HE LOVES THE BELIEVERS
Do not ever stand in it (such a mosque). A mosque founded on
performing one's duty from the very first day has a greater right
for you to stand in it. In it there are men who love to purify
themselves. Allah loves those who purify themselves. (Qur'an,
9:108)
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble
to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of
Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the
unbounded favour of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills.
Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 5:54)
HE GIVES SERENITY AND
SAFETY TO THE HEARTS OF THE BELIEVERS
It is He Who sent down serenity into the hearts of the believers
thereby increasing their faith with more faith—the legions of the
heavens and the earth belong to Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, All-
Wise. (Qur'an, 48:4)
Allah was pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance
to you under the tree. He knew what was in their hearts, and sent
down serenity to them and has rewarded them with an imminent
victory. (Qur'an, 48:18)
And when He overcame you with sleep, making you feel secure,
and sent you down water from heaven to purify you and remove
the taint of satan from you, and to fortify your hearts and make
your feet firm. (Qur'an, 8:11)
If you do not help him, Allah did help him when the unbelievers
drove him out and there were two of them in the Cave. He said to
his companion, 'Do not be despondent, Allah is with us.' Then
Allah sent down His serenity upon him and reinforced him with
troops you could not see. He made the word of those who did not
believe undermost. It is the word of Allah which is uppermost.
Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 9:40)
