730. 1.
Prophet
Muhammad (p): All worship has its initial fervour. Then,
the fervour weakens. Whoso ever’s fervour of worship (according
to my path) remains strong, he is guided and whosoever deviates
from my path, he errs and goes astray. His deeds are all wasted.
Elaborating on these instructions, Prophet Muhammad (p) said:
I say my prayers and I sleep and I observe fast and terminate
my fast (at its proper time) and I laugh and I weep, so anyone
who deviates from my ways and my path is not in my fold.
The Prophet (p) added that death should suffice as a constant
warning. Firm conviction must be enough for contentment and worship
must be sufficient to keep one occupied.
