MODEL BEHAVIOUR AND CONDUCT
Patience: sabr
Abu Hurairah related that Rasulullah[saw] said:
A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah[swt] than a
weak believer, and there is good in both. Be eager for what benefits you,
seek Allah's[swt] help, and do not be too weak to do so. If any
misfortune befalls any of you, do not say:" If I had done this, or that,
something else would have happened," but say instead, " Allah[swt]
decrees, and He does what He wishes." for saying "If I had done this or
that" opens the door for the acts of the Devil.
[Muslim]

Intentions
Ibn Abbas narrated that rasulullah[saw] said:
Whoever intends to do something good is rewarded by Allah[swt]
for one good measure of merit for it. If he then carries it out,
Allah[swt] rewards him from ten to seven hundred times. Whoever intends
to do something wrong, but does not do it, is also rewarded by Allah[swt]
one full merit for it. If he then carries it out, he is accounted with
only one bad deed.
[Bukhari, Muslim]

the way I understand it, it is not just knwoledge of the deen,
bec islam in its most ideal sense, IMHO, encourages the seeking of
knowledge, period; and is not knowledge of everything going to enhance
our appreciation of Islam, as being the right path? The way I understand
it, if you do physics, and you learn of physical principles, you learn to
appreciate the power of Allah[swt]; similarly, as a student of the
sciences, in biology, everday that I learn more abt the minute signals
that different parts of our bodies send to one another, which we just
take fro granted, is another indication to me of the power of
Allah[swt];the complexity, IMHO, is too great to be explained simply by
evolution, which is what the atheists cling to; this is just one example,
but you get my point, I trust? It is sais action is judged based on
intention; if in your daily life, you are searching for knowledge, aren't
you doing a form of ibada( worship) as well if you are doing it with the
sole imtention of plaeasing Him?

PERSONAL CHARACTER
Intentions
It is narrated by Anas that Rasulullah[saw] said:
If anyone intends to seek blessings of the hereafter, Allah[swt]
gives contentment to his heart, takes care of all his affairs, and the
world comes to him submissively. But if someone intends to seek the
pleasure of this world, Allah[swt] puts poverty before him, and disorder
in his affairs, yet only so much of worldly things as have been ordained
for him come to him.
[Abu Daud, Tirmidhi]

[Baihaqi]
