LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

doubters. (Surah Yunus, 94)
'Am I to desire someone other than God as a judge when it is He
Who has sent down the Book to you clarifying everything?’ Those

We have given the Book know it has been sent down from your Lord
with truth, so on no account be among the doubters. (Surat al-
An’am, 114)
Only those who do not believe in God and the Last Day ask you
to excuse them…(Surat at-Tawba, 45)

MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR STRUGGLING IN
THE WAY FOR GOD
Arm yourselves against them with all the firepower and cavalry
you can muster, to terrify the enemies of God and your enemies,
and others besides them whom you do not know. God knows them.

Anything you spend in the Way of God will be repaid to you in full.
You will not be wronged. (Surat al-Anfal, 60)
If they had really desired to go out (to fight), they would have
made proper preparations for it, but God was averse to their setting
out so He held them back and they were told: ‘Stay behind with
those who stay behind.’ (Surat at-Tawba, 46)
Go out to fight, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with
your wealth and yourselves in the Way of God. That is better for

you if you only knew. (Surat at-Tawba, 41)
You who believe! When you go out to fight in the Way of God ver-
ify things carefully. Do not say, ‘You are not a believer’, to someone
who greets you as a Muslim, simply out of desire for the goods of
this world. With God there is booty in abundance. That is the way
you were before but God has been kind to you. So verify things care-

fully. God is aware of what you do. (Surat an-Nisa’, 94)
