 Forty Sayings of the Holy Prophet.

Hadhrat Salman(R.A) relates that he asked Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.S.)
about the forty ahadith regarding  which the holy Prophet said: "The one who 
memorizes them from my ummah will enter into jannah (paradise)." 

Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W.S.) said:

1. That you believe in One and the Only God with all His attributes.
2. And in the day of resurrection.
3. And the angels.
4. And the Divine   books.
5. And all the prophets of God.
6. And life hereafter.
7. And fate that the power of doing good and bad rests  with God.

8. And that you bear witness that there is no god but Allah, Who is worthy of all 
worship and that Mohammed (S.A.W.S.) is His true messenger. 

9. And to perform salaat with  perfect wadu on its prescribed time.
10.And  to pay Zakaat.
11.And to fast  during the month of Ramadan.
12.And to perform   Hajj if you have the wealth.
13.And you perform twelve rakaats of sunnat-e-Maukadah daily.(These twelve 
rakaats are: Two rakaats  before Fajr, four rakaats before and two
after the fardh of Zuhar, two rakaats after the Fardh of Maghrib  and two 
after the fardh of  Eshaa.)
