The 9 Commandments
The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: My Lord commanded me to adhere to nine things: He commanded me to:
- Be sincere when in private and in public,
- Be Just in times of peace and when in rage,
- Be moderate in poverty and in abundance,
- Be forgiving to him who wrongs me,
- Share with him who deprives me (of his bestowals),
- Acknowledge him who broke relations with me,
- Ponder over things while I am silent,
- Mention Him (God) whenever I speak, and
- Learn lessons from things that I see.
