Satan threatens you with poverty and commands you to avarice.
            Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and abundance. Allah
            is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 2:268)

            THEY FULLY BELIEVE
            IN THE PRE-ORDAINED DECREE
            Say: 'Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for
            us. He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the believers should put
            their trust.' (Qur'an, 9:51)
            Nothing occurs, either in the earth or in yourselves, without its
            being in a Book before We make it happen. That is so that you will
            not be grieved about the things that pass you by or exult about
            the things that come to you. Allah does not love any vain or
            boastful man: (Qur'an, 57:22-23)

            THEY ARE AWARE THAT THEY OWE
            THEIR PROPERTIES TO ALLAH
            My Lord, You have granted power to me on earth and taught me
            the true meaning of events. Originator of the heavens and earth,
            You are my Friend in this world and the Next. So take me as a
            Muslim at my death and join me to the people who are righteous.'
            (Qur'an, 12:101)
            He taught Adam the names of all things. Then He arrayed them
            before the angels and said, 'Tell me the names of these if you are
            telling the truth.'  They said, 'Glory be to You! We have no
            knowledge except what You have taught us. You are the All-
            Knowing, the All-Wise.' (Qur'an, 2:31-32)
            He said, 'No meal to feed you will arrive before I have informed
            you what they mean. That is part of what my Lord taught me. For
            I have left the religion of a people who clearly have no faith in
            Allah and are unbelievers about the world to come. (Qur'an, 12:37)
