11. Chapter: On Striving (Mujahada) Allah Almighty says, "As for those do jihad in Our Way, We will guide them to Our paths. Truly Allah is with the good-doers," (29:69) and the Almighty says, "And worship your Lord until whay is Certain comes to you." (15:99) The Almighty says, "Remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him completely," (73:7) and the Almighty says, "Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it" (W99:8; H99:7) The Almighty says, "Whatever good you send ahead for your yourselves, you will find it with Allah as something better and as a greater reward." (W73;18; H73:20) The Almighty says, "Whatever good you give away, be Allah knows it." (W2:272; H2:273) 100. Abu Hurayra said that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer although there is good in each. Desire that which will bring you benefit, and seek help from Allah and do not give way to incapacity. If something happens to you, do not say, 'If only I had done such-and-such.' Rather say, 'The decree of Allah. He does what He will.' Otherwise you will open yourself up to the action of Shaytan." [Muslim] 101. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The Fire is surrounded by indulgence of appetites and Jannah is surrounded by things people dislike." [Agreed upon] 104. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Three things follow a dead person: his family, his property and his actions. Two of them return and one remains with him. His family and property return and his actions remain." [Agreed upon] 107. Abu 'Abdullah (or it is said Abu 'Abdu'r-Rahman) Thawban, the client of the Messenger of Allah, said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), say, 'You must do a lot of prostration. For you do not do a single prostration to Allah without Allah raising you up a degree by it and shedding a wrong action from you.'" [Muslim]
