THEY CONSISTENTLY BEHAVE
WELL AND PROPERLY
We did not create the heavens and earth and everything between
them, except with truth. The Hour is certainly coming, so turn
away graciously. (Qur'an, 15:85)
It is not your wealth or your children that will bring you near to
Us— only in the case of people who believe and act rightly; such
people will have a double recompense for what they did. They
will be safe from all harm in the High Halls of Paradise. (Qur'an,
34:37)
Anyone, male or female, who does right actions and is a believer,
will enter the Garden. They will not be wronged by so much as the
tiniest speck. (Qur'an, 4:124)
Those who listen well to what is said and follow the best of it,
they are the ones whom Allah has guided, they are the people of
intelligence. (Qur'an, 39:18)
The heedful will be among Gardens and Fountains, receiving what
their Lord has given them. Certainly before that they were good-
doers. (Qur'an, 51:15-16)
If anyone wants honour, all honour belongs to Allah. All good
words rise to Him and virtuous deeds lift them up. But people
who plot evil deeds will suffer a harsh punishment. The plotting
of such people is profitless. (Qur'an, 35:10)
You who believe! Do not profane the sacred rites of Allah or the
sacred months, or the sacrificial animals, or the ritual garlands, or
those heading for the Sacred House, desiring profit and good
pleasure from their Lord. When you have come out of pilgrim
dress, then you may hunt. Do not let hatred for a people who debar
you from the Masjid al-Haram incite you into going beyond the
limits. Help each other to goodness and heedfulness. Do not help
each other to wrongdoing and enmity. Have fear of Allah. Allah
is severe in retribution. (Qur'an, 5:2)
