Blessings Bestowed on Believers            265


          bears, Ibrahim and Ishaq. Most certainly your Lord is Knowing, Wise.'
          (Surah Yusuf, 6)
           Allah Has Given Believers Everything
           They Have Asked For
           He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried to
          number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Man is indeed
          wrongdoing, ungrateful. (Surah Ibrahim, 34)
           If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count
          them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nahl, 18)
           Allah Has Made Believers' Houses
           Places of Safety and Peace
           Allah has made your houses places of rest for you and made houses
          for you out of cattle hides which are light for you to carry both when
          you are travelling and when you are staying in one place. And from
          their wool and fur and hair you obtain clothing and carpets and
          household utensils for a time. (Surat an-Nahl, 80)
           Allah Sends Down Peace and Reassurance
           Into the Hearts of Believers
           Truly We have granted you a clear victory, so that Allah may forgive
          you your earlier errors and any later ones and complete His blessing
          upon you, and guide you on a Straight Path. And so that Allah may
          help you with a mighty help. It is He Who sent down serenity into the
          hearts of the believers thereby increasing their faith with more faith –
          the legions of the heavens and the earth belong to Allah. Allah is All-
          Knowing, All-Wise – so that He may admit the men and women of the
          believers into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in
          them timelessly, for ever, and erase their bad actions from them; and in
          Allah's sight that is a mighty victory. (Surat al-Fath, 1-5)
           Believers are the Heirs of the Earth
           Musa said to his people, 'Seek help in Allah and be steadfast. The
          earth belongs to Allah. He bequeathes it to any of His servants He
          wills. The successful outcome is for those who guard against evil.'
          (Surat al-A'raf, 128)
           He bequeathed their land, their houses and their wealth to you, and
