One day revelation was coming to him, he faced the
Qiblah, raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah! Increase us,
do not diminish us. Favor us, do not withhold from us,
make us pleased and be pleased with us.’ He SAW said:
‘Ten Ayah were revealed to me, whoever abides by them
shall enter Paradise (and they are): ‘Successful indeed
are the believers…’ until the completion of ten Ayat
(23:1-10).” Jami at-Tirmidhi Vol. 5, Book 44, Hadith 3173

18. Let's evaluate our selves
Am I sure? Yes No mostly
to some
extent
I constantly try to pray Salah with Khushu.
I try to abstain from vain, useless tasks.
I try to purify myself.
I try to take care of all requirements of Haya?
I believe that fulfilling promise is a requirement
of faith.
I try to ponder on the logical reasoning present
in our soul for faith
I try to excel and run to do good.
I sometime neglect Allah’s ayahs because of
arrogance.
