FAITH

Abu Huraira reported:                     
One day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) appeared before  the public that a man came to him and said: Prophet of Allah, (tell me)  what is Iman. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm  your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Messengers  and that you affirm your faith in the Resurrection hereafter. He (again)  said: Messenger of Allah, (tell me) what does al-Islam signify. He (the  Holy Prophet) replied: Al-Islam signifies that you worship Allah and do  not associate anything with Him and you establish obligatory prayer and  you pay the obligatory poor-rate (Zakat) and you observe the fast of  Ramadan. He (the inquirer) again said: Messenger of Allah, what does  al-Ihsan imply? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you worship Allah as  if you are seeing Him, and in case you fail to see Him, then observe  prayer (with this idea in your mind) that (at least) He is seeing you.  He (the inquirer ) again said: Messenger of Allah, when would there be  the hour (of Doom)? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: The one who is asked  about it is no better informed than the inquirer. I, however, narrate  some of its signs (and these are): when the slave-girl will give birth  to he master, when the naked, barefooted would become the chiefs of the  people - these are some of the signs of (Doom). (Moreover) when the  shepherds of the black (camels) would exult themselves in buildings,  this is one of the signs of (Doom). (Doom) is one of the five  (happenings wrapped in the unseen) which no one knows but Allah. Then he  (the Messenger of Allah) recited (the verse):" Verily Allah! with Him  alone is the knowledge of the hour and He it is Who sends (down the  rain) and knows that which is in the wombs and no person knows  whatsoever he shall earn tomorrow, and a person knows not in whatsoever  land he shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware. He (the narrator, Abu  Huraira) said: Then the person turned back and went away. The Messenger  of Allah (ﷺ) said: Bring that man back to me. They (the Companions of  the Prophet present there) went to bring him back, but they saw nothing  there. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: he was Gabriel, who  came to teach the people their religion.

We should at least understand, digest and put into practice what the story tell us about.
May Allah help us, Amen.
