<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Part of the believer’s creed is that he should know that the hearts of the slaves are between two Fingers of the Most Merciful, and He turns them as He wills.<br>
2) One should not rely on his deeds alone and be deceived by them. Rather, he must ask Allah Almighty for guidance and firmness on the right path.<br>
3) Believing that Allah Almighty is the one Who controls the hearts, inspires awe of Him in both secret and public, for the last deeds are those that count.
