P. 121

The believers are those whose hearts tremble when Allah is
            mentioned, whose faith is increased when His Signs are recited
            to them, and who put their trust in their Lord; (Qur'an, 8:2)
            Allah has sent down the Supreme Discourse, a Book consistent in
            its frequent repetitions. The skins of those who fear their Lord
            tremble at it and then their skins and hearts yield softly to the
            remembrance of Allah. That is Allah's guidance by which He
            guides whoever He wills. And no one can guide those whom Allah
            misguides. (Qur'an, 39:23)
            Whose hearts quake at the mention of Allah, and who are steadfast
            in the face of all that happens to them, those who perform prayer
            and give of what We have provided for them. (Qur'an, 22:35)

            THEY NEVER DISPLAY
            INGRATITUDE TOWARDS ALLAH
            He who possessed knowledge of the Book said, 'I will bring it to
            you before your glance returns to you.' And when he (Sulayman)
            saw it standing firmly in his presence, he said, 'This is part of my
            Lord's favour to test me to see if I will give thanks or show
            ingratitude. Whoever gives thanks only does so to his own gain.
            Whoever is ungrateful, my Lord is Rich Beyond Need, Generous.'
            (Qur'an, 27:40)


            THEY BELIEVE IN THE DAY
            OF RESURRECTION WITH CERTAINTY
            Those who fear their Lord in the Unseen and are apprehensive
            about the Hour. (Qur'an, 21:49)
            Accordingly We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an so that
            you may warn the Mother of Cities (people of Makka) and those
            around it, and give warning of the Day of Gathering about which
            there is no doubt: one group in the Garden, the other in the Blazing
            Fire. (Qur'an, 42:7)
