LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

Purify your clothes. Shun all filth. (Surat al-Mudathir, 4-5)
(We said to Ibrahim,) ‘Then they should end their state of self-
neglect and fufil their vows and circle the Ancient House.’ (Surat al-

Hajj, 29)
They will swear to you by God when you return to them, so that
you leave them alone. Leave them alone, then! They are filth. Their
shelter will be Hell as repayment for what they did. (Surat at-Tawba,
95)
No self can believe except with God’s permission. He places a blight

on those who do not use their intellect. (Surah Yunus, 100)
When God desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to
Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast
narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That
is how God defiles those who have no faith. (Surat al-An’am, 125)
You who believe! The idolaters are unclean…(Surat at-Tawba, 28)

DRESSING ELEGANTLY WHEN VISITING MOSQUES
Children of Adam! Wear fine clothing in every mosque…(Surat

al-A’raf, 31)

PREFERRING CLEAN AND GOOD FOODS
That was the situation when we woke them up so they could ques-
tion one another. One of them asked, ‘How long have you been
here?’ They replied, ‘We have been here for a day or part of a day.’
They said, ‘Your Lord knows best how long you have been here.
Send one of your number into the city with this silver you have, so
he can see which food is purest and bring you some of it to eat.

But he should go about with caution so that no one is aware of you,’.
(Surat al-Kahf, 19)
