﴿ وَلَا يَأۡمُرَكُمۡ أَن تَتَّخِذُواْ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ وَٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ أَرۡبَابًاۚ أَيَأۡمُرُكُم بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ أَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ ﴾
سورة آل عمران

سورة غافر
34. And indeed Yûsuf (Joseph) did come to you, in times gone by, with clear signs, but you ceased not to doubt in that which he did bring to you: till when he died you said: "No Messenger will Allâh send after him." Thus Allâh leaves astray him who is a Musrif (a polytheist, an oppressor, a criminal, sinner who commit great sins) and a Murtâb (one who doubts Allâh’s Warning and His Oneness).
﴿ فَأَصۡبَحَ فِي ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ خَآئِفٗا يَتَرَقَّبُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِي ٱسۡتَنصَرَهُۥ بِٱلۡأَمۡسِ يَسۡتَصۡرِخُهُۥۚ قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّكَ لَغَوِيّٞ مُّبِينٞ ﴾

سورة البقرة
118. And those who have no knowledge say: "Why does not Allâh speak to us (face to face) or why does not a sign come to us?" So said the people before them words of similar import. Their hearts are alike, We have indeed made plain the signs for people who believe with certainty.

سورة التوبة
112. (The believers whose lives Allâh has purchased are) those who turn to Allâh in repentance (from polytheism and hypocrisy, etc.), who worship (Him), who praise (Him), who fast (or go out in Allâh’s Cause), who bow down (in prayer), who prostrate themselves (in prayer), who enjoin (on people) Al-Ma‘rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all what Islâm has ordained) and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and all that Islâm has forbidden), and who observe the limits set by Allâh (do all that Allâh has ordained and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden).

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man preaching to his brother about modesty; he said: "Modesty is part of faith."
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man advising his brother to refrain from excessive modesty, and he clarified to him that modesty is part of faith and brings nothing but good.

An-Nu‘mān ibn Bashīr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Supplication is worship." Then, he recited: {Your Lord says: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you. Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, utterly debased."} [Surat Ghāfir: 60]
Narrated by Abu Daoud & At-Termedhy Ibn Majah & Ahmad
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that supplication is worship. So, it should be purely directed to Allah, whether supplication is that of request, as the supplicant asks Allah Almighty to bring him what is beneficial and avert from him what is harmful in this world and in the Hereafter, or supplication of worship, involving such words and deeds, inward and outward, that are beloved and pleasing to Allah, acts of worship performed within the heart or through one's body or money. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cited as evidence the verse that reads: {Call upon Me; I will respond to you. Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, utterly debased.}
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two words that are light on the tongue, heavy on the scale, and dear to the Most Merciful: subhān Allah al-‘azhīm (glory be to Allah, the Majestic), subhān Allah wa bihamdih (glory and praise be to Allah)."
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told about two words that the tongue utters without effort and in any condition, they bring great reward when weighed on the scale, and the Most Merciful Lord loves them: Glory be to Allah, the Majestic; glory and praise be to Allah. This is because these two words contain attributes of greatness and perfection of Allah Almighty and exalting Him far above defects and imperfections.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Nothing is more honorable in the sight of Allah Almighty than supplication."
Narrated by At-Termedhy & Ibn Majah & Ahmad
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that no act of worship is more virtuous in the sight of Allah Almighty than supplication. This is because supplication comprises recognition of Allah's self-sufficiency and the servant's helplessness and need of his Lord.
Abu ad-Dardā’ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever protects the honor of his brother in his absence, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Judgment."
Narrated by At-Termedhy & Ahmad

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that whoever says "subhān Allah wa bihamdih (glory be to Allah, and praise be to Him)" one hundred times a day, his sins will be erased and forgiven, even if they were as much as the white foam that appears above the water of the sea when it is wavy and stormy.
Abu Ayyūb (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever says ten times ‘Lā ilāha illa Allah wahdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahu al-mulku wa lahu al-hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadīr (There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner; to Him belongs the dominion, and praise is due to Him, and He has power over all things)' will be the same (in reward) as the one who emancipated four slaves from the children of Ishmael."
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs about the dhikr that says: "Lā ilāha illa Allah wahdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahu al-mulku wa lahu al-hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadīr (There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner; to Him belongs the dominion, and praise is due to Him, and He has power over all things)", and it means: None is worthy of worship except Allah, alone, with no partner, and that He is the Possessor of the whole dominion and the One worthy of praise along with love and extolment, apart from all else; and that He is Powerful and nothing escapes His power. Whoever repeats this dhikr ten times during a day will have a reward similar to the reward for manumitting four slaves from the children of Ishmael, the son of Abraham (peace be upon both of them). He singled out the children of Ishmael because they are nobler than others.
Mu‘āwiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When Allah intends good for someone, He grants him the understanding of the religion. Indeed, I am only a distributor, and Allah is the Giver. This Ummah will continue to follow Allah's laws, not being harmed by those who oppose them, until Allah's command comes to pass."
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that when Allah wills to do good to someone, He endows him with the understanding of His religion. He also states that he is only a distributor who distributes the sustenance, knowledge, and other things that Allah Almighty gave him, and that the true Giver is Allah, and all else are mere causes that can only bring benefit with Allah's permission. He adds that this Ummah will continue to hold onto Allah's laws and not be harmed by those who oppose them until the Hour comes.
Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Verily, Allah loves the servant who is pious, free of wants, and inconspicuous."
Narrated by Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that Allah Almighty loves some of His servants, including the pious: those who fulfill Allah's commands and avoid His prohibitions. And He loves those free from wants: those who dispense with people and only resort to Allah Almighty and turn to none but Him. And He loves the inconspicuous: those who are modest and worship their Lord and only concern themselves with what benefits them, and they do not care about being recognized or praised by others.
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would not refuse a gift of perfume.
Narrated by Bukhari
It was a habit of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to not refuse a gift of perfume and would accept it, as it is light in weight and has a pleasant smell.
Whoever feels remorse for a sin, Allah will guide him to repentance and help him fulfill it.
