Page 431 - Learning from the Qur'an

Those who are tight-fisted with the bounty Allah has given them
should not suppose that that is better for them. No indeed, it is
worse for them! What they were tight-fisted with will be hung
around their necks on the Day of Rising. Allah is the inheritor of
the heavens and the earth and Allah is aware of what you do.
(Qur'an, 3:180)

TO STRUGGLE AND STRIVE
IN THE WAY OF ALLAH
If you do not go out to fight, He will punish you with a painful
punishment and substitute another people in your place. You will
not harm Him in any way. Allah has power over all things. (Qur'an,
9:39)
Go out to fight, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with
your wealth and yourselves in the Way of Allah. That is better for
you if you only knew. (Qur'an, 9:41)

TO STRIVE IN THE WAY OF ALLAH
WITH ONE'S LIFE AND WEALTH
Those who believe and migrate and strive in the Way of Allah
with their wealth and themselves have a higher rank with Allah.
They are the ones who are victorious. (Qur'an, 9:20)
But the Messenger and those who believe along with him have
strived with their wealth and with themselves. They are the people
who will have the good things. They are the ones who are
successful. (Qur'an, 9:88)

TO STRUGGLE WITH THE LEADING CIRCLES
OF THE UNBELIEVERS
If they break their oaths after making their treaty and defame your
religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief—they have no binding
oaths—so that hopefully they will stop. (Qur'an, 9:12)
