Why should Allah punish you if you are thankful and believe?
           Allah is All-Thankful, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 4:147)
           "And when your Lord announced: "If you are grateful, I will
           certainly give you increase, but if you are ungrateful, My
           punishment is severe." (Qur'an, 14:7)

           HE TAUGHT MAN ALL THINGS
           He taught Adam the names of all things. Then He arrayed them
           before the angels and said, 'Tell me the names of these if you are
           telling the truth.' They said, 'Glory be to  You! We have no
           knowledge except what You have taught us. You are the All-
           Knowing, the All-Wise.' (Qur'an, 2:31-32)
           Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, a group of
           them would almost have managed to mislead you. But they
           mislead no one but themselves and do not harm you in any way.
           Allah has sent down the Book and Wisdom to you and taught you
           what you did not know before. Allah's favour to you is indeed
           immense. (Qur'an, 4:113)
           If you are afraid, then perform prayer on foot or mounted. But
           when you are safe, remember Allah in the way He taught you
           when previously you did not know. (Qur'an, 2:239)

           IT IS HE WHO HEALS
           Mankind! Admonition has come to you from your Lord and also
           healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the
           believers. (Qur'an, 10:57)
           'And when I am ill, it is He Who heals me.' (Qur'an, 26:80)
           We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy
           to the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss.
           (Qur'an, 17:82)

           HE GIVES SUSTENANCE
           'He Who gives me food and gives me drink.' (Qur'an, 26:79)
