THEY DO THEIR BEST
IN THE WAY OF ALLAH
But the Messenger and those who believe along with him have
strived with their wealth and with themselves. They are the people
who will have the good things. They are the ones who are
successful. (Qur'an, 9:88)
Those who believe and migrate and strive in the Way of Allah
with their wealth and themselves have a higher rank with Allah.
They are the ones who are victorious. (Qur'an, 9:20)
Fight them! Allah will punish them at your hands, and disgrace
them and help you against them, and heal the hearts of those who
believe. (Qur'an, 9:14)
You who believe! Shall I direct you to a transaction which will
save you from a painful punishment? It is to believe in Allah and
His Messenger and strive in the Way of Allah with your wealth and
your selves. That is better for you if you only knew. (Qur'an, 61:10-
11)
The believers are only those who have belived in Allah and His
Messenger and then have had no doubt and have strived with
their wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah. They are the ones
who are true to their word. (Qur'an, 49:15)
What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of
Allah–for those men, women and children who are oppressed and
say, 'Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are
wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from
You!'? (Qur'an, 4:75)
Strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has selected you
and not placed any constraint upon you in the religion—the
religion of your forefather Ibrahim. He named you Muslims before
and also in this, so that the Messenger could be witness against you
and you could be witnesses against all mankind. So perform prayer
and give alms and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector—the Best
Protector, the Best Helper. (Qur'an, 22:78)
