             Their hearts are distracted. Those who do wrong confer together
             secretly, saying, ‘Is this man anything but a human being like your-
             selves? Do you succumb to magic with your eyes wide open?’ (Surat
             al-Anbiya’, 3)

             We did not create heaven and earth and everything in between
             them as a game. (Surat al-Anbiya’, 16)

             REFRAINING FROM GIVING PROMISES THAT
             CANNOT BE KEPT

             and statues, huge dishes like cisterns, great built-in cooking vats.
             ‘Work, family of Dawud, in thankfulness!’ But very few of My ser-
             vants are thankful. (Surah Saba’, 13)


             REFRAINING FROM INSINCERE BEHAVIOR SUCH
             AS “BRAGGING ABOUT THINGS ONE DID NOT
             ACCOMPLISH”
             Those who exult in what they have done and love to be praised for
