LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

he has earned with no protector or intercessor besides God. Were
he to offer every kind of compensation, it would not be accepted
from him. Such people are delivered up to destruction for what they
have earned. They will have scalding water to drink and a painful

punishment because they disbelieved. (Surat al-An’am, 70)
Do they imagine that, in the wealth and children We extend to
them, We are hastening to them with good things? No indeed, but
they have no awareness! (Surat al-Mu’minun, 55-56)
Do not let their wealth and their children impress you. God merely
wants to punish them by them in this world, and for them to expire

while they are disbelievers. (Surat at-Tawba, 85)
As for those who desire the life of this world and its finery, We will
give them full payment in it for their actions. They will not be
deprived here of their due. But such people will have nothing in
the hereafter but the Fire. What they achieved here will come to
nothing. What they did will prove to be null and void. (Surah Hud,
15-16)

BEING CONSTANTLY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT
BELIEVERS ALWAYS PREVAIL
Do not give up and do not be downhearted. You shall be uppermost
if you are believers. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 139)
To those who disbelieve, the life of this world is painted in glowing

colours and they laugh at those who believe. But on the Day of Ris-
ing those who fear God will be over them. God provides for who-
ever He wills without any reckoning. (Surat al-Baqarah, 212)
... As for those who make God their friend, and His Messenger and
those who believe: it is the party of God who are victorious! (Surat
al-Ma’idah, 56)
