HE BRINGS THE BELIEVERS TOGETHER
Each person faces a particular direction so race each other to the
good. Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together. Truly
Allah has power over all things. (Qur'an, 2:148)
HE UNIFIES THE HEARTS OF THE BELIEVERS
Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate.
Remember Allah's blessing to you when you were enemies and He
joined your hearts together so that you became brothers by His
blessing. You were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire and He
rescued you from it. In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to
you, so that hopefully you will be guided. (Qur'an, 3:103)
If they intend to deceive you, Allah is enough for you. It is He
Who supported you with His help and with the believers, and
unified their hearts. Even if you had spent everything on the earth,
you could not have unified their hearts. But Allah has unified
them. He is Almighty, All-Wise. O Prophet! Allah is enough for
you, and for the believers who follow you. (Qur'an, 8:62-64)

HE HAS MADE FAITH PLEASING,
AND UNFAITH HATEFUL TO THE HEARTS
OF THE BELIEVERS
Know that the Messenger of Allah is among you. If he were to
obey you in many things, you would suffer for it. However, Allah
has given you love of faith and made it pleasing to your hearts, and
has made disbelief, deviance and disobedience hateful to you.
People such as these are rightly guided. (Qur'an, 49:7)

HE MAKES THE WORK
OF THE BELIEVERS EASY
Did We not expand your breast for you and remove your load
from you which weighed down your back? Did We not raise your
renown high? For truly with hardship comes ease; truly with
hardship comes ease. (Qur'an, 94:1-6)
