The Journey to Allah
By al-Hafiz Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali. Bukhari records on the authority of
Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (pbuh) said, 'Your actions alone will not
save any of you.' They asked, 'Messenger of Allah, not even you?', He
replied, 'Not even me, unless, Allah were to envelop me in His mercy. Be
firm; steadfast and balanced; and journey [to Allah] in the beginning
of the day, the end of the day, and a portion of the latter part of the
night. Moderation, moderation! Through this you will attain your goal!"
He also recorded this hadith in another place with the wording, 'This
religion is easy, none makes it hard upon himself except that it
overwhelms him; therefore be firm, steadfast, and balanced; upon which
have glad tidings! Seek help in this by journeying [to Allah] at the
beginning of the day, at the end of the day, and a portion of the latter
part of night.'
