path. Hence, a Muslim must learn Quran with
understanding as much as possible and also
gain knowledge of the Hadith of Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) in order to know and stay
on the path of righteousness. In one of his
Hadiths, Prophet (SAW) said : “He who loves
my Sunnah has loved me, and he who loves
me will be with me in Paradise.”( Tirmidhi)
Believe in Allah: The most important thing
that is the heart of all the Islamic faith is to
believe in Allah. It is the nature and dignity of
this belief that shapes the life of a Muslim
and makes him or her better Muslim. If
someone has strong belief in Allah, he or she
would satisfy in good and forbid bad, which is
the essence of Islam.
Respect your Parents: Every Muslim is aware
of the fact that parents are one of the
greatest gifts of Allah Almighty and they play
a great role in while parenting kids. Parents
deserve utmost gratitude and the highest level
of respect that a human can deserve. In
Quran, Allah Almighty says: “And your Lord
has decreed that you worship none but Him;
and that you be dutiful to your parents. If one
of them or both of them attain old age in your
life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor
shout at them, but address them in terms of
honor.”(Quran, 17-23). It is important that in
order to become a good Muslim, one should
respect the parents from the bottom of the
heart and express this respect in actions as
well.
Remembrance of Allah (Dhikr): Dhikr refers to
the remembrance of Allah Almighty. Allah is
the creator and sustainer of life; therefore, for
a Muslim, it is essential to remember Allah all
the time. The more a Muslim remembers
Allah, the more he or she becomes conscious
of His existence, which makes sticking to the
right path easier and keeps a person
motivated towards being a better and true
Muslim.
Sit in the Company of Good Muslims: The
person with which he/she sits or interacts
with have a great impact on the personality of
a person, therefore, if a Muslim wishes to
become a good Muslim, it is necessary that he
or she avoids the company of bad people and
keeps the company of good Muslims. Prophet
(PBUH) said in His hadith: “On the Day of
Resurrection Allah Almighty will proclaim:
“Where are those who have a mutual love for
My Glory’s sake? Today I shall shelter them
in My shade where there is no shade but
Mine.” (Muslim). So, when Muslims befriend
each other for the reason that they want to
be better Muslims, then they will receive the
benefits of this act in this world and in the
world hereafter as well.
Be Kind to Others: Ethics is one of the major
teachings of Islam. For a Muslim religious life
is of importance, yet, in order to be a true
believer, the religious life needs to be
complemented with kindness in the ethics
domain as well. Therefore, whenever a Muslim
finds a chance, he or she should strive
towards being kind and take care of all those
around and help them in the time of need. Be
kind to others is also one of the things that
we should adopt to become a better Muslim.
Forgive Others: When someone hurts you, try
to forgive them. It might be hard but just try
to forgive. If you don’t forgive them for
whatever they did and hold that against them
for the rest of your life, you’ll just be hurting
yourself more because it’s unhealthy to hold a
grudge. It’s a good step to becoming a better
Muslim.
Establish an Islamic Culture in the Home:
Make sure you and your family have Islamic
culture in your home. Everyone in your home
should have prayer beads, prayer rugs and
should offer Salah regularly on time. You
should do all those things in your home that
comes in Islamic culture.
Should try to go Mosque: One of the major
factors that can help you in becoming a good
Muslim is by getting into the habit of going to
a mosque for prayer. The mosque is the hub
of Islamic preaching and a place where a
Muslim can worship Allah Almighty. Besides
these elements going to mosque five times a
day for prayer gives a Muslim chance to
interact with other Muslims thus gives a
chance to discuss Islam with other people and
learn good things about Islam from them as
well.
Establish daily Prayer: If there is one single
thing that represents Muslim these days or
has been a representative of Muslims since
Islam is the obligatory prayers. Muslims all
over the world prostrate in front of Allah
Almighty five times a day. The prayers are an
identity of a Muslim at a superficial level,
however, at a deeper level, prayers represent
the essence of Islam and a Muslim, which is
that all the people are subjects of Allah and
He as the Lord deserves praise, worship, and
all the prayers.
