But the actions of those who do not believe are like a mirage in
the desert. A thirsty man thinks it is water but when he reaches it,
he finds it to be nothing at all, but he finds Allah there. He will pay
him his account in full. Allah is swift at reckoning. (Qur'an, 24:39)
HIS PROMISE IS TRUE
(They) remain in them timelessly, for ever. Allah's promise is true.
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Qur'an, 31:9)
Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth
in return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of Allah and they
kill and are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah,
the Gospel and the Qur'an and who is truer to his contract than
Allah? Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. That is the great
victory. (Qur'an, 9:111)
Even if there was a Qur'an which moved mountains, or split the
earth open or spoke to the dead..! On the contrary! The affair is
Allah's altogether. Do those who believe not know that if Allah
had wanted to He could have guided all mankind? Those who do
not believe will not cease to be struck by disaster for what they
have done -or a disaster will happen close to their homes- until
Allah's promise is fulfilled. Allah will not fail to keep His promise.
(Qur'an, 13:31)
Gardens of Eden which the All-Merciful has promised to His
servants in the Unseen. His promise is always kept. (Qur'an, 19:61)
They ask you to hasten the punishment. Allah will not break His
promise. A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand years
in the way you count. (Qur'an, 22:47)
HE GIVES GOOD NEWS AND WARNING
It is straight, to warn of violent force direct from Him, and to give
the good news to the believers, those who do right actions, that for
them there is an excellent reward, (Qur'an, 18:2)
