To Do List for the Mu’min (Believer)

 

1. Succesful indeed are the believers. 

2. Those who offer their Salat (prayers) with full solemnity and full submissiveness.

3.  And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has forbidden).

4. And those who pay the Zakat.

5.  And those who guard their chastity (i.e private parts, from illegal sexual acts)

6. Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame;

7. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors;

8. Those who are faithfully true to their Amanat (all that duties which Allah has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility, and trusts etc.) and to their covenants;

9. And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawat (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours).

10. These are indeed the inheritors.
