LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN


             CONTINUING THE STRUGGLE UNTIL ALL MISCHIEF
             IS WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH AND ISLAM
             BECOMES THE PREDOMINANT RELIGION
             Fight them until there is no more discord and the religion is God’s
             alone. If they stop, God sees what they do. (Surat al-Anfal, 39)

             KEEPING IN MIND THAT GOD HELPS THE
             BELIEVERS WHO STRUGGLE IN THE WAY OF GOD
             As for those who strive in Our Way, We will guide them to Our
             Paths. Truly God is with the good-doers. (Surat al-Anqabut, 69)

             Those who anticipate the worst for you say, ‘Were we not with you?’
             whenever you gain a victory from God, but if the disbelievers have
             a success they say, ‘Did we not have the upper hand over you and
             yet in spite of that keep the believers away from you?’ God will judge
             between you on the Day of Rising. God will not give the disbeliev-

             You who believe! If you help God, He will help you and make your
             feet firm. (Surah Muhammad, 7)

             Then when the Messengers despaired and thought themselves
             denied, Our help came to them, and those We willed were saved.
             Our violent force cannot be averted from people who are evildoers.
             (Surah Yusuf, 110)
             Those who were expelled from their homes without any right, mere-

             ly for saying, ‘Our Lord is God’ (if God had not driven some people
             back by means of others, monasteries, churches, synagogues and
             mosques, where God’s name is mentioned much, would have been
             pulled down and destroyed. God will certainly help those who help
             Him–God is All-Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Hajj, 40)
             And remember when two of your clans were on the point of losing
