"O you who believe! <b>Answer Allah (by obeying Him)</b> <b>and (His) Messenger when he calls you</b>
[b]to that which will give you life[/b], and know that Allah comes in between a person and his heart (i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything). And verily to Him you shall (all) be gathered." (Quran 8:24)
22. Answer the Messenger when he calls you (it implies invites you to Islam and obeying Allah= you will be granted life (because in such case when you respond to what Allah Sent the Messenger to call for, instead of being dead, a living dead creature, you will be alive. Alive because your heart will be aware of Allah's Presence, alive because you will be in harmony with the universe. Worshiping Allah Keeps your heart alive. Thus, when you respond to the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam when he calls you, you will be alive).

Bismillah
"And ordain for us good in this world, and in the Hereafter. Certainly we have turned unto You." He said: (As to) My Punishment I afflict therewith whom I will and <b>My Mercy embraces all things. That (Mercy) I shall ordain for those who are pious and give Zakah
; </b> and those who believe in Our Signs;*[b]Those who follow the Messenger (Muhammad[/b]), the unlettered Prophet whom they find written in the Torah and the Gospel with them, <b>he enjoins upon them that which is virtuous and forbids them that which is evil; he allows them all that is good and forbids for them all that is foul. And he releases them from their burdens and from the shackles that were upon them</b>.
<b>So it is those who believe in him, honour him, assist him and follow the light which has been sent down with him
</b>, it is they who will be successful." (Quran 7:156-157)
Follow the Messenger of Allah salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam and you will:
1. Be eligible for Allah's Mercy.
2. Learn what is virtuous and what is evil.
3. Enjoy the <i>Halal </i> what is made legitimate according to his instrucitions and teach them what is made haram (illegitimate) of khabaeth.
I would like to elaborate on the word khabaeth here. Khabaeth is the plural of khabeeth that is derived from khabath. Khabath is used for example to describe the iron waste when it is exposed to fire for processing purposes. Khabath is waste, malicious, evil, being cunning, etc.
4.Be released from burdens.
5. Be released of the shackles which is a metaphore of shirk (taking associates with Allah) and what it brings upon the person of a demeaned position, bad soul, heavy chest.
