It is truly a sign of auspiciousness for a society which has a pleasant atmosphere for its people to live with peace and prosperity in it. In a materialistic environment only amassing of maximum wealth and living a luxurious life is thought the main source of pleasures, but unlike to epicures and other carnal pleasures, Islam sets out totally different criterions for a real inner satisfaction and delightedness. The criterions laid down by Islam are spiritual and moral rather than to be erotic and fleshly. Allah’s Messenger, be peace and blessings upon him, has given numerous contrivance to transform such a blessed society. Here are some of the teachings of Muhammad, the last and final Messenger of Allah, be peace and blessings upon him. He is reported to have said:
“My Lord (Allah) gave me Nine Commandments and I enjoin these upon you.
1: He commanded me to persist with sincerity in private and public life.
2: I should establish justice whether I am pleased with someone or angry.
3: I should be thrifty both in riches and poverty.
4: I should forgive those who have wronged me.
5: I should give them who deprive me.
6: I should keep connected with those who have severed their ties with me.
7: My silence should be for reflection and contemplating.
8: My utterance should be with remembrance of Allah.
9: My stare and look should be for learning a lesson”
