             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)
