You who believe! You are only responsible for yourselves. The
misguided cannot harm you as long as you are guided. All of you
will return to Allah and He will inform you about what you were
doing. (Qur'an, 5:105)
He (Sulayman) said, 'We will soon see if you have told the truth
or are a liar. Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them and
then withdraw from them a little and see how they respond.'
(Qur'an, 27:27-28)
That they would certainly be helped. It is Our army which will
be victorious. (Qur'an, 37:172-173)

HE DOES NOT EXPECT ANY THING
IN RETURN FOR HIS ACTIONS
My people! I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the
responsibility of Him Who brought me into being. So will you not
use your intellect? (Qur'an, 11:51)
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, 26:109)

HE HAS A DISTINCTIVE POWER
TO STRUGGLE WITH THE UNBELIEVERS
So fight in the way of Allah—you are only answerable for
yourself—and spur on the believers. It may well be that Allah will
curb the force of the unbelievers. Allah has greater force and
greater power to punish. (Qur'an, 4:84)
O Prophet! Spur on the believers to fight. If there are twenty of
you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if
there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those
who do not believe, because they are people who do not
understand. (Qur'an, 8:65)
Remember when you left your family early in the day to instal
the believers in their battle stations. Allah is All-Hearing, All-
Knowing. (Qur'an, 3:121)
