85. Factors that Ensure the Goodness of the Muslim Nation

270.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لا تَزالُ اُمّتي بِخَيْرٍ ما تَحابُّوا وأدَّوا الأمانَةَ ، واجْتَنَبوا الحَرامَ، وقَرَوُا الضَّيْفَ ، وأقامُوا الصَّلاةَ ، وآتَوا الزَّكاةَ .¹

270.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'My nation will continue to thrive as long as they love each other, deliver the trust, refrain from the forbidden, respect the guest, maintain the prayer, and pay the alms-tax (zakat).' ²

271.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لا تَزالُ هذِهِ الاُمّةُ تَحْتَ يَدِ اللَّهِ وفي كَنَفِهِ ما لَم يُداهِنْ قُرّاؤها اُمَراءَها ، ولَم يُزَكِّ عُلَماؤها فُجّارَها ، وما لَم يُهَنِّ خِيارُها أشْرارَها ، فإذا فَعَلوا ذلكَ رَفَع اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ سَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ جَبابِرَتَهُمْ .³

271.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'This nation will continue to remain under the supervision and protection of Allah as long as its reciters do not flatter the rulers, its scholars do not declare the vicious ingrates as innocents, and the good people do not approve of the evil ones; if they do that, Allah will take away His supervision and give reign to their oppressors over them.' ⁴
