Do not associate anything with Allah


259
‘Ubādah ibn As-Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, that ‘Isa is the slave and Messenger of Allah, and His word which He communicated to Maryam, and a spirit from Him; and that Paradise is true and Hell is true, Allah will certainly admit him into Paradise, regardless of the deeds which he has done."



Explanation:



This Hadīth tells us that if a person utters the word of monotheism, grasps its meaning, and acts according to it; and bears witness that Muhammad is a slave of Allah and a Messenger from Him; and that ‘Isa is a slave of Allah and a Messenger from Him, and that he was created by saying 'Be,' and through Maryam; and that he declares Maryam innocent of the accusations leveled against her by the hostile Jews; and that he believes that the believers will enter Paradise and the disbelievers will enter Hell; and that dies in this state, he will enter Paradise, no matter which deeds he has performed.
