LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

The parties differed among themselves. Woe to those who disbe-
lieve when they are present on a terrible Day! (Surah Maryam, 37)
Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord

morning and evening, desiring His face. Do not turn your eyes
from them, desiring the attractions of this world. And do not obey
someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remem-
brance and who follows his own whims and desires and whose life
has transgressed all bounds. (Surat al-Kahf, 28)
You who believe! Have fear of God and be with the truly sincere.
(Surat at-Tawba, 119)

(Believers are) those who, when they are wronged, defend them-
selves. (Surat ash-Shura, 39)
Do not be like those who split up and differed after the Clear Signs
came to them. They will have a terrible punishment. (Surah Al
‘Imran, 105)
But they disagreed and split up, dividing into sects, each party
exulting in what it had. So leave them in their glut of ignorance for

… So have fear of God and put things right between you. Obey
God and His Messenger if you are believers.’ (Surat al-Anfal, 1)
If two parties of the believers fight, make peace between them. But
if one of them attacks the other unjustly, fight the attackers until
they revert to God’s command. If they revert, make peace between

them with justice, and be even-handed. God loves those who are
even-handed. (Surat al-Hujurat, 9)
