    Give good advice. Prophet Muhammad –peace be upon him said-: "The example of the persons abiding by God's orders and restrictions in comparison to those who violate them is like the example of passengers who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper deck while the others sat in the lower.
