TO EAT LAWFUL FOOD
            So eat from what Allah has provided for you, lawful and good,
            and be thankful for the blessing of Allah if it is Him you worship.
            (Qur'an, 16:114)

            NOT TO TAKE THOSE WHO DO
            NOT MIGRATE AS FRIENDS
            Those who believe and have migrated and strived with their
            wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah, and those who have
            given refuge and help, they are the friends and protectors of one
            another. But as for those who believe but have not migrated, you
            are not in any way responsible for their protection until they
            migrate. But if they ask you for help in respect of the religion, it
            is your duty to help them, except against people you have a treaty
            with. Allah sees what you do. (Qur'an, 8:72)

            TO FULFIL PROMISES AND CONTRACTS
            No, the truth is if people honour their contracts and have fear of
            Him, Allah loves those who guard against evil. (Qur'an, 3:76)
            Those who fulfil Allah's contract and do not break their agreement.
            (Qur'an, 13:20)
            Those who honour their trusts and contracts. (Qur'an, 70:32)

            TO BE TRUE TO ALLAH'S CONTRACT
            WHEN ONE HAS AGREED TO IT
            But as for those who break Allah's contract after it has been agreed
            and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and cause
            corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will
            have the Evil Abode. (Qur'an, 13:25)
            Be true to Allah's contract when you have agreed to it, and do not
            break your oaths once they are confirmed and you have made
            Allah your guarantee. Allah knows what you do. (Qur'an, 16:91)
