Page 13 - The Moral Values of the Qur'an

in Allah’s way, doing good deeds, taking the prophet
as an example, obeying him, being attentive to the
rules of Allah etc.
“So fear Allah as much as you can; listen and obey and
spend in charity for the benefit of your own soul. Those
saved from the covetousness of their own souls, are the
ones that achieve prosperity.” (Surat at-Taghabun, 64:16)
“O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared,
and die not except in a state of Islam.” (Surat Aal-e-Imran,
3:102)

3 Destiny

Nothing in the universe is accidental. As it is
stated in the Qur’an: “He regulates all affairs” (Surat
ar-Ra’d, 13:2). In another verse it is said: “Not a leaf
falls but with His knowledge.” (Surat al-Anam, 6:59).
It is Allah Who creates and directs all the events; how
they will begin and how they will end. It is again
Allah Who determines every movement of every star
in the universe, every state of every living thing on
Earth, the way one will live, what one will say, what
one will encounter, as expressed in the verses:

“Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine
Preordainments of all things before their creation)” (Surat
al-Qamar, 54:49)
