In Hadith Number 76 (Titmidhi), it was related on the authority of Nawwas Ibn Sam'an that the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, 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 wall, 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 Messenger, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, 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.''
