It was narrated from 'Uqbah bin 'Amr, Abu Mas’ud, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Among the words that people learned from the earlier Prophets are: 'If you feel no shame, then do as you wish.’"
This is an analogy struck by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for the seeker of the Hereafter. For verily, Satan lies in wait on his path, and the soul along with its false hopes and desires are his helpers. Thus, if he awakens during his journey and purifies his intention in his deeds, he is safe from Satan and his forces, and from the bandits of the road and their aides. Then he is guided to the fact that traversing the path of the Hereafter is difficult, attaining the Hereafter is arduous, and it is not obtained by the slightest effort.

The terrifying dialogue recorded in Surah Al-Muddaththir (74:42-47) presents a chilling moment of accountability in the Hereafter. When the inhabitants of Paradise ask the inhabitants of the Fire, “What has caused you to enter Hell?” their multi-faceted response outlines a failure across life’s most essential duties: “We were not of those who prayed, nor did…
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated."
