The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'Allah has set forth
the following as a parable: there is a road that leads straight to the
destination. On either side of the road there is a wall in which there
are open doors with curtains hanging on them. From the remote end of
the road, a voice calls, 'Proceed straight and do not turn aside.'
Whenever someone intends to lift a curtain from the door another voice
calls from above, 'Beware! Do not lift the curtain, otherwise you will
be lured inside.'
The Prophet (peace be upon him) explained the parable by saying that
the straight path is Islam, the walls are the limits imposed by Allah,
the open doors are the things that he has prohibited, the voice which
calls from the end of the road is the Qur´an and the voice which calls
from above is Allah's monitor in the heart of every believer.
