You who believe! Do not let your wealth or children divert you
from the remembrance of Allah. Whoever does that is lost. (Qur'an,
63:9)

THEY LOOK TOWARDS THE HEREAFTER
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)
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)
We purified their sincerity through sincere remembrance of the
Abode. (Qur'an, 38:46)
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)
Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden as
wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the people who
guard against evil: (Qur'an, 3:133)

THEY FEEL NO APPREHENSION
OF THE FUTURE
Recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to his people, 'My
people, if my standing here and reminding you of Allah's Signs has
become too much for you to bear, know that I have put my trust
in Allah. So decide, you and your gods, on what you want to do
and be open about it. Do with me whatever you decide and do
not keep me waiting. If you turn your backs, I have not asked you
for any wage. My wage is the responsibility of Allah alone. I am
commanded to be one of the Muslims.' (Qur'an, 10:71-72)
