LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN
Tribe of Israel! Remember the blessing I conferred on you. Honour
My contract and I will honour your contract. Have dread of Me
alone. (Surat al-Baqarah, 40)
Wherever you are, turn your faces towards it so that people will have
no argument against you–except for those among them who do
wrong and then you should not fear them but rather fear Me–and
so that I can complete My blessing to you so that hopefully you will
be guided. (Surat al-Baqarah, 150)
You who believe! If you have fear of God, He will give you discrim-
ination…(Surat al-Anfal, 29)
God is with those who have fear of Him and with those who are
good-doers. (Surat an-Nahl, 128)
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him, and the reli-
gion belongs to Him, firmly and for ever. So why do you fear any-
one other than God? (Surat an-Nahl, 52)
KNOWING THAT ALL BLESSINGS COME DIRECTLY
FROM GOD WITHOUT ATTRIBUTING ANY POWER
TO THE CAUSES
Any blessing you have is from God. Then when harm touches you,
it is to Him you cry for help. (Surat an-Nahl, 53)
He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried
to number God’s blessings, you could never count them. Man is
indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful. (Surah Ibrahim, 34)
You who believe! Remember God’s blessing to you when certain
people were on the verge of raising their hands against you and He
held their hands back from you. Have fear of God. The believers
should put their trust in God. (Surat al-Ma’idah, 11)
