Those who perform prayer and give alms and are certain about the
hereafter. (Qur'an, 27:3)
Indeed we are returning to our Lord!' (Qur'an, 43:14)
Those who affirm the Day of Judgement, (Qur'an, 70:26)
We purified their sincerity through sincere remembrance of the
Abode. (Qur'an, 38:46)

THEY DO NOT GROW ATTACHED
TO THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD
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)
Do not let their wealth and children impress you. Allah merely
wants to punish them by them during their life in this world and
for them to expire while they are unbelievers. (Qur'an, 9:55)
Do not direct your eyes longingly to what We have given certain
of them to enjoy. Do not feel sad concerning them. And take the
believers under your wing. (Qur'an, 15:88)
Do not direct your eyes longingly to what We have given certain
of them to enjoy, the flower of the life of this world, so that We
can test them by it. Your Lord's provision is better and longer
lasting. (Qur'an, 20:131)
Do not let their wealth and their children impress you. Allah
merely wants to punish them by them in this world, and for them
to expire while they are unbelievers. (Qur'an, 9:85)
And what of him the evil of whose actions appears fine to him so
that he sees them as good? Allah misguides whoever He wills and
guides whoever He wills. So do not let yourself waste away out
of regret for them. Allah knows what they do. (Qur'an, 35:8)
