That is it. As for those who honour Allah's sacred rites should do
            so from heartfelt heeding. (Qur'an, 22:32)

            NOT TO FORBID ANYTHING
            ALLAH HAS PERMITTED
            You who believe! Do not make forbidden the good things Allah has
            made lawful for you, and do not overstep the limits. Allah does not
            love people who overstep the limits. (Qur'an, 5:87)
            Those, who kill their children foolishly without any knowledge
            and make what Allah has provided for them forbidden, inventing
            lies against Allah, such people are lost. They are misguided. They
            are not guided. (Qur'an, 6:140)

            TO OBEY ALLAH'S COMMANDS
            WITHOUT EXCEPTION
            Then you are the people who are killing one another and expelling
            a group among you from their homes, ganging up against them in
            wrongdoing and enmity. Yet if they are brought to you as captives,
            you ransom them, when it was forbidden for you to expel them in
            the first place! Do you, then, believe in one part of the Book and
            reject the other? What repayment will there be for any of you who
            do that except disgrace in this world? And on the Day of Rising,
            they will be returned to the harshest of punishments. Allah is not
            unaware of what you do. (Qur'an, 2:85)

            TO BE FIRM IN FOLLOWING
            ALLAH'S COMMANDS
            It is a Book sent down to you—so let there be no constriction in
            your breast because of it—so that you can give warning by it and
            as a reminder to the believers. (Qur'an, 7:2)
            He is Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between
            them, so worship Him and persevere in His worship. Do you know
            of any other with His Name? (Qur'an, 19:65)
