LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

Who could say anything better than someone who summons to
God and acts rightly and says, ‘I am one of the Muslims’? (Surat al-
Fussilat, 33)

O Messenger! Transmit what has been sent down to you from your
Lord. If you do not do it you will not have transmitted His Message.
God will protect you from people. God does not guide the people
of the disbelievers. (Surat al-Ma’idah, 67)
Those to whom We gave the Book rejoice at what has been sent
down to you but some of the parties refuse to acknowledge part of
it. Say: ‘I have only been ordered to worship God and not to associ-

ate anything with Him. I summon to Him and to Him I will return.’
(Surat ar-Ra`d, 36)

GIVING ADVICE AND PREACHING
IF IT WILL PROVE BENEFICIAL

Remind, then, if the reminder benefits. He who has fear will be
reminded. But the most miserable will shun it (the reminder), those
who will roast in the Greatest Fire. (Surat al- A`la, 9-11)
We know best what they say. You are not a dictator over them. So
remind, with the Qur’an, whoever fears My Threat. (Surat al-Qaf,
45)
It makes no difference to them whether you warn them or do not
warn them: they will not believe. (Surah Ya Sin, 10)

As for those who deny, it is all the same if you warn them or not,
they will not believe. (Surat al-Baqarah, 6)
(Nuh said,) ‘My counsel will not benefit you, for all my desire to
counsel you, if God desires to lead you into error. He is your Lord
and you will return to Him.’ (Surah Hud, 34)

You will not make dead men hear and you will not make deaf men
