By it, Allah guides those who follow what pleases Him to the ways
of Peace. He will bring them from the darkness to the light by His
permission, and guide them to a straight path. (Qur'an, 5:16)

TO SEEK ALLAH'S APPROVAL AT ALL TIMES
So when you have finished, work on, and make your Lord your
goal! (Qur'an, 94:7-8)

TO BEHAVE IN THE WAY
THAT WILL PLEASE ALLAH MOST
Say: 'My people, do as you think best; that is what I am doing.
You will soon know who will receive. (Qur'an, 39:39)

TO BE SINCERELY DEVOTED TO ALLAH
But those of you who are obedient to Allah and His Messenger
and act rightly will be given their reward twice over; and We have
prepared generous provision for them. (Qur'an, 33:31)
Turning towards Him. Have fear of Him and perform prayer. Do
not be among the idolaters. (Qur'an, 30:31)
The steadfast, the truthful, the obedient, the givers, and those who
seek forgiveness before dawn. (Qur'an, 3:17)

NOT TO BE UNGRATEFUL TO ALLAH
When the waves hang over them like canopies, they call on Allah,
making their religion sincerely His. But then when He delivers
them safely to the land, some of them are ambivalent. None but a
treacherous, thankless man denies Our Signs. (Qur'an, 31:32)

NEVER TO DESPAIR OF ALLAH
Say: 'My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves,
do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong
actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.' (Qur'an,
39:53)
