A Light in the World and Treasure in the Hereafter

Hazrat Abu Zar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports, “I once asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), ‘O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), please give me some advice.’ Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, ‘Hold firm onto taqwa, for it is the head (highest) of all deeds.’ I then said, ‘O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), please give me more advice.” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, ‘Hold firm onto the recitation of the Qur’aan Majeed, for it is a light for you in this world and a treasure for you in the Hereafter.’” ^[1]
