A Perfect Muslim
102. And, when he was old enough to
walk with him, he said: “O my son! I
have seen in a dream that I am
slaughtering you (offer you in sacrifice
to Allah), so look what you think!” He
said: “O my father! Do that which you
are commanded, if Allah wills, you
shall find me of the patient ones”
103. Then, when they had both
submitted themselves (to the Will
of Allah), and he had laid him
prostrate on his forehead;
104. And We called out to him: “O
Abraham!”
105. “You have fulfilled the dream!”
Verily! Thus do We reward the good-
doers.

13. You Don't Need To Look Much Further Than The Islam
 Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased
with him) came to the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) with some
written material he had got from one of the
people of the Book.
 He read it to the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him), and he got
angry and said:
 “Are you confused (about your religion), O
son of al-Khattaab? By the One in Whose
hand is my soul, I have brought it (the
message of Islam) to you clear and pure. Do
not ask them about anything, lest they tell
you something true and you disbelieve it, or
they tell you something false and you believe
it. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if
Moosa were alive, he would have no option
but to follow me.”(Ahmad :14736 )

14. Comprehensive Guidance
 Salman (may Allah be pleased with
him) said that one of the idolaters said
to him, while they were making fun of
him: “I see that your companion (the
Prophet, (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) is teaching you
everything, even how to relieve
yourselves?”
 He said: “Yes indeed. He has ordered us
not to face the Qiblah (prayer
direction) nor to clean ourselves with
our right hands, and not to be content
with anything less than three stones,
which are not to include any excrement
or bones.”(Sunan Ibn Majah Chapter
No: 2, The Chapters of Purification and
its Sunnah)
