And woe unto him whose age is long and his deeds are bad, and so his end shall be bad where his Lord will be displeased with him.” [2] 3.
