Do not give up and do not be downhearted. You shall be
uppermost if you are believers. (Qur'an, 3:139)
If you do not help him, Allah did help him when the unbelievers
drove him out and there were two of them in the Cave. He said to
his companion, 'Do not be despondent, Allah is with us.' Then

THEY GIVE THE PLEASURE OF OTHER
BELIEVERS PREFERENCE OVER THEMSELVES

their own selves who are successful. (Qur'an, 59:9)

THEY HONOUR THEIR CONTRACTS
They fulfil their vows and fear a Day whose evil will spread far and
wide. (Qur'an, 76:7)
Those who fulfil Allah's contract and do not break their agreement;
(Qur'an, 13:20)
