LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

PREPARING FOR THE HEREAFTER WITHOUT EVER
FORGETTING THAT THE HEREAFTER IS OUR ACTU-
AL HOME
You who believe! Have fear of God and let each self look to what it
has sent forward for tomorrow. Have fear of God. God is aware of
what you do. (Surat al-Hashr, 18)
We purified their sincerity through sincere remembrance of the
Abode. (Surah Sad, 46)
So let those who sell the life of this world for the hereafter fight in
the Way of God. If someone fights in the Way of God, whether he

is killed or is victorious, We will pay him an immense reward. (Surat
an-Nisa’, 74)
God has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth
in return for the Garden. They fight in the Way of God and they
kill and are killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah, the
Gospel and the Qur’an and who is truer to his contract than God?

Rejoice then in the bargain you have made. That is the great victory.
(Surat at-Tawba, 111)
Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden as
wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the people who
guard against evil. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 133)
But as for anyone who desires the hereafter, and strives for it with
the striving it deserves, being a believer, the striving of such people
will be gratefully acknowledged. (Surat al-Isra’, 19)

(His people said to Qarun,) ‘Seek the abode of the hereafter with
what God has given you, without forgetting your portion of this
world. And do good as God has been good to you. And do not seek
to cause corruption in the earth. God does not love corrupters.’
(Surat al-Qasas, 77)
