MEANS OF HAVING GOOD LIFE
1. BELIEVING (in the oneness of Allah) AND GOOD DEEDS

Q65:2-3

Allah the most high said,
“And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him He will make his matter easy for him.”

Q20:124

4. KEEPING AWAY FROM DENYING AND MAKING JEST OF THE SIGNS OF ALLAH AND SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET (P.B.U.H)

“Those before them denied and so the torment came on them from direction they perceive not. So Allah made them to taste the disgrace in the present life, but greater is the torment of the hereafter.”

Imam Alhassan al Bannah said,
“Be very avarice in carrying out your work by doing it well and perfectly without adulteration, and keep your promises”

7. KEEPING AWAY FROM SUPPORTING UNBELIEVERS AND BLASPHEMOUS PEOPLE
Allah the most high said,
“And had we not make you stand firm you would nearly have inclined to them a little. In that case We would have made you taste a double portion (of punishment) in this life and a double portion (of punishment) after death. And then you would have found none to help you against Us”
Q17:74-75

8. SHUNNIG BAD FRIENDS
Allah the most high said,
“And (remember) the day when the Zalum (wrong doer), oppressor, polytheist will bite at his hands he will say: “Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the messenger (Muhammad saw). Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never take so-and-so as Khalil (an inmate friend) he indeed led me astray from the reminder (Qur’an) after it had came to me”
Q25:27-29

9. SHYNESS
Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) said,
“Shyness is part of Iman” and “shyness comes with nothing but goodness”

10. GUIDANCE
Allah the most high said,
”…He whom Allah guides, he is the rightly guided; but he whom He sends astray, for him you will find no wali (guiding friend) to lead him (to the right path)”
Q18:17

11. REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH
Allah the most high said,
“Those who believe (in the oneness of Allah) and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest”

Praise is to Allah whom out of His blessings good thing’s perfected.

INCONSISTENCIES TO ISLAMIC AQEEDA

In the name of Allah the beneficent the merciful

Praise be to Allah alone, may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon Muhammad whom no prophet will succeed (come after him).

It is inconsistent with Islamic creed (aqeedah)to:
1. believe that there exist a man who knows the unseen; only Allah the most high knows the unseen.

2. believe that there exist an man who deserves to be worshiped, only Allah is worthy of worshiping.

16. turn graves into mosques.

17. make superstition and portending a day a month, a number, a bird and so on ;and falling under their influence (superstition and portending) to the extent that a man will go out for his work or carry out what will benefit him.

32. deny the attributes of Allah the most high especially those He attributed Himself with or those attributed to Him by His prophet PBUH.
