So remain steadfast. Allah's promise is true. Ask forgiveness for
           your wrong action and glorify your Lord with praise in the evening
           and the early morning. (Qur'an, 40:55)
           So be patient in the face of what they say and glorify your Lord
           with praise before the rising of the sun and before it sets. And
           glorify Him during the night and after you have prostrated.
           (Qur'an, 50:39-40)

           TO GLORIFY ALLAH WHEN
           RIDING ON VEHICLES
           So that you might sit firmly on their backs and remember your
           Lord's blessing while you are seated on them, saying, 'Glory be to
           Him Who has subjected this to us. We could never have done it by
           ourselves. Indeed we are returning to our Lord!' (Qur'an, 43:13-14)

           THE THINGS THAT ALLAH FORBIDS
           Say: 'Come and I will recite to you what your Lord has made
           forbidden for you': that you do not associate anything with Him;
           that you are good to your parents; that you do not kill your
           children because of poverty—We will provide for you and them;
           that you do not approach indecency—outward or inward; that
           you do not kill any person Allah has made inviolate—except with
           the right to do so. That is what He instructs you to do so that
           hopefully you will use your intellect. (Qur'an, 6:151)

           THAT THOSE THINGS THAT ALLAH
           FORBIDS MAY BE EATEN IN TIMES OF
           UNAVOIDABLE NECESSITY
           He has forbidden you carrion, blood and pork and anything
           consecrated to other than Allah. But if someone is forced to eat it,
           without desiring to or going to excess in it, your Lord is Ever-
           Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Qur'an, 16:115)
