LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

And (He will) provide for him from where he does not expect.
Whoever puts his trust in God–He will be enough for him. God
always achieves His aim. God has appointed a measure for all things.
(Surat al-Talaq, 3)

Say: ‘He is the All-Merciful. We believe in Him and trust in Him.
You will soon know who is clearly misguided.’ (Surat al-Mulk, 29)
Lord of the East and West–there is no god but Him–so take Him as
your Guardian. (Surat al-Muzammil, 9)
So they (Pharaoh and his troops) pursued them towards the east.

And when the two hosts came into sight of one another, Musa’s
companions said, ‘We will surely be overtaken!’ He (Musa) said,
‘Never! My Lord is with me and He will guide me.’ (Surat ash-
Shu`ara’, 60-62)
The magicians threw themselves down in prostration. They said,
‘We believe in the Lord of Harun and Musa.’ Pharaoh said, ‘Do you
believe in him before I have authorised you? He is your chief, the
one who taught you magic. I will cut off your hands and feet alter-
nately and have you crucified on palm trunks. Then you will know

for certain which of us has the harsher and longer lasting punish-
ment.’ They (magicians) said (to Pharaoh), ‘We will never prefer
you to the Clear Signs which have come to us nor to Him Who
brought us into being. Decide on any judgment you like. Your
jurisdiction only covers the life of this world.’ (The magicians said
to Pharaoh,) ‘We have believed in our Lord so that He may forgive
us for our mistakes and for the magic which you forced us to per-

form. God is better and longer lasting.’ (Surah Ta Ha, 70-73)
