Attributes of Believers in the Qur'an 159

Accordingly your Lord will pick you out and teach you the true
meaning of events and perfectly fulfil His blessing on you as well as on
the family of Ya'qub as He fulfilled it perfectly before upon your fore-
bears, Ibrahim and Ishaq. Most certainly your Lord is Knowing, Wise.'
(Surah Yusuf, 6)
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble to

Among the believers there are men who have been true to the con-

way at all. So that Allah might recompense the truthful for their truth-

Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Ahzab, 23-24)
Say to the desert Arabs who lagged behind: "Ye shall be summoned
