Page 468 - Learning from the Qur'an

When they hear worthless talk they turn away from it and say, 'We
have our actions and you have your actions. Peace be upon you. We
do not desire the company of the ignorant.' (Qur'an, 28:55)
When you see people engrossed in mockery of Our Signs, turn from
them until they start to talk of other things. And if satan should
ever cause you to forget, once you remember, do not stay sitting
with the wrongdoers. (Qur'an, 6:68)

NOT TO TALK OF THE
FUTURE WITH CERTAINTY
Never say about anything, 'I am doing that tomorrow,' without
adding 'If Allah wills.' Remember your Lord when you forget, and
say, 'Hopefully my Lord will guide me to something closer to right
guidance than this.' (Qur'an, 18:23-24)

TO BE AWARE THAT ALL
POWER BELONGS TO ALLAH
Why, when you entered your garden, did you not say, "It is as Allah
wills, there is no strength but in Allah"? Though you see me with
less wealth and children than you possess. (Qur'an, 18:39)

NOT TO HAVE AN INSATIABLE
LOVE OF WEALTH
No indeed! You do not honour orphans, nor do you urge the feeding
of the poor; you devour inheritance with voracious appetites and
you have an insatiable love of wealth. (Qur'an, 89:17-20)

NOT TO COMPETE FOR
WEALTH AND ABUNDANCE
Fierce competition for (the wealth and abundance of) this world
distracted you, until you went down to the graves. (Qur'an, 102-102)
