THEY LIVE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES
FOR THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH ALONE
"We feed you only out of desire for the Face of Allah. We do not
want any repayment from you or any thanks." (Qur'an, 76:9)
Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord
morning and evening, desiring His face. Do not turn your eyes
from them, desiring the attractions of this world. And do not obey
someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our
remembrance and who follows his own whims and desires and
whose life has transgressed all bounds. (Qur'an, 18:28)

THEY PRESERVE THE LIMITS OF ALLAH
You who believe! Do not make forbidden the good things Allah has
made lawful for you, and do not overstep the limits. Allah does not
love people who overstep the limits. (Qur'an, 5:87)
Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise, those
who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate, those who
command the right, those who forbid the wrong, those who
preserve the limits of Allah: give good news to the believers.
(Qur'an, 9:112)
Call on your Lord humbly and secretly. He does not love those
who overstep the limits. (Qur'an, 7:55)
Divorce can be pronounced two times; in which case wives may
be retained with correctness and courtesy or released with good
will. It is not lawful for you to keep anything you have given them
unless a couple fear that they will not remain within Allah's limits.
If you fear that they will not remain within Allah's limits, there is
nothing wrong in the wife ransoming herself with some of what
she received. These are Allah's limits, so do not overstep them.
Those who overstep Allah's limits are wrongdoers. (Qur'an, 2:229)
