Here is the fiqh collected from the Tafsir of the Quran and from the interpretation and summary of the Hadiths. Remember, people are not free from error. But Allah’s words and His Messenger’s words definitely free from error and mistake. Verily, we believe that Allah Ta’ala and His Messenger (peace be upon him) told the truth. We love Allah and His Messenger very much by words and works than in our life. Insha Allah, we will never abandon Islam until we meet with Allah Ta’ala.
1. Those who set up Partner with Allah and die while they are Al-Mushrikun (those who worship others along with Allah) or disbelievers, then Allah surely never forgive them in the Hereafter.
Allah Ta’ala said: “Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.” [Surah An-Nisa, verse 48]

4. There is Much superiority for Muslim scholars.
As narrated by Abu Umamah Al-Bahili (RA); Two men were mentioned before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). One of them a worshiper, and the other a scholar. So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like my superiority over the least of you.” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Indeed Allah, His Angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths – even the ant in his hole, even the fish – makes dua of the welfare upon the one who teaches the people to do good.” [Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, Hadith No. 2685]

[جامع الترمذي ، رقم الحديث: ٢٦٥٤]
9. Those who prioritize the religion that is displeasing to Allah on His chosen religion (Islam) and consider the believers astray are the worst people. And of course, they are cursed.

They believe in Jibt and Taghut (i.e., magic, Satan, and all the false deities) and say to the disbelievers that they are better guided as regards the way than the believers (Muslims).

As often as their skins are roasted through, I shall change them for other skins that they may taste the punishment. Truly, Allah is Ever Most Powerful, All-Wise.“ [Surah An-Nisa, verse no. 56]

21. To render trust (Amanat) and do justice to people are two essential tasks for everyone.

[سورة النساء ، الآية ٥٨]
22. It is an essential act to obey the leader and follow his words only in good deeds and welfare works.

That is better and best in the result.” [Surah An-Nisa, verse no. 59]
،
قال الله تعالى: يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡۖ فَإِن تَنَٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِي شَيۡءٖ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلًا

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ مِمَّا يَلْحَقُ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ وَحَسَنَاتِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ عِلْمًا عَلَّمَهُ وَنَشَرَهُ وَوَلَدًا صَالِحًا تَرَكَهُ وَمُصْحَفًا وَرَّثَهُ أَوْ مَسْجِدًا بَنَاهُ أَوْ بَيْتًا لِابْنِ السَّبِيلِ بَنَاهُ أَوْ نَهْرًا أَجْرَاهُ أَوْ صَدَقَةً أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ مَالِهِ فِي صِحَّتِهِ وَحَيَاتِهِ يَلْحَقُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهِ

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying: “If anyone pursues a path in search of knowledge, Allah will thereby make easy for him a path to Paradise; and whose action makes him slow, his genealogy will not speed him up.” [Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 3643]
,
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَسْلُكُ طَرِيقًا يَطْلُبُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا إِلاَّ سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقَ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ ”
[سنن أبي داؤد ، رقم الحديث: ٣٦٤٣]
25. Hypocrite people do not want to obey Allah’s command, and they also dislike following the directions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
Allah Ta’ala said: “And when it is said to them: ‘Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger’, you see the hypocrites turn away from you with aversion.” [Surah An-Nisa, verse no. 61]
،
۞ قال الله تعالى: وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ رَأَيۡتَ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنكَ صُدُودٗا
[سورة النساء ، الآية ٦١]
26. No one can be a true believer until he does not accept any decision of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) sincerity.
Allah Ta’ala said: “But no, by your Lord, they will not (truly) believe, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit with full submission.” [Surah An-Nisa, verse no. 65]

But whoever wanders off in concern over different worldly issues, Allah will not care in which of these valleys he is destroyed.” [Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 257]
,
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ “ مَنْ جَعَلَ الْهُمُومَ هَمًّا وَاحِدًا هَمَّ آخِرَتِهِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ هَمَّ دُنْيَاهُ وَمَنْ تَشَعَّبَتْ بِهِ الْهُمُومُ فِي أَحْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يُبَالِ اللَّهُ فِي أَىِّ أَوْدِيَتِهَا هَلَكَ ” .
[سنن إبن ماجة ، رقم الحديث ٢٥٧]
28. Another meaning of the disappearance of knowledge is that scholars will not act according to religious knowledge.
It was narrated that Ziyad bin Labid (RA) said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned something and said: “That will be at the time when knowledge disappears.” I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! how will knowledge disappear when we read the Qur’an and teach it to our children, until the Day of Resurrection?’ He (peace be upon him) said: “May your mother be bereft of you, Ziyad! I thought that you were the wisest man in Al- Madinah. Is it not the case that these Jews and Christians read the Tawrah and the Injil, but they do not act upon anything of what is in them?” [Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 4048]
,
عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، قَالَ ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ ” ذَاكَ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ ” . قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ يَذْهَبُ الْعِلْمُ وَنَحْنُ نَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَنُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَيُقْرِئُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ” ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ زِيَادُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَرَاكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ رَجُلٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَوَلَيْسَ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنْجِيلَ لاَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِمَّا فِيهِمَا ” .
[سنن إبن ماجة ، رقم الحديث ٤٠٤٨]
29. Those who obey Allah and the Messenger will be with the best people in the Hereafter.
Allah Ta’ala said: “Those who obey Allah and the Messenger will be with those whom Allah has blessed: the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous. What excellent companions they are!” [Surah An-Nisa, verse no. 69]
،
۞ قال الله تعالى: وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ وَٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءِ وَٱلصَّٰلِحِينَۚ وَحَسُنَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ رَفِيقٗا
[سورة النساء ، الآية ٦٩]
30. Every believer should take precautions all time about enemies of Islam.

۞ قال الله تعالى: يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ خُذُواْ حِذۡرَكُمۡ فَٱنفِرُواْ ثُبَاتٍ أَوِ ٱنفِرُواْ جَمِيعٗا

31. If you recite the Qur’an and act according to the Qur’an then the Qur’an will intercede for you to Allah, otherwise, the Qur’an will testify against you.
Abu Malik at-Ash’ari (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Cleanliness is half of faith and Al-Hamdu Lillah (all praise and gratitude is for Allah alone) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and Al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one’s faith) and Patience is a brightness and the Holy Qur’an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves.” [Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 4048]

32. Those who sacrifice their lives and wealth for the reward of the Hereafter, let them fight against Allah’s enemies in the path of Allah to gain His pleasure.
