Three things that will bring salvation

 

Ibn Jarīr recorded that Yazīd bin Abi Maryam said:

“Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, passed by Mu’ādh bin Jabal and asked, ‘What is the foundation of this Ummah?’ Mu’ādh said, “Three things, and they are the things that will bring salvation: Al-Ikhlā(doing a deed for Allāh alone), which is the Firah with which Allāh created mankind; alāh, which is the thing that tells a believer apart from a disbeliever; and obedience, which is protection.’ ‘Umar said: ‘You have spoken the truth.”

A-abari 20:98.

The Meaning of Ibādah and Islām


The Meaning  of Ibādah and Islām

Ibn Kathīr (رَحِمَهُ اللهُ) said:

Ibādah is obedience to Allāh  by acting upon what He commands, abandoning what He forbids, and this is the reality and essence of Islām. And the meaning of Islām is: Istislām (submission and surrender) to Allāh (سُبحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) along with the utmost compliance, humility, and submissiveness to Him.”
