  2. In Jannah, the people will have whatever they wish for, and live therein forever.  
  3. The transgressors will regret the friendships they kept in this world on the Day of Judgement, as they kept them away from the Remembrance of Allāh.  
  4. The Prophet ï·º will complain to Allāh on the Day of Judgement for the Ummah neglecting the Qur’ān.  
  5. Every prophet had enemies.  
  6. The Prophet ï·º was sent as a giver of glad tidings and a warner.  
  7. There are signs of Allāh’s greatness and benevolence all round.  
  8. Ignore the ignorant.  
  9. Read this du‘ā regularly: رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا 
  10. ‘O Our Rabb, avert from us the punishment of Jahannam (Hell); indeed, its punishment is a persisting affliction.’  
  11. Do not be extravagant.
