[17]. While warnings might not always provoke positive thoughts or feelings, they often serve to spare us from unnecessary hardships and pain. In fact, the act of warning others is actually a demonstration of familial love and care for the people. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned us of associating partners with Allāh in worship, and sins, of murder, the danger associated with sexual immorality, unkind words that is, speech that is destructive and not redemptive toward others, ungodliness, rather to live a sensible and righteous life before Allāh, he warned us of stealing, and, instead, advised to work for the things that we need in this life. He warned us of the threat that the devil poses to the people. They must resist the devil and draw near to Allāh. The Muslim highest allegiance must be to Allāh and Allāh alone. In keeping with the last warning, The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ addressed us to humble ourselves before Allāh and to do nothing that is motivated by selfishness, but rather in humility considering others as more important, and our need to submit to Allāh and humble ourselves before Him, so that we might be exalted by Allāh. Allāh gives grace to the humble ones. No matter what situation we find ourselves in, the right response is always humility before Allāh.
[18]. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Allāh created Adam in His image, and he was sixty cubits tall 'about 37 meters tall'!. When He created him he said, ‘Go and greet that group of angels who are sitting and listen to how they greet you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your descendents.’ So he said, ‘Al-salaamu ‘alaykum (peace be with you),’ and they said, ‘Al-salaamu ‘alayka wa rahmatullaah (Peace be with you and the mercy of Allāh.’ So they added (the words) ‘wa rahmatullaah.’ Everyone who enters Paradise will be in the form of Adam, but mankind continued to grow shorter until now.” From this statement of the Prophet we learn that it is proven that Allāh has an image, in a manner that befits Him, may He be glorified and exalted. His image is one of His attributes which cannot be likened to the attributes of created beings, just as His essence cannot be likened to their essence.
