Those who are steadfast and put their trust in their Lord. (Qur'an,
16:42)
What is with you runs out but what is with Allah goes on for ever.
Those who were steadfast will be recompensed according to the
best of what they did. (Qur'an, 16:96)
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)
You will be tested in your wealth and in yourselves and you will
hear many abusive words from those given the Book before you
and from those who are idolaters. But if you are steadfast and
guard against evil, that is the most resolute course to take. (Qur'an,
3:186)
We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and
loss of wealth and life and fruits. But give good news to the
steadfast: (Qur'an, 2:155)
When they came out against Goliath and his troops, they said,
'Our Lord, pour down steadfastness upon us, and make our feet
firm, and help us against this disbelieving people.' (Qur'an, 2:250)

THEY DO NOT ACT UPON THEIR FEELINGS,
BUT UPON THEIR WISDOM
Do not let those who rush headlong into disbelief sadden you.
They do not harm Allah in any way. Allah desires to assign no
portion to them in the hereafter. They will have a terrible
punishment. (Qur'an, 3:176)
We have instructed man to honour his parents, but if they
endeavour to make you associate with Me something about which
you have no knowledge, do not obey them. It is to Me you will
return and I will inform you about the things you did. (Qur'an,
29:8)
Do not grieve over them and do not let the plots they make distress
you. (Qur'an, 27:70)
