SEEKING ONLY GOD’S APPROVAL AND
CONTENTMENT IN EVERY RESPECT THROUGHOUT
THE DAY WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN
RETURN
And among the people there are some who give up everything,

desiring the good pleasure of God. God is Ever-Gentle with His
servants. (Surat al-Baqarah, 207)
The metaphor of those who spend their wealth, desiring the pleas-
ure of God and firmness for themselves, is that of a garden on a
hillside. When heavy rain falls on it, it doubles its produce; and if
heavy rain does not fall, there is dew. God sees what you do. (Surat
al-Baqarah, 265)
You are not responsible for their guidance, but God guides whoever

He wills. Whatever good you give away is to your own benefit, when
you give desiring only the Face of God. Whatever good you give
away will be repaid to you in full. You will not be wronged. (Surat
al-Baqarah, 272)
He (Musa) said, ‘They are following in my tracks. I have hurried on
ahead to you, My Lord, to gain Your good pleasure.’ (Surah Ta Ha,

84)
Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord
morning and evening, desiring His face. Do not turn your eyes
from them, desiring the attractions of this world. And do not obey
someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remem-
brance and who follows his own whims and desires and whose life
has transgressed all bounds. (Surat al-Kahf, 28)
Give relatives their due, and the poor and travellers. That is best for

those who seek the pleasure of God. They are the ones who are suc-
cessful. (Surat ar-Rum, 38)
