Page 447 - Learning from the Qur'an

Be steadfast in the face of what they say and cut yourself off from
them – but courteously. (Qur'an, 73:10)

TO RESTRAIN ONE'S SELF
PATIENTLY WITH THE BELIEVERS
Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord
morning and evening, desiring His face. Do not turn your eyes
from them, desiring the attractions of this world. And do not obey
someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our
remembrance and who follows his own whims and desires and
whose life has transgressed all bounds. (Qur'an, 18:28)

TO BE SUPREME IN STEADFASTNESS
You who believe, be steadfast; be supreme in steadfastness; be
firm on the battlefield; and have fear of Allah; so that hopefully you
will be successful. (Qur'an, 3:200)
But those who had been given knowledge said, 'Woe to you!
Allah's reward is better for those who believe and act rightly. But
only the steadfast will obtain it.' (Qur'an, 28:80)

NOT TO DISPUTE OVER SOMETHING OF
WHICH THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE
You are people arguing about something of which you have no
knowledge. Why do you argue about something of which you
have no knowledge? Allah knows; you do not know.' (Qur'an,
3:66)
Do not pursue what you have no knowledge of. Hearing, sight
and hearts will all be questioned. (Qur'an, 17:36)

NOT TO BE A SWEARER OF OATHS
But do not obey any vile swearer of oaths. (Qur'an, 68:10)
