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)
