the Prophet said

"When you deal with interest, and hold fast to the tail of the cow, and become contented with agriculture, and you leave Jihad in the Way of Allaah, Allaah will permit your humiliation and will not lift it from you until you return to your deen."

"The nations summon each other upon you as you call guests to eat from a plate of food", they said , "will we be few in number on that day O Messenger of Allaah?" He said, "no rather you will be many on that day, but you will be like the foam on the ocean. And Allaah will remove the fear in the hearts of your enemies and place in your hearts al-wahn". They said, "what is al-wahn O Messenger of Allaah?" He said, "love of this world and hatred of death."'

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

Seek (benaficial) knowledge, because seeking it for the sake of Allah is worship. And knowing it makes you more fearing of Allah; and searching for it is jihad, teaching it to those who dont know is charity, reviewing it and learning it is like tasbeh. Through knowledge Allah will be known and worshipped.

[Khaled]

“O you people! I have been given authority over you but I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me, and if I do wrong, then put me right. Truth consists in loyalty and falsehood in treachery. The weak among you shall be strong in my eyes until I secure his right if Allah wills; and the strong among you should be weak in my eyes until I wrest the right from him. If a people refrain from the fighting in the way of Allah, Allah will smite them with disgrace. Wickedness is never widespread in a people but Allah brings calamity upon them all. Obey me as long as I obey Allah and His Messenger, and if I disobey them you owe me no obedience. May Allah forgive me and forgive you.” - Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq radiyAllaahu 'unhu

I would consider that a basic education!" [Brother Nouman Ali Khan]

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

"Faith (îmân) is not sound except with [correct] words. Faith and words are not sound except with [good] works. And faith, words and deeds are not sound except with [the correct] intentions in conformance to the Sunnah. Those who went before us of our Salaf did not separate faith from deeds: deeds are a part of faith..., and faith is from [ones deeds]."

-Imâm Al-Awzâ’î

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

Improve your secret and private life, and Allah will improve your public and social life. Make matters well between you and Allah, and Allah will make matters well between you and people. Work for the Hereafter, and Allah will be enough for you in your worldly concerns.
