“What will save me from the Fire, and what will admit me to Paradise?”
The Messenger of Allah looked up at the sky, then lowered his head, then turned his face toward me and said:
“Though you have put your question concisely, you have asked something momentous and extensive. So understand well what I tell you:
“Worship Allah, associating nothing with Him.
“Establish the prescribed prayer.
ما يُنَجِّيني من النار؟ وما يدخلني الجنة؟
قال: فنظر رسول الله ﷺ إلى السماء، ثم نكس رأسه، ثم أقبل علي بوجهه، قال:
"لئن كنت أوجزت في المسألة؛ لقد أعظمت وأطولت، فاعقل عني إذاً:
اعبد الله لا تشرك به شيئاً.
وأقم الصلاة المكتوبة.
