BLESSINGS BESTOWED ON BELIEVERS




                 BLESSINGS BESTOWED ON BELIEVERS IN THE WORLD

                 Allah Gives Them a Good Life in the World Too
                 Anyone who acts rightly, male or female, being a believer, We will
               give them a good life and We will recompense them according to the
               best of what they did. (Surat an-Nahl, 97)
                 Allah Unifies Believers' Hearts
                 Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate. Re-
               member Allah's blessing to you when you were enemies and He joined
               your hearts together so that you became brothers by His blessing. You
               were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire and He rescued you from it.
               In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you
               will be guided. (Surah Al 'Imran, 103)
                 If they intend to deceive you, Allah is enough for you. It is He Who
               supported you with His help and with the believers, and unified their
               hearts. Even if you had spent everything on the earth, you could not
               have unified their hearts. But Allah has unified them. He is Almighty,
               All-Wise. O Prophet! Allah is enough for you, and for the believers
               who follow you. O Prophet! Spur on the believers to fight. If there are
               twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred;
               and if there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of
               those who disbelieve, because they are people who do not understand.
               (Surat al-Anfal, 62-65)

                 Believers' Companions
                 Whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger will be with those whom
               Allah has blessed: the Prophets and the loyal persons, the martyrs and
               the righteous. What excellent company such people are! (Surat an-
               Nisa', 69)
                 Allah Has Chosen Believers
                 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-
