TO BE AWARE OF THE ACTIVITIES
OF THE UNBELIEVERS
Do not relax in pursuit of the enemy. If you feel pain, they too are
feeling it just as you are, but you hope for something from Allah
which they cannot hope for. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
(Qur'an, 4:104)

TO LONG TO BE ONE OF THOSE IN THE
LEADING POSITION IN THE STRUGGLE
Those who say, 'Our Lord, give us joy in our wives and children
and give us (the grace) to lead those who guard against evil.
(Qur'an, 25:74)

NOT TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF SATAN
Mankind! Eat what is good and lawful on the earth. And do not
follow in the footsteps of satan. He truly is an outright enemy to
you. (Qur'an, 2:168)
And also animals for riding and for haulage and animals for
slaughtering and for wool. Eat what Allah has provided for you
and do not follow in the footsteps of satan. He is an outright enemy
to you. (Qur'an, 6:142)
You who believe! Do not follow in the footsteps of satan. Anyone
who follows in satan's footsteps should know that he commands
indecency and wrongdoing. Were it not for Allah's favour to you
and His mercy, not one of you would ever have been purified. But
Allah purifies whoever He wills. Allah is All-Hearing, All-
Knowing (Qur'an, 24:21)
NOT TO TAKE SATAN AS A FRIEND
Satan is your enemy so treat him as an enemy. He summons his
party so they will be among the people of the Searing Blaze.
(Qur'an, 35:6)
