<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The individual must concern himself with what benefits him in this life and the Hereafter, as well as keep himself away from what he does not need and, rather, may cause him harm. Doing so reflects the excellence of one’s commitment to Islam.<br>
2) The believer must be mindful of his conduct, statements, and actions. He must internalize the feeling that Allah is watching him and that He knows his private undisclosed affairs. As a result, he will make sure that Allah sees him doing only what pleases Him.
