Six Pure Qualities of a Believer.
Every believer must make a concerted effort to acquire the following six qualities (so that he may get the reality of this world and the Aakhirat.)
- Acquiring of knowledge, so that one may discern between good and evil.
- Befriending such persons who will enjoin one towards good and prevent one from evil (such persons are worthy of calling friends.)
- Recognising one`s enemies (so that one may save oneself from harm. The greatest enemies are nafs and Shaitaan.)
- The ability to contemplate, so that one may take lessons from the signs of Allah Ta`ala.
- To exercise justice with creation (so that on the day of Qiyamah, one has no enemies who will lay claim to their rights.)
- Preparation for death before its arrival (so that at the time of parting, one does not go with empty hands and regret.)
“And prepare (your provisions for the journey to the hereafter). Indeed the best provision is Taqwa.” (Sura Baqara Vs 197)
