            pleasure and does whatever is necessary to help him. He will never
            make that person feel obliged. Allah tells all believers to be patient
            with others, for it is one of their most beautiful character traits:

                 O you who believe, be steadfast. Be supreme in steadfastness
                 and firm on the battlefield, and fear [and respect] Allah, so that,
                 hopefully, you will be successful. (Surah Al 'Imran, 200)



                                   To Be Faithful


                 One other characteristic that attracts the love of other people is
            faithfulness. Allah informs the believers that He will reward them
            for their faithfulness. For this reason, all believers implement this
            characteristic without reserve. As Allah tells us in the Qur'an:

                 So that Allah might recompense the truthful for their truth and
                 punish the hypocrites, if He wills, or turn toward them. Allah is
                 Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Ahzab, 24)
                 Even under the most difficult of circumstances, believers will
            never compromise their faithfulness toward Allah and the believers.
            Allah mentions the Prophet Moses (as) and his young followers as
            role models for all believers:

                 No one had faith in Moses, except for a few of his people, out of
                 fear that Pharaoh and the elders would persecute them. Pharaoh
                 was high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate.
                 Moses said: "O my people. If you believe in Allah, then put
                 your trust in Him, if you are Muslims." (Surah Yunus, 83-84)
                 Throughout history, the believers and prophets have led lives
            whereby they have been killed, lost their wealth or esteem, and have
            been accused of various misdeeds. The believers, who have never
            left each other, as a result of their love for Allah and their fear, re-
