but in God”? Though you see me with less wealth and children
than you possess, it may well be that my Lord will give me some-
thing better than your garden and send down on it a fireball from
the sky so that morning finds it a shifting heap of dust, or morning
finds its water drained into the earth so that you cannot get at it.’
The fruits of his labour were completely destroyed and he woke up
wringing his hands in grief, rueing everything that he had spent on
it. It was a ruin with all its trellises fallen in. He said, ‘Oh, if only I
had not associated anyone with my Lord!’ There was no group to
come to his aid, besides God, and he was not given any help. In
that situation the only protection is from God, the Real. He gives
the best reward and the best outcome. (Surat al-Kahf, 39-44)
HOLDING NO FEAR OF BEING CONDEMNED
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, God will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble
to the believers, fierce to the disbelievers, who strive in the Way of
God and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the
unbounded favour of God which He gives to whoever He wills. God
is Boundless, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Ma’idah, 54)
REFRAINING FROM AVARICE
Those who are tight-fisted with the bounty God has given them
should not suppose that that is better for them. No indeed, it is
worse for them! What they were tight-fisted with will be hung
around their necks on the Day of Rising. God is the inheritor of
the heavens and the earth and God is aware of what you do. (Surah
Al ‘Imran, 180)
