Given below is
a sample of some extracts showing the
importance of following the Islamic laws
Dua no 1 Then He Commanded us to do certain

any pretext or excuse for disobedience

Dua no 12 O You, obedience to Whom is
salvation to those who obey, bless Muhammad
Dua no 17 And this is not because I possess
any grace in Your sight, but because of Your

allotted me in those sins which You have
forbidden me to commit?

Thy Book, Thy bounds, Thy laws,and
the norms of Thy Messenger's Sunna…..
Give me a preservation which will bring me
close to dread of Thee,cut me off from

Thee,
You forbid him from disobeying You
and he disobeyed Your Command and did what
was forbidden by You ….Therefore, make me
live a pure life that would include in
itself what I desire and would achieve what
I love, in such a manner that I may not
commit what You have forbidden.
