Say: 'Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for
us. He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the believers should put
their trust.' (Qur'an, 9:51)
Say: 'I possess no power to harm or help myself except as Allah
wills. Every nation has an appointed time. When their appointed
time comes, they cannot delay it a single hour or bring it forward.'
(Qur'an, 10:49)
Never say about anything, 'I am doing that tomorrow,' without
adding 'If Allah wills.' Remember your Lord when you forget,
and say, 'Hopefully my Lord will guide me to something closer to
right guidance than this.' (Qur'an, 18:23-24)
No misfortune occurs except by Allah's permission. Whoever
believes in Allah–He will guide his heart. Allah has knowledge
of all things. (Qur'an, 64:11)
You did not kill them; it was Allah Who killed them; and you did
not throw, when you threw; it was Allah Who threw: so He might
test the believers with this excellent trial from Him. Allah is All-
Hearing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 8:17)
Nothing occurs, either in the earth or in yourselves, without its
being in a Book before We make it happen. That is something easy
for Allah. (Qur'an, 57:22)

THEIR TRUE INTENTION
IS THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH
So they returned with blessings and bounty from Allah and no
evil touched them. They pursued the pleasure of Allah. Allah's
favour is indeed immense. (Qur'an, 3:174)
There is no good in much of their secret talk, except in the case of
those who enjoin charity, or what is right, or putting things right
between people. If anyone does that, seeking the pleasure of
Allah, We will give him an immense reward. (Qur'an, 4:114)
(Those) desiring only the Face of their Lord Most High. They will
certainly be satisfied. (Qur'an, 92:20-21)
