How to stay blessed according to Islamic values?

1.  Clothing (Beard, loose clothes, not attractive, hijab ect).

2. Salaah - Prayer (saves from immorality and evil) and Zakaat (Nafl and Sunnah prayers and give charity).

3.  Voluntary Fast (Monday and Thursday).

4.  Do more good deeds.

5.  Keep your tongue moist in the remembrance of Allah.

- Istighfar. Astaghfirullah (I ask Allah forgiveness). At least 100 times a day.

- Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu, wa ash-hadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger).

- Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "There are two phrases that are light on the tongue but heavy on the scale of rewards and are dear to (Allah) the Gracious One.

Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Adheem (Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection).

The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "I recited four words three times after I left you and if these were to be weighed against what you have recited since morning these would outweigh them, and these words are: Subhanallah wa bihamdihi 'adada khalqihi wa rida' nafsihi wa zinata 'arshihi wa midada kalimatihi (hallowed be Allah and praise is due to Him to the extent of the number of His creation and to the extent of His pleasure and to the extent of the weight of His Throne and to the extent of ink used in recording words for His Praise).

6.  To maintain and remain in the condition of Wudhu (ablution).

7.  Good company.

8.  Try not to be alone.

9. Close the door from the distance. Don't even come close to Zina (fornication). Zina has many stages, why did you exchange the phone no. and email why did you reply the mail and message etc.

- Lower Your Gaze.
- Brothers do not wear tight jeans and shirts showing the chest.
- Don't wear attractive clothes.
- Sisters don't keep perfume, don't keep fringes (Tabarruj).

10. To constantly make dua that Allah makes it difficult to sin.

- O Allah make loved to us Iman (faith) believe in you and beautify it in our hearts and make detested for us/to us kufr (disbelief) and sin and transgression, make it hard for us, make it difficult for us, make it hated for us, create a barrier between us and that (sin). (This is also found in Dua Qunoot).

11. Ask Allah to protect us from shaytan.

Audho Billahi Minash shaitan nirrajim.

12. Preach. Call others to Islam.

13. Eat halal.

14. Speaking to elder people and visiting is also a means of protecting oneself from sin.
- Visiting the sick.
- Visiting the graveyard (Remember death).

15. What we hear and what we see needs to be governed so that it protects us from further sin.

16. an-Najaad (saviour from hellfire).
- Stay at home, go out for necessity.
- Cry over a sin, regret it.
- Cry for fear of Allah.
