THEY ESTEEM ALLAH ABOVE ALL THINGS
Those to whom people said, 'The people have gathered against
you, so fear them.' But that merely increased their faith and they
said, 'Allah is enough for us and the Best of Guardians.' (Qur'an,
3:173)
Some people set up equals to Allah, loving them as they should
love Allah. But those who believe have greater love for Allah. If
only you could see those who do wrong at the time when they see
the punishment, and that truly all strength belongs to Allah, and
that Allah is severe in punishment. (Qur'an, 2:165)
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble
to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of
Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the
unbounded favour of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills.
Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 5:54)
We responded to him and gave him Yahya, restoring for him his
wife's fertility. They outdid one another in good actions, calling out
to Us in yearning and in awe, and humbling themselves to Us.
(Qur'an, 21:90)
(There are man who are) not distracted by trade or commerce from
the remembrance of Allah and the performance of prayer and the
giving of alms; fearing a day when all hearts and eyes will be in
turmoil. (Qur'an, 24:37)

THEY SEEK NO OTHER GOD THAN ALLAH
It has been revealed to you and those before you: 'If you associate
others with Allah, your actions will come to nothing and you will
be among the losers.' No! Worship Allah and be among the
thankful. They do not measure Allah with His true measure. The
whole earth will be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising
the heavens folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is
exalted above the partners they ascribe! (Qur'an, 39:65-67)
