Page 263 - Learning from the Qur'an

The believers are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger
and who when they are with him on a matter of common concern,
do not leave until they have asked him for permission. Those
people who ask you for permission are the ones who truly believe
in Allah and His Messenger. If they ask your permission to attend
to their own affairs, give permission to any of them you please; and
ask Allah's forgiveness for them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (Qur'an, 24:62)

HE CONSTITUTES THE BEST EXAMPLE
OF HEEDFULNESS FOR THE BELIEVERS
You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all
who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah
much. (Qur'an, 33:21)
He is only a servant on whom We bestowed Our blessing and
whom We made an example for the tribe of Israel. (Qur'an, 43:59)
You have an excellent example in Ibrahim and those with him,
when they said to their people, 'We wash our hands of you and all
that you worship apart from Allah, and we reject you. Between
us and you there will be enmity and hatred for ever unless and
until you believe in Allah alone.' Except for Ibrahim's words to
his father: 'I will ask forgiveness for you but I have no power to
help you in any way against Allah'. Our Lord, we have put our
trust in You. And have repented to You.You are our final
destination. (Qur'an, 60:4)

THE BELIEVERS PLEDGE HIM
THEIR ALLEGIANCE
Those who pledge you their allegiance pledge allegiance to Allah.
Allah's hand is over their hands. He who breaks his pledge only
breaks it against himself. But as for him who fulfils the contract he
has made with Allah, We will pay him an immense reward.
(Qur'an, 48:10)
