pure faith that leads to victory. This mysterious truth,

“O you who believe! When you meet a force, be firm,
and call Allah in remembrance much (and often), that you
may prosper.”(Surat al-Anfal,8:45)

30 Reciting The Revelations of Allah

As expressed in the 7th verse of the 73rd Surah
(al- Muzzammil), there are prolonged occupations
in the day time for the believers. Surely, these
occupations are for the benefit of religion even if they
may require the believers to function in irreligious
environments, becoming involved in profane
societies.

Even in the midst of these worldly affairs the
believers keep their faith in Allah and never lose sight
of the spiritual point of view.

“Men whom neither trade nor sale can divert from the
remembrance of Allah, nor from regular prayer, nor from the
practice of regular charity. Their (only) fear is for the Day
when men’s hearts and eyes will overturned (from horror)”
(Surat an-Nur, 24:37)
