The Essentials of Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that purity, praising Allah, prayer, charity, patience and the Quran are all important aspects of faith.

Abu Malik Al-Harith bin Asim Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah said: "Purity is half of faith, and the praise of Allah fills the scale. Glorification and praise fill up what is between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is a light, charity is proof, and patience is illumination. The Quran is a proof for you or against you. All people go out early in the morning and sell themselves, either setting themselves free or ruining themselves". Muslim.
وعن أبي مالك الحارث بن عاصم الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏الطهور شطر الإيمان، والحمد لله تملأ الميزان، وسبحان الله والحمد لله تملآن -أو تملأ- ما بين السماوات والأرض، والصلاة نور، والصدقة برهان، والصبر ضياء، والقرآن حجة لك أو عليك‏.‏ كل الناس يغدو، فبائع نفسه فمعتقها، أو موبقها‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad teaches us about the importance of faith and how it is connected to various aspects of our lives. Purity is half of faith which means that we must strive to keep ourselves clean in order to have a strong connection with God. We should also praise Allah as this fills up what is between the heavens and earth. Prayer is a light which guides us on our spiritual journey while charity serves as proof that we are devoted believers. Patience helps us stay focused on our goals while the Quran serves as a reminder for us or against us depending on how we use it. Lastly, all people go out early in the morning and sell themselves either setting themselves free or ruining themselves meaning that each day presents an opportunity for growth or destruction depending on how we choose to live it out.
