Page 118 - Learning from the Qur'an

Remember your Lord in yourself humbly and fearfully, without
loudness of voice, morning and evening. Do not be one of the
unaware. (Qur'an, 7:205)
Those who remember Allah, standing, sitting and lying on their
sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth:
'Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You!
So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire. (Qur'an, 3:191)
Those who believe and whose hearts find peace in the
remembrance of Allah. Only in the remembrance of Allah can the
heart find peace.' (Qur'an, 13:28)
You who believe! When you meet a troop, stand firm and
remember Allah repeatedly so that hopefully you will be
successful. (Qur'an, 8:45)
You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all
who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah
much. (Qur'an, 33:21)
Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book and perform
prayer. Prayer precludes indecency and wrongdoing. And
remembrance of Allah is greater still. Allah knows what you do.
(Qur'an, 29:45)

THEY DO NOT TRUST THEIR OWN POWER
AND MEANS, BUT ONLY ALLAH
When Talut marched out with the army, he said, 'Allah will test you
with a river. Anyone who drinks from it is not with me. But anyone
who does not taste it is with me—except for him who merely
scoops up a little in his hand.' But they drank from it—except for
a few of them. Then when he and those who believed with him had
crossed it, they said, 'We do not have the strength to face Goliath
and his troops today.' But those who were sure that they were
going to meet Allah said, 'How many a small force has triumphed
over a much greater one by Allah's permission! Allah is with the
steadfast. (Qur'an, 2:249)
