The answer

In summary, one must comply with God's commands and avoid His prohibitions. This is achieved by staying away from forbidden acts, diligently observing obligatory duties, drawing closer to God through supererogatory acts, and guarding the tongue from slips. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, showed Mu'adh, may God be pleased with him, the keys to entering Paradise, which are: worshipping God without associating partners with Him, establishing prayer, giving zakat, fasting Ramadan, and performing the Hajj pilgrimage. Then he guided him to the doors of goodness: fasting, charity, and praying in the depths of the night, and he recited God's saying: "Their sides forsake their beds; they call upon their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend. And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do." Then he clarified that the head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is prayer, and the peak of its hump is jihad. In conclusion, he emphasized the importance of guarding the tongue, saying: "And are people thrown into the Hellfire on their faces except for the harvest of their tongues?!"
