Escaping torment in the next world is dependent only upon following Muhammad ‘alaihis-salâm’. He who follows the way guided by him will attain the love of Allahu ta’âlâ. Those who follow in his footsteps will be close to Allahu ta’âlâ. He who adapts himself to him will get the happiness of being a faithful born servant of Allahu ta’âlâ. The greatest ones of the more than a hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets that came to the world desired to follow him. If Hadrat Mûsâ (Moses) had lived in his time, despite his greatness, he would have preferred to follow him. All Muslims know that Hadrat ’Îsâ will descend from heaven and follow his way. Muslims who are of his ummat became the most auspicious and best of all people because they adapted themselves to him. Most of those who will enter Paradise are from among them, and they will enter before all other people.

Jâbir bin Abdullah ‘radiy-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’anh’ relates: I was badly in debt. I told Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ta’âlâ ’alaihi wa sallam’ about it. He came in the yard of my house and walked around the pile of dates, making three rounds. Then he ordered, “Bid your creditors to come here.” Each creditor was given his due, and there was no decrease in the pile of dates.
