8. Steadfastness

[ummtaalib]

Allah, The Most Exalted says:

 

"Verily, those who say: 'Our Lord is (only) Allah,' and thereafter stand firm and straight (on the Islamic Faith of Monotheism), on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Such shall be the dwellers of Jannah, abiding therein (forever), - a reward for what they used to do."

(Qur’aan - 46:13, 14)

 

The Noble Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is reported to have said:

 

"Follow the Right Path of Faith strictly, and be steadfast; and keep in mind that none of you can achieve salvation through his (good) actions." Someone asked, "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He (pbuh) said, "Not even me, unless Allah grants me His Mercy and Grace".

(Hadith: Muslim)
