TO TAKE ONLY ALLAH, THE PROPHET AND
THE BELIEVERS AS FRIENDS AND HELPERS
You alone we ask for help. (Qur'an, 1:4)
As for those who make Allah their friend, and His Messenger and
those who believe: it is the party of Allah who are victorious!
(Qur'an, 5:56)
Allah knows best who your enemies are. Allah suffices as a
Protector; Allah suffices as a Helper. (Qur'an, 4:45)

TO BE HONEST AND SINCERE TO ALLAH
When he came to his Lord with an unblemished heart. (Qur'an,
37:84)
Those who, when they act indecently or wrong themselves,
remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their bad actions (and
who can forgive bad actions except Allah?) and do not knowingly
persist in what they were doing. (Qur'an, 3:135)

TO BE TRUE TO ALLAH, NOT ONLY IN TIMES
OF HARDSHIP, BUT ALWAYS
Yet they had previously made a contract with Allah that they
would never turn their backs. Contracts made with Allah will be
asked about. (Qur'an, 33:15)
Nor is anything held against those who, when they came to you
for you to provide them with mounts and you said, 'I cannot find
anything on which to mount you,' turned away with their eyes
overflowing with tears, overcome by grief at having nothing to
give. There are only grounds against those who ask you for
permission to stay when they are rich. They were pleased to be
among those who were left behind. Allah has sealed up their hearts
so they do not know. (Qur'an, 9:92-93)
Would be obedience and honourable words. Once the matter is
resolved upon, being true to Allah would be better for them.
(Qur'an, 47:21)
