In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"
Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

آ· DO YOU want to KNOW who a good PERSON is ?
Whoever is good with the creators: the true creator (i.e. Allah) and transitory creator (i.e. parents), is a good person and will be protected from hellfire. On the otherhand whoever is not good with them then he will be destroyed both in this world and in the hereafter.
Narrated by AbuHurayrah, "Allahs Messenger (pbuh) said: Let there be smeared with dust the nose of the person in whose presence I am mentioned, and he does not invoke blessing upon me. And let the nose of that person be smeared with dust who has the opportunity to see the month of Ramadan and it comes to an end without his securing pardon for himself. And let the nose of the person be smeared with dust who finds alive his aged parents, both of them or one of them, and through them (by serving them) he does not enter Paradise(Al-Tirmidhi 927)
The Three top most critical fundamentals/deeds which will save you from hellfire:
آ· Blessings in broader view "The daily five times prayer (i.e. Salah)"
آ· Ramadhan fasts
آ· Sincere to parents(through service+money+good talk)
Many people have been trapped or become prey particularly when dealing with someone who apparently looks like a pious person or having religious degrees such as sheikh, murshad, Hafiz, Alim, Ameer Jamaat etc or having big beard or having marks on his forehead of worship etc. but at the end he may come out as a mushrik and a fraud.
Please note Mushrik (i.e. idolater) in the sense is that person actually worships his own soul and desires. Therefore he is joining God with his own desires. In other way he is a Muslim (i.e. surrendering) to his own evil desires but not a Muslim (i.e. surrendering) to real God(i.e. Allah)
As per Quran 25:43,"Have you ever seen the one who has taken his own desires as his god? Would you take the responsibility of guiding him?"
The five fundamentals of Islam will certainly guide you towards the right path if you are sincere and devoted. The reflections of these five fundamentals must be appeared in your actions & dealings and the least actions are doing good to parents and neighbors. Otherwise he will be not more than an apparent or so-called Muslim and most certainly he is nothing but a hypocrite.
Formula to find good person
If you are looking for good person then the formula is to find his relation with creators (i.e. with true God Allah) and transitory creator (i.e. his parents).
Please note a person may apparently be good with God (i.e. praying 5 times a day and fasting) but he may be bad with his own parents, actually that person is a hypocrite and is devoted towards showing-off and nothing more.
That particular person will never be good with anybody though it appears doing good deeds but actually he is the one who worship his own soul and certainly will never help you when you are actually in need of him.
On the contrary a good person is one who is sincere to God (i.e. through praying + fasts at least) and as-well as sincere to his own parents. (i.e. through service+money+good talk) and this particular person will be protected from hell fire.
Any person who is not good with his parents will be destroyed both in this world and in the hereafter. Please note and remember he will never be your friend. His talking about religion and piety is nothing but a show-off and hollow from inside. So dont bother about him but be cautious.
آ· SALAH: It is the best tool to Invoke salat on Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
We listen the call (adhan) daily five times a day for prayer and in each call there are two times the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is declared and a total of ten (10) times at least his name is mentioned before us. Whenever, we hear his name we must send blessings on him. The best method to send Allahs blessings are described in the daily prayers (i.e. Durood Ibrahim).
Narrated Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila, Kab bin Ujrah met me and said, "Shall I not give you a present I got from the Prophet?"
Abdur-Rahman said, "Yes, give it to me."
I said, "We asked Allahs Apostle saying, O Allah's Apostle! How should one (ask Allah to) send blessings on you, the members of the family, for Allah has taught us how to salute you (in the prayer)?
He said, Say: O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious.
O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent your Blessings on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious.' "(Bukhari 4.589)
The above Hadith shows the proper method for sending salat (i.e. blessings) on Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Saying short salat i.e. to say "sallallahu wa alaih wa sallam" is not the authentic form of sending salat on prophet. However, it is a common practice to send short salat immediately but it is not sufficient and you have not fulfilled the complete commandment. Please note it is compulsory to send full salat as mentioned in the above Hadith.
Please note how a person who sends short blessings on prophet and ignore daily prayer in which full salat is mentioned. Therefore we must pray daily five times a day at their regular stated times as adhan is being called.
Our ideal persons and "best model" must be none other than beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and prophet Ibrahim (alaih Salam). In Quran, Allah specifically stated "uswah" of these two prophets.
Allah says in the Quran regarding Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): "You have indeed, in the life of Rasool-Allah, the Best Model'" (Q33: 21) and regarding for prophet Ibrahim (pbuh): "You have an excellent example in Ibrahim (Abraham) and his companions". (Q 60:4)
We must believe in all prophets but best "uswah" for us are in these two prophets. We must copy and imitate them in religious duties and worship. Furthermore, this religion is called as "religion of Abraham". So, how can we ignore prophet Ibrahim (alaih-salam)? Prayer is the best tool to send blessings on both of them as mentioned in the above Hadith.
If someone says only short "salat" though it will be acceptable but actually he is doing injustice to prophet Ibrahim (alaih-salam). Saying short blessings are not the proper method of sending blessings and therefore, it is not fully acceptable because it is not complete. It will only be completed fully as recited in prayers.
Besides, Allah says in the glorious Quran that "The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves and his wives are as their mothers…" (Q33:6).
Also refer to Q9:120, Therefore Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) must be dearer to us than ourselves. And regarding Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Allah says in the Quran that he is the one who is the most nearest to prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) and a follower of him.
As per Quran 3:68, "Behold, the people who have the best claim to Abraham are surely those who follow him-as does this prophet and all who believe (in him)â€"and God is near unto the believer."
Therefore, this is the religion of Ibrahim (alaih-salam) and therefore we must send blessings on him as well. We must pray daily five times a day. Salah is one of the most critical fundamental of Islam, without this there will not be any prosperity neither in this world and nor in the hereafter.
With the above discussion invoking blessings on prophet Muhammad (pbuh) means to invoke blessings on Prophet Muhammad (swas) and as well as prophet Ibrahim (alaih-salam) and prayers are the best tool for this commandment.
There are some people who are good with the parents but they are not dedicative towards the real creator Allah. For those who are missing prayers, Allah says in the Quran 19:59, "But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts: soon then will they face Destruction."â€"
Furthermore, As per Quran 74:42-43, "What brought you into hell?" They will answer: "We did not use to offer the Salah (prayers),
آ· THE PURPOSE OF SALAH
Check whether it is just a physical exercise or stopping you from evil?
The main purpose of salah is to stop you from shameful and evil deeds. Check whether your prayers stopping from evil deeds or not, otherwise it is nothing more than a physical exercise and you will be a bad person.
As per Quran 29: 45, "Recite from this Book (Al-Qur'an) which has been revealed to you and establish Salah (Islamic prayers). Surely Salah keeps one away from shameful and evil deeds; and surely the remembrance of Allah (during your prayers and Allahs mention of your name in response to your prayers) is the greatest of all deeds, Allah knows what you do."
A person who is regularly praying but he is not good to his own parents and not good to his neighbors at least for that particular person Allah already told in the Quran that he actually does not believe in the day of judgement but he believes in his own desires and show-off. Allah used word "wail' for such persons in the glorious Quran. The immediate reflection of your prayers must be on your neighbors. You must be good with your neighbors and you should never hold simple assistance, otherwise you will not be a good person but a bad person and most likely be a hypocrite.
As per Quran 107:1-7, "Have you seen the one who denies the Day of Judgment? He it is who drives away the orphan with harshness and does not encourage the feeding of the poor. So woe to those who offer Salah (prayers), but are neglectful of their Salah (offer Prayers but disregard the very purpose of establishing Salah - to have the fear of Allah and be mindful to the needs of other people); those who make a show of piety and refuse to share the necessities of life."
As per Quran 4:142, "Surely the hypocrites try to deceive Allah, whereas, in fact, He has reverted their deception to them; when they stand up for Salah they stand reluctantly, merely to be seen by people and do not remember Allah but a little"
Our beloved prophet said: "He will not enter Paradise whose neighbor is not secure from his wrongful conduct". (Muslim hadith 74 by Abu Hurayrah)
Also refer to holy Quran, chapter 4: 36; which state as follows: "Serve Allah and join not any partners with Him: and do good to parents kinsfolk orphans those in need neighbors who are near neighbors who are strangers the companion by your side the way-farer (ye meet) and what your right hands possess: for Allah loveth not the arrogant the vainglorious";
The bottom line is he has to rectify his prayer and pray with full attention and devotion and stop doing shameful and evil deeds and pay the full amount of charity and don't deceive the God but fear Allah and know that Allah knows the secrets of our hearts.
Quran says you are the best nation because of enjoining good and forbid evil. Please note in this enjoining good the least is you must do good service to your parents and forbid evil i.e. the least is not to harm your neighbors irrespective of religion, cast and color.
As per Quran 3:110, "You are the best nation which has ever been raised for the guidance of mankind. You enjoin good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah. Had the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) believed, it would surely have been better for them; among them some are believers but most of them are transgressors."
