LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

So he drew water for them and then withdrew into the shade and
said, ‘My Lord, I am truly in need of any good You have in store for
me.’ (Surat al-Qasas, 23-24)

He (their father) said, ‘I would like to marry you to one of these two
daughters of mine on condition that you work for me for eight full
years. If you complete ten, that is up to you. I do not want to be
hard on you. You will find me, God willing, to be one of the right-
eous.’ (Surat al-Qasas, 27)
When Musa had fulfilled the appointed term and had set off with
his family, he noticed a fire from one side of the Mount. He said to

his family, ‘Stay here, I can see a fire. Hopefully I will bring you
back some news from it or a burning branch from the fire so that
you will be able to warm yourselves.’ (Surat al-Qasas, 29)

REFRAIN FROM LYING
That is it. If someone honours God’s sacred things, that is better for
him in his Lord’s Sight. All livestock are permitted to you except
what has already been recited to you. Have done with the defilement
of idols and have done with telling lies. (Surat al-Hajj, 30)
Those who do not believe in God’s Signs are merely inventing lies.

It is they who are the liars. (Surat an-Nahl, 105)
Do not say about what your lying tongues describe: ‘This is lawful
and this is forbidden,’ inventing lies against God. Those who invent
lies against God are not successful. (Surat an-Nahl, 116)
Among them is a group who distort the Book with their tongues so

that you think it is from the Book when it is not from the Book.
They say, ‘It is from God,’ but it is not from God. They tell a lie
against God and they know it. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 78)
