Preserving, sanctifying, and honoring the sacred symbols of Islam, such as al-Masjid al-Haraam (the Sacred Mosque), the noble Qur'an, the noble Messengers, prayers, and the rest of the acts and places of worship, etc. 3. Refraining from rejecting Allah's commands and prohibitions based on one's personal desires, false interpretation, blind imitation, or man-made laws.
