عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ دَخَلْتُ الجَنَّةَ، قَالَ: «تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ المَكْتُوبَةَ، وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ المَفْرُوضَةَ، وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ» قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ أَزِيدُ عَلَى هَذَا، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake-: Yakwamba mtu wa kijijini alimjia Mtume -Rehema na Amani ziwe juu yake- Akasema: Nijulishe juu ya amali ambayo nikiifanya nitaingia peponi. Akasema: "Umuabudu Mwenyezi Mungu na wala usimshirikishe na chochote, na usimamishe swala na utoe zaka ya wajibu, na ufunge mwezi wa ramadhani" Akasema: Namuapa yule ambaye nafsi yangu iko mkononi mwake, sitozidisha zaidi ya hapo, basi alipoondoka, akasema Mtume -Rehema na Amani ziwe juu yake-: "Atakayependezwa na kumtazama mtu miongoni mwa watu wa peponi basi na amtazame huyu".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A Bedouin came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Direct me to a deed that will make me enter Paradise if I do it. He said: "Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the prescribed prayer, pay the obligatory Zakah, and fast Ramadān." He said: By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, I will not do more than this. When he left, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is pleased to look at a man from the dwellers of Paradise, let him look at this."
Kumpwekesha Mwenyezi Mungu kwa ibada ndio jambo la kwanza ambalo huanzwa nalo katika kufikisha ujumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu.
Kutosheka na mafunzo ya wajibu pekee kwa mgeni katika Uislamu.
Kufikisha ujumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu lazima kuanza ngazi kwa ngazi.
Pupa ya mtu kujifunza swala la dini yake.
Muislamu akitosheka na ibada za wajibu pekee basi atafaulu, lakini hii haimaanishi kufanya uzembe katika ibada; kwa sababu sunna hukamilisha mapungufu ya faradhi.
Kuzitaja baadhi ya ibada pasina zingine, ni dalili ya umuhimu wake na himizo juu ya ibada hizo, na haimaanishi kuwa hakuna zingine zaidi yake.
