Superiority of Monotheism

1. Narrated Abu Dhar (RA: may allah be please with him): Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said that Allah said: He woh came with a good deed, its reward will be ten like that or even more. and he who comes with vice, his reward will be only one like that, or I can forgive him. He who draws close to Me a hand's span, I will draw close to him an arm's length. And whoever draws near Me an arm's length, I will draw near him a fathom's length. And whoever comes to Me walking, I will go to him running. And whoever faces Me with sins nearly as great as the earth, I will meet him with forgiveness nearly as great as that, provided he does not worship something with me.
   
   (This Hadith is sound and reported by Muslim, Ibn Maja and Ahmed in his Musnad).
   
   
2. Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri (RA) Allah's Messanger (Peace be upon him) said: None of you will have argued for his right in the world more vehemently then the believers who will do with their Lord about their brethren who were admitted into Hell. The Prophet (peace be upon him) added: They will say: O Lord! our brethren used to offer prayers with us, observe fast with us and perform pilgrimage (Hajj) with us. But You cast them into fire. The Prophet (peace be upon him) further said: Allah will say: Go and bring out whoever you know from among them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The believers will come to them and recognize them by face. some of them will be those the fire would have seized up to half of their shanks and some of them upto their ankles. They will bring them and say: O Lord! We have taken out those for whom you gave us order. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah will say: Bring out whoever has in heart any belief weighing a Dinar (a coin). Then He will say: Take out whoever has in his heart the belief weighing half a Dinar until He will say: Take out whoever has in his heart the belief that equals the weight of an atom.
   
   (This Hadith is sound and reported by Nasa''i and Ibn Majah)
   
   After Narrating this Hadith, Abu Said said: He who does not accept it as true should read this verse:
   
   "Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin."
   {Quran 4: 48}
