P. 127
Say, 'We believe in Allah and what has been sent down to us and
what was sent down to Ibrahim and Isma'il and Ishaq and Ya'qub
and the Tribes, and what Musa and 'Isa were given, and what all
the Prophets were given by their Lord. We do not differentiate
between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him.' (Qur'an,
2:136)
I hold fast to the creed of my forebears Ibrahim and Ishaq and
Ya'qub. We don't associate anything with Allah. And that is how
Allah has favoured us and all mankind, but most do not give
thanks. (Qur'an, 12:38)
THEY FOLLOW THE PRACTICES
OF THE PROPHET
Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom
they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel,
commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong,
making good things lawful for them and bad things forbidden for
them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which
were around them. Those who believe in him and honour him
and help him, and follow the Light that has been sent down with
him, they are the ones who are successful.' (Qur'an, 7:157)
THEY ARE NOT INFLUENCED BY SATAN
If an evil impulse from satan provokes you, seek refuge in Allah.
He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. As for those who guard against evil,
when they are bothered by visitors from satan, they remember
and immediately see clearly. (Qur'an, 7:200-201)
He (satan) said, 'My Lord, because You misled me, I will make
things on the earth seem good to them and I will mislead them
all, every one of them, except Your servants among them who are
sincere.' He said, 'This is a Straight Path to Me. You have no
authority over any of My servants except for the misled who follow
you.' (Qur'an, 15:39-42)
