THEY REGARD EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENS TO THEM AS GOOD
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)

THEY EARNESTLY OBEY ALLAH,
HIS COMMANDS AND HIS MESSENGERS
When Allah and His Messenger have decided something it is not
for any man or woman of the believers to have a choice about it.
Anyone who disobeys Allah and His Messenger is clearly
misguided. (Qur'an, 33:36)
But those of you who are obedient to Allah and His Messenger
and act rightly will be given their reward twice over; and We have
prepared generous provision for them. (Qur'an, 33:31)
Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and beware! If you turn your
backs, know that Our Messenger is only responsible for clear
transmission. (Qur'an, 5:92)
Say, 'If you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you
and forgive you for your wrong actions. Allah is Ever-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.' (Qur'an, 3:31)

THEY FOLLOW THE WAY OF THE PROPHETS
AND MESSENGERS
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)
Or were you present when death came to Ya'qub and he said to his
sons, 'What will you worship when I have gone?' They said, 'We
will worship your God, the God of your forefathers, Ibrahim,
Isma'il and Ishaq–one God. We are Muslims submitted to Him.'
(Qur'an, 2:133)
