Page 401 - Learning from the Qur'an

Is Allah not enough for His servant? Yet they try to scare you with
others apart from Him. If Allah misguides someone, he has no
guide. (Qur'an, 39:36)
They said, 'We bring you good news of the truth, so do not be
among those who despair.' (Qur'an, 15:55)
My sons! Seek news of Yusuf and his brother. Do not despair of
solace from Allah. No one despairs of solace from Allah except
for people who are unbelievers.' (Qur'an, 12:87)

TO BE THANKFUL TO HIM
And when your Lord announced: "If you are grateful, I will
certainly give you increase, but if you are ungrateful, My
punishment is severe."' (Qur'an, 14:7)
Why should Allah punish you if you are thankful and believe?
Allah is All-Thankful, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 4:147)
Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs knowing nothing
at all, and gave you hearing, sight and hearts so that perhaps you
would show thanks. (Qur'an, 16:78)
NEVER TO GO ASTRAY WHEN FACED WITH
DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF ALLAH
As for man, when his Lord tests himby honouring him and
favouring him, he says, 'My Lord has honoured me!' But then
when He tests him by restricting his provision, he says, 'My Lord
has humiliated me!' (Qur'an, 89:15-16)

TO BE SUBMISSIVE TO ALLAH
AND NOT TO BE ARROGANT
The people who truly do believe in Our Signs are those who fall
to the ground prostrating when they are reminded of them, and
glorify their Lord with praise, and are not arrogant. (Qur'an, 32:15)
When Our Signs are recited to such a person, he turns away
arrogantly as if he had not heard, as if there was a great weight in
his ears. So give him news of a painful punishment. (Qur'an, 31:7)
