Messengers before you were also denied but they were steadfast in
the face of the denial and injury they suffered until Our help
arrived. There is no changing the Words of God. And news of other
Messengers has come to you. (Surat al-An’am, 34)

(Their Messengers said,) ‘And why indeed should we not put our
trust in God when He has guided us to our ways? We will be stead-
fast however much you harm us. Those who trust put their trust
in God.’ (Surah Ibrahim, 12)
Many a Prophet has been fought, when there were many thousands
with him! They did not give up in the face of what assailed them

in the Way of God, nor did they weaken, nor did they yield. God
loves the steadfast. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 146)
It is not devoutness to turn your faces to the East or to the West.
Rather, those with true devoutness are those who believe in God
and the Last Day, the Angels, the Book and the Prophets, and who,
despite their love for it, give away their wealth to their relatives and
to orphans and the very poor, and to travellers and beggars and to
set slaves free, and who perform prayer and give the alms; those

who honour their contracts when they make them, and are stead-
fast in poverty and illness and in battle. Those are the people who
are true. They are the people who guard against evil. (Surat al-
Baqarah, 177)
Be steadfast in the face of what they say. (Surah Sad, 17)
You will be tested in your wealth and in yourselves and you will hear

many abusive words from those given the Book before you and
from those who are idolaters. But if you are steadfast and guard
against evil, that is the most resolute course to take. (Surah Al
‘Imran, 186)
