Page 402 - Learning from the Qur'an

Do not avert your face from people out of haughtiness and do not
strut about arrogantly on the earth. Allah does not love anyone
who is vain or boastful. (Qur'an, 31:18)
When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by pride which
drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an
evil resting-place! (Qur'an, 2:206)
NEVER TO REVOLT AGAINST ALLAH
AND THE PROPHET
Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, such people will be
among the most abased. (Qur'an, 58:20)
TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS
CONTROLLED BY ALLAH AND
BE PLEASED WITH IT
Say: 'Nothing can happen to us except what Allah has ordained for
us. He is Our Master. It is in Allah that the believers should put
their trust.' (Qur'an, 9:51)
Say: 'I possess no power to harm or help myself except as Allah
wills. Every nation has an appointed time. When their appointed
time comes, they cannot delay it a single hour or bring it forward.'
(Qur'an, 10:49)

TO LOVE ALLAH GREATLY
Some people set up equals to Allah, loving them as they should
love Allah. But those who believe have greater love for Allah. If
only you could see those who do wrong at the time when they see
the punishment, and that truly all strength belongs to Allah, and
that Allah is severe in punishment. (Qur'an, 2:165)
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble
to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of
Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the
unbounded favour of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills.
Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 5:54)
