THEY FEAR THE DAY OF RESURRECTION
(There are men 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 give food, despite their love for it, to the poor and orphans
and captives: 'We feed you only out of desire for the Face of Allah.
We do not want any repayment from you or any thanks. Truly We
fear from our Lord a glowering, calamitous Day.' (Qur'an, 76:8-
10)

THEY BELIEVE IN THE HEREAFTER
WITH CERTAINTY
Those who believe in what has been sent down to you and what
was sent down before you, and are certain about the hereafter.
(Qur'an, 2:4)
Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth
in return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and they
kill and are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah,
the Gospel and the Qur'an and who is truer to his contract than
Allah? Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. That is the great
victory. (Qur'an, 9:111)
Those who perform prayer and give alms and are certain of the
hereafter. (Qur'an, 31:4)
So let those who sell the life of this world for the hereafter fight in
the Way of Allah. If someone fights in the Way of Allah, whether
he is killed or is victorious, We will pay him an immense reward.
(Qur'an, 4:74)
Seek the abode of the hereafter with what Allah has given you,
without forgetting your portion of this world. And do good as
Allah has been good to you. And do not seek to cause corruption
in the earth. Allah does not love corrupters.' (Qur'an, 28:77)
