HIS GOLDEN PRINCIPLES

Prophet Muhammad was known for the comprehensiveness of his speech. These comprehensive words were the golden principles of his teachings and they are bedrock of Islam. Among his comprehensive words are the following: “2

“Religion is sincerity,’

“Do not cause harm or reciprocate harm. “3

“Actions are by their intentions.”4

“God is beautiful, and He loves beauty”.5

“Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him say what is good, or remain silent.”

“Fear God wherever you may be. Follow a bad action with a good one to erase it. And treat people well.”7

“Every human being makes a mistake. And the best of those who make mistakes are the ones who repent and ask forgiveness.”I

“A good word is charity. “2

“Be in this world like a stranger.”3

“The one who encourages a good is like the one who acts upon it.”4
