When their brother Hud said to them, 'Will you not guard against
           evil? I am a faithful Messenger to you so have fear of Allah and
           obey me. I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the
           responsibility of no one but the Lord of all the worlds. (Qur'an,
           26:124-127)
           When their brother Nuh said to them, 'Will you not guard against
           evil? I am a faithful Messenger to you so have fear of Allah and
           obey me. I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the
           responsibility of no one but the Lord of all the worlds. So have
           fear of Allah and obey me.' (Qur'an, 26:106-110)
           (Mine is) only transmitting from Allah and His Messages. As for
           him who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he will have the Fire
           of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever and ever.' (Qur'an,
           72:23)


           THEY NEVER WEAKEN IN THEIR FIGHT
           IN THE WAY OF ALLAH
           Many a Prophet has fought, when there were many thousands
           with him! They did not give up in the face of what assailed them
           in the Way of Allah, nor did they weaken, nor did they yield. Allah
           loves the steadfast. (Qur'an, 3:146)
           Do not relax in pursuit of the enemy. If you feel pain, they too are
           feeling it just as you are, but you hope for something from Allah
           which they cannot hope for. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
           (Qur'an, 4:104)
           So be steadfast. Allah's promise is true. Do not let those who have
           no certainty make you impatient and shake your firmness. (Qur'an,
           30:60)
           Do not give up and do not be downhearted.  You shall be
           uppermost if you are believers. (Qur'an, 3:139)
