Only Through Allah's Mercy



                                                Narrated Abu Hurayrah radhiallaahu anhu:

Allah's messenger salallahu alayhi wassalam said, "The deeds of anyone of you will not save you [from the (hell) Fire]." They said, "Even you (will not be saved by your deeds), O Allah's messenger?" He said, "No, even I (will not be saved) unless and until Allah bestows His Mercy on me and protects me with His Grace. Therefore, do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and worship Allah in the forenoon and in the afternoon and during a part of the night, and always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course whereby you will reach your target (Paradise)." [sahih Al-Bukhari 8/6463]
