Difference between Hadith and Sunnah
The term Sunnah is applied to the guidance which is well-established in a general sense in all of the affairs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), meaning his path, his methodology and his way. Hadith refers to every incident that is attributed to the Prophet, even if he only did it once in his life, and even if it was narrated from him by only one person.57,331- 2,035

Hope and Fear in Islam
What is required of the Muslim is not to despair of mercy and not to feel safe from punishment; rather they should be in a state between hope and fear, because Allah has condemned those who feel safe from punishment and has condemned those who despair of His mercy.12,894What Will Happen on the Day Of Resurrection?
Sequence of events on the Day of Resurrection: 1- When the people are resurrected and rise from their graves, they will go to the land of gathering. 2- When they have stood for a long time, Allah will first bring forth for His Prophet his cistern to which people will come. 3- Then the people will stand for a long time, then will come the great intercession – the intercession of the Prophet who will ask Allah to hasten the reckoning for all people. 4- After that will come the examination of deeds. 5- Then after the examination will come the reckoning. 6- After the first reckoning, the records of deeds will fly [to the people]. 7- Then after the reading of the records, there will be a further reckoning to leave no room for excuses and establish proof by reading what is in the records. 8- Then after that the balance will be set up, and the things that we have mentioned will be weighed. 9- Then after the balance, people may be divided into groups and categories, with people of similar calibre being grouped together. 10- Then after that, Allah will cause darkness to prevail just before people reach Hell – we seek refuge with Allah. 11- Then the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) will come first, and will be standing on the Sirat. 12- The first to enter Paradise, after the Prophet will be the poor among the Muhajirun and the poor among the Ansar, then the poor among the Ummah.25,165- 9,248

Authenticity of Du’a When Looking at the Mirror
1- The hadith about making du’a when looking in the mirror is weak in all its isnads and all of them except the hadith of Anas are extremely weak. The view that it is hasan is not correct because all its isnads are flimsy. 2- The du’a has been soundly narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in general terms, without any mention of looking in the mirror.28,423
